What small DFW things will you do w/c 14th January 2019?

Morning all :hello: thanks for starting us off CLF

My list today:
Wfh :j will try and fit in a run. Famous last words :rotfl:
One load of washing to hang out round the house, too damp for outside
Some other washing to put away
Tweak meal plan now we know what's in veg box. Tonight will be smoked haddock and leek risotto
Freeze a portion of white cabbage that was left over from yesterday
Call and cancel a policy and then associated direct debit
Peel and chop a fresh pineapple

Will be back later. Have a good start to the week folks. Purps.

Morning all! :hello:

I really must get better at posting at the weekend! Still it was pretty on-track and quite productive, lots of mending, dying (jeans and hair, not same colour), dog walks and a bit of sorting the Room of Doom.

HORRIBLE dreams last night though, so I'm feeling a little "behind glass" today.

Today's list:
- bike to work AM
- all meals and snacks from stores - I have finished the ham! This week's meals are on the theme of feta cheese instead :rotfl:
- no alcohol
- wash towels/shirt/slippers used during henna-ing process (I have old ones for this purpose to avoid ruining good stuff)
- forms for dog walker (not MSE at all but neccessary)

Have a good day all

Morning all :waves:

Normality has resumed! DS1 shingles have all scabbed over so all kids back at school! :D:D My first time alone since they broke up for Christmas so I'm determined not to waste these precious 6 hours!

A bit of a cleanup today - re-homed an old sofa at the weekend which leaves me room to move in the Room of Doom and try to get it back into use. I upcycled/semi-destroyed some built in shelves to convert to a dedicated home-office area (£0)- and am sitting here now, leaving me a lovely big area in the hall organise the chaos that is kids coats/shoes/bags. I won't do anything about it today, but have promised myself 1/2 hour on pintrest for ideas later, if I finish my list. :beer:

List for today, including a couple of frogs.

School run without purse to avoid Greggs temptation. Done

Order library book (I've discovered a new author) Ordered 2 :-)

Reconcile bank/receipts

Soup or jacket potato in the oven for lunch Opted for jacket as they are starting to sprout. Popped in Everhot before swim, ready when I came back to eat with coleslaw that needs eating up

Fill dishwasher Done - Trying to work out if the 'Eco' setting (45 deg 3 hours) is better than the 'Rapid' wash (65 deg, 45 mins) Must find the manual for energy usage....

Washing out, (cycle nearly complete), put dry load away. Done - chanced a second load on the line but it's a bit grey so I'm not sure how much will dry

Strip our bed (Kids can last a bit longer) Done

After school clubs start this week, so check diary/calendar is correct

Hoover/dust a roomLast task before school run!

Clean bathroom Done, using my first purchase of Stardrop

Sort out one random box of paperwork and re-home properly into new office area

Check freezer and write meal plan/shopping list

Something homemade for afterschool snack Tried some scones - they look a bit flat but I doubt the kids will care

Ring plumber (not responding to any emails/texts so far. The Room of Doom is cold :-( )Still no response. :-(
List one item from my box for sale.

Work on 'money box' strategy now all big spends have gone out this month.

Use membership for swim at 11am when pool is open. Done, but a bit later in order to put the second wash on the line. I've not been on a Monday before and it was busy. I'll try earlier next week as I don't like the constant lane shuffle

Not too cold, so heating off most of the day


Phew! That's quite a list, so I'd better get on! The sun has come out so the washing machine needs to hurry up!

Have a lovely day all. :rotfl:

** Played around with spreadsheet and switched some standing orders to the 1st of the month rather then scattered through the month, so far this last couple of months I've gone down from 60+ lines of transactions a month on my spreadsheet down to 40 ish the last couple of months - this continues to save me time each month!
Thats my starter, have a good day all.
