    Afternoon all

    Pollybear - hope your dog is okay

    Hugs to everyone in need

    Been out all morning, got most jobs done I needed to do. Just scoffed some leftover pasta from last night and need to look through our budget for April and then I think I'll start on one of my new library books while DS is asleep.

    No snow here today but its soooooooo cold, sat in lounge and I'm freezing while everywhere heats up.

    Catch you all later xx
    Lightbulb moment 15th Feb 2007:doh: Now Debt Free and plan on it staying that way!

  • Well shopping arrived and put away - managed to make my way to freezer in the garage without having to jump over stuff! There is floor there now too - and you can see it :o

    5 pics taken for ebay - then it all came to a standstill as I can't find some instructions for things (I know I have taken them out of the file as there is nothing in the "v" section)

    dd2 fast asleep on the sofa - so no chance of me starting in the lounge yet and no motivation to do the quiet jobs either :confused:

    dd1 has no dance class tonight as apparently it is a local holiday and the hall is closed so I will work on the list once we are back from school *I will, I will, I will*

    Off to check some "safe places" for instructions - unless I can find something else to dither over... help!!!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    We have just spent an HOUR taking down posters and stuff off the walls :eek: The room already looks twice the size :o

    Now she's watching another Barbie DVD so I'm going to get stuck into the kitchen once I've just had a quick lunch. Shouldn't take much but just wondering if I can rejig things in there enough to get rid of a small shelving unit which is becoming a big hotspot. :o We'll see.

    Dailies :
    • Beds
    • DISHES :o
    • Bathroom S&S
    • Laundry (put the dry non-iron stuff away) No washing :D
    • Ironing - tonight while watching something on the TV or maybe later while watching a DVD with DD.

    This is just totally shocking and so sad.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/northern_ireland/7311801.stm
    I worked with this fella's younger brother and the rumor that is going around was that who ever done it cut the man's throat. It's just totally disgraceful and sick, i live 6 miles from this town. It's just so so sad another life gone over nothing.

    it would make you never go out to a pub or club again.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    PPI Party Pooper
    Done my food shopping and had my lunch, was piggin' starving by the time i got home:o

    Spent a little more than i had planned, but they had loads of reduced chicken breasts so bought loads and shoved them in the freezer. Still under budget on the GC just:rolleyes:

    Just going to go and tidy up lunch dishes then will crack on with this list:D

    BM on and hopefully have some nice bread later, trying a new recipe as all the rest have turned out not that great.

    Washing pile going down but running out of room for wet clothes.

    Right gonna make a proper go on this list. Update later.
