Hi all,
likklegibbon my voice is much better today thank you, which unfortunately means that when I go in to do my planning tomorrow, it'll be obvious that I should be teaching on Friday, so looks like I'll be going back to work on Friday instead of Monday now.
Just got back from the food shopping, and have done a few more things on my list, so I'll have to find my post and update it in a minute.

Thanks for the list lil_me. I am having a girly day with my friends so am devoting the whole day as far as possible (until the kids get home) to me, me, me and so I'm going to cheat and crack on with tomorrows flying now!0

Have got a little ahead as need to make a special birthday card for Fri and will be at wotk til about 9.30pm on Thurs
Off to work on the card now.......We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.0 -
Hellloooo! I'm early this evening because I couldn't be a**ed at work today so booked a last minute half day. It was exactly what I needed. Apart from not being behind with the thread (in terms of reading it I mean) I went to a huge garden centre near work and wandered around for ages instead of the hit'n'run mission I would've had after work. I got £37 worth of 'gift tat' and xmas decorations for £5.75 which I was chuffed about.
Two washloads, one BM run and a pan of Thai chicken noodle soup chucked together and scoffed and a S&S of the kitchen. I'm joining the bedroom rebels today - only 'cos I'm with mudbath and Dusty on the bedroom as Sanctuary thing and there's nothing to be done in there. Oh how I wish it were the same for the bathroom, which is where I'll be headed, say 6.30 if anyone wants a HHC buddy?
Hugs to those feeling under the weather and low in spirit today, look after yourselves. Hurrah for those on the mend or who've had things to look forward to sent their way today. I'm feeling very optimistic today - about nothing in particular but suspicious as it usually precedes a slump. Making the most of it..
Back at 6.30 to see if there's any takers.
PS Hi to more new folks today! Hope you find the lists and posts useful.One debt v 100 days Part 14 £400/£400
One debt v 100 days Part 13 £329.66/£380

Wow good luck Mudbath thats quite a challange.
I know it's a bit scary but even if I don't meet the whole challenge at least we'll only need to borrow the little bit that I don't managed to earn - if that makes sense - which has got to be better than borrowing the whole six grand.
I'm going to look at tomorrow's list and maybe make a start as i'm working all day tomorrow.
My computer is sooooooooooo slow today it's driving me mad.0 -
Rach - have a fab day on Saturday. Enjoy every minute as it goes so fast. Love and best wishes for the day xx
Ok, my list for tomorrow which I'm going to start now as i'm insane busy tomorrow;
Thursday Bathroom, downstairs loo and clinic
Level One
Clean floors
Level Two
Clean baths, toilets and sinks
Dust clinic
Level Three
Clear clutter from floor
Wipe down tiles in bathroom
Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required
Extra mission:
Pick whichever you want to attempt:
- Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms
- clean the radiators in these rooms (and behind them if you can)
- unload dishwasher
- unload washing machine / dry for ten minutes and hang
- 27 boogie woogie fling thing
- shred / file 27 things in study
- clicks / surveys / pigsback etc
That's it so i'll make a start now. I only need another 55p for a £10 voucher with pigsback. I'll have to sell it on ebay to turn it into real money I guess.
Right, i'm going to do a HHC 645 till 715.
