Did not really fly yesterday, came back from the supermarket and developed a stonking headache. Still feel a bit thick-headed now (though that is fairly normal)

Thought I would put my list up anyway and pick out what really needs doing; hope eveyone else is feeling good :j

Flyladies do many of your kids have an inset day this Friday? Trying to get a feel for how many schools are likely to be off - thanks

Not feeling very motivated today, ended up going out to our staff party last night, free bar not good for motivation the next day:o Was a good night though, wasnt home too late.
Have an appt to see mortgage advisor today so that should be fun!

It has just taken me 2 HOURS to update my finances :eek::o Also discovered I've spent £50 on my mobile so far this month....so I've just changed my bundle of texts (thats all I seem to do, bought 200 on the 14th and they ran out last night:eek: ) to £36 for 1500texts BUT since its cross network ones at 12p a go otherwise its got to work out cheaper for me! (quickly does 1500 x 0.12 = £180 :eek::eek:). Having a social life is great, but its working out expensive!

Off to try and sort out a budget now. Oh fun!!! :wave:

ETA : I've just done that Halifax application and been accepted Only a limit of £1500 but its better than nothing and that alone will virtually clear my BT from my current cc which will halve my interest payments! :j:j Now I just need to concentrate on paying it off my other CC ASAP!

Cup of tea sit down time. I've only been up 4 hours and I'm goosed.

Finished the cleaning in my bedroom. Since I changed the bedding last night, I thought I may as well carry on even though it wasn't on my list.
Did the hall and front porch (also not on my list)
Chopped down an elder from under my bedroom window -shrub sized and bungalow before you think of me scaling ladders with a chainsaw!
Two washloads out..

Going to put my feet up for a bit and look on line for a new mobile, I was due a free handset upgrade in January and haven't got round to it yet.

Before I forget, Pigpen, have a fab time!

LIL_ME.. get yourself to Coventry before the concert starts and you can come with me!!!!!!!!!!
