Just wanted to put my list on this page so I don't have to keep flicking back.

• Put mattress and bath out on Monday for collection.

Feel like I'm starting to see some progress now. The builders have been in touched and are booked in to start work the last Monday is August for about 2 weeks. Going to cost in the region on 1.7K all in all...so there goes any hopes of OPing for a while!

Anyhoo, FIL has agreed to help OH fix the soil pipe and fit the new bathroom when it arrives next weekend...which I'm more than excited about! He's also agreed to help dig up the yard and lay the foundations of the shed thing with OH. YEY! Think OH told him I'm refusing to give any grandkids till the house is sorted! Ha ha ha.

I really will be happy to just have one finished room rather than lots of partially done bits and pieces. It's pretty frustrating. But still, I feel like we are getting there... albeit very slowly!

On the plus side though...today has been a NSD! Yey! And I'm off to check for any MS jobs that may have appeared.

Which makes me think...if we hadn't have been saving to OP the mortgage, we wouldn't of had the cash lying around to pay for these things.

IMAGINE....how much debt would we be in now?? This made me feel quite good about it all actually! :j

Top way to look at it, well done :T

Bit of a frustrating morning. OH convinced himself that the council were coming for the mattress and bath tomorrow rather than today...so he didn't put them out. THEY CAME TODAY! It's rather upsetting if you ask me!! We only get 3 free collections per year. That and the fridge freezer (even though we had to pay for both) count as 2 of our 3 free collections.

So if they do agree to come again it's another £5.50 down the drain AND the last of our collections for 12 mths. Hope we don't need to get rid of anything else!

I'm trying to sort out my uni assignment today as well and as of yet I'm not have a tremendous amount of luck!! It's very confusing...the people doing it clearly have no idea what they are talking about! Very frustrating as the assignment doesn't actually make sense. Part of me is now wondering if I actually want to do an MSc anyway! Grrr...

Dare I ask what the assignment is about or should I just keep well away!

Ha ha ha....it's organising some portfolio for each transition point during NQT year...which is fine. But the structure and what they are asking us to do with it doesn't make sense. I'm almost looking forward to going on to the essays now!!!

In fact I don't understand how any of this is MSc level work! It's just stupid.

oh er I think I'll leave you to it, having enough trouble trying to sort out my level 4 course - brain definately not working!

Fed up doing my assignment work so thought I'd take a break by making ANOTHER list. :rotfl:

• [STRIKE]Clean the shower after the ripping off bathroom tiles and other dirty jobs have been done.[/STRIKE]
• Finish sorting through my cupboards in the bedroom and dig out anything else that is for the charity shop.
• Clean the office OH is doing his half first
• Sort out collection for [STRIKE]mattress and[/STRIKE] bath.
• List things on ebay...just waiting for a free listings day.
• [STRIKE]Finish tax forms and send off.[/STRIKE]
• Get on top of the washing. More done and hung out drying
• File all bits and pieces.
• [STRIKE]Send off forms for the new ISA[/STRIKE].
• [STRIKE]Read articles for 2nd essay. Sticking to the plan so far! Yay![/STRIKE]
• Read articles for 3rd essay. Downloaded all the reading material - just need to read it.
• Write 2nd essay.
• Write 3rd essay.
• Organise portfolio.
• Redraft 1st essay based on feedback.
• [STRIKE]Post cheque for Muse tickets.[/STRIKE]
• Up d/d for mortgage so a monthly OP is made every month.
• [STRIKE]Create and update MS ledger for tax purposes.[/STRIKE] As if I owe the tax man money...it's just rude!

Got just the excuse I was looking for when it comes to giving up on my assignment! OH is on his way home and has asked me to make tea! Ahhhh...it's a hard life! I'll just have to put uni work away then! Gutted.

Hi Twinklie,

Good luck with the assignments, I gave up on my msc and I wish i'd tried a bit harder to keep it up. Hope you get it done quickly!:D
