Morning
Hope everyone is having a good day. I've just finished more website stuff so now I'm can fly. Just a quick tidy up needed and then the bathrooms.
I've already done the washing and hung it on the line (towels and underwear so no ironing needed).
Must boil some more water before I forget - I can't believe how much water we get through.
HHE on wii fit this afternoon before collecting the kids from school.

Then I'm going to go and look for a new bed, yes I have debts so I shouldn't really be spending the money, but I can't stand my bed much longer - the mattress used to be my grandparents and is about 16 years old, and the bedframe is awful and constantly creaks.I'm longing for a nights sleep where I can't feel EVERY spring, I can turn over without it sounding like one of those football rattles and hopefully wake up without backache. ONLY looking at ones in the sales though. I've know of at least 4 places excluding Argos where I can look :wave:

I just ordered a new Silent night Orthopaedic Firm mattress from Littlewoods, was 169 pounds, free delivery and interest free credit so is costing me 3 pounds something a week for a year. Dont know if that is any help to you, there is also some discount codes floating about which may reduce the cost further. HTH:D

Morning all

One load of washing already dry and put away and the throws are on the line now.

Bathroom/toilet cleaned - my PC desk in the hallway so that gets done with the living room/stairs.

My dog (Polly) is ill again - another bout of vestibular syndrome It's so sad watching her trying to navigate round the house and bumping into stuff. (It's similar to labyrinthinitus (sp?) in humans, an inner ear problem which messes up the balance). Makes me cry, especially when she tries to be cheerful.

Welcome to the newbies, I can't remember the names but welcome anyway

hev_2

Just popping in to say thank you again for the list.

I really appreciate it.

:j:j And I've meal planned for all of July - never thought I'd do that. All I need to do now is stick to it :rolleyes:

Oh Pollybear thats awful, hate to see animals distressed. Hope she will be ok:A

Mudbath

Pollybear - hugs to you and your pooch. The poor thing - I have a permanant condition with the same symptoms as labrinthitis (sp?) but at least I know what's going on. Poor little pup...give her a hug from me xx

Pretz, we had a neughbour who decided to test a camping stove in his living room, then when the carpet went on fire he put the sofa over it! Took weeks for the smell to go! Hopefully a good scrub and it will be dealt with. However I'd ask the neighbour in to clean up the mess!

off to tackle the kids room of doom, if I'm not back in an hour, I'd like purple flowers at my memorial.

Afternoon all,

Start by saying I havent managed any flying this week and have no intentions of doing much for whats left. (sorry pigpen) but girls and me now on school holidays and i have been taking stock this morning I have to get house and finances sorted. This year has flown by, all energy has been spent on moving and MSE & OS practices have gone out the window.

so my list for next two days_
s&s all rooms - then take notes on what else need doing in each room=
kitchen
lounge
dining room
bedroom
dd1 bedroom
dd2 bedroom
small loo
finish helping OH tile bathroom (walls finished just need to work out how to do floor)
finances -
work out spend on house ( i think we are over budget but not by much)
work out monthly grocery budget and stick to it
file paper work (have about 4 months sitting in a corner)

and generally get myself more organised, at the moment the head is buzzing and I am picking at lots of bits instead of finishing one thing before moving onto the next.

HELP PLEASE just wondered if anyone here uses other threads on MSE to help me sort things out and could recommend them, I have touched on the grocery challenge thread before and will be going back to that properly but was hoping for help on budgets and keeping records, all PM's and posts most welcome.
