Mumster Monday - Budgetising

It was a mumster Monday here at Chez Q.  After working all weekend, mum and I finally got to sleep in, at least til 8.30am when the bin men arrived to empty the bins and make lots of clattering noise.  Mum had thought of going out for the day, but as the mail only bought bills, her budgetising told her to stay home and make the most of the day.

After a bit of rain, the sun came out, so mum pottered around the garden picking up leaves, then she attempted to tidy up the lounge and kitchen (almost finished).  The shower needed a clean, so mum did that between watching lots of stuff on the DVR.    Before dinner, she even hemmed her new pyjamas to shorty length, which made her happy.  She had gone and got some more thread and denim needles, and is going to attempt to hem some jeans this week - wish her luck!!!

So leftovers are in the oven and I have had my feast and am in bed already (its 6.10pm here).  Mum thinks that she can give herself a few dollars tomorrow to have a treat, but she has to be aware of the budgetising and so no shopping will be allowed.

Hope you are all enjoying your Monday too!!!

  2. If I slept until 8:30 I'd wake up in a panic! I am usually up by 3am so daylight would give me quite a start! LOL! But I am glad to ladies got to enjoy a lovely lie-in!

  3. We are such night owls here that sleeping in means, sleeping until 11! Nine am or so is our normal wake up time... but then we work in the home office until 1 usually, and right now it is actually 2 and we are still here.

  4. Poppy, your mum had a very productive Monday, we're impressed. If she has any energy, tell her to beam over -- tons of work to be done here! :-)

    Thank you so much for your kind words about Auntie El's passing. We're sorry it's taken so long to reply but Mom is having a hard time. It's comforting to have the support of the Cat Blogosphere at this sad time.

  12. Sounds like you and mum had a pawsome day Poppy!

    Our mom needs to learn some lessons on budgetising. She likes retail therapy wayyyyy too much, and she doesn't always remember to buy something for us, MOL
