Wed 4th March - What small DFW-style things will you do today?

New to this so apologies if I don't do it right. Instead of doing the usual and going out for coffee on a rare day off with hubby I've signed us both up to go and read stories at littlies nursery tomorrow for world book day. Building up the courage to actually tell hubby now :eek:

Afternoon all!

Massive thanks for all the good luck wishes! No idea how the interview went - been over analysing everything I said and didn't say since I walked out!

Good luck for today JoJo, hope it's going well!

I managed to borrow a dress and blazer from a friend for my interview, so only had to buy shoes and tights. I did buy a dress and blazer but I'll return those later, although I will need to get some clothes if I get this job but will hopefully be on more money (they didn't tell me the wage but know roughly what I'm on now).

So today I have/will:
* Check banks
* Take pack lunch to work
* Transfer money from clothes pot to cover spends (doesn't quite cover it so will have to use some of the buffer I leave in my bank)
* Fill water bottle up at work
* Check FPL
* Take back clothes
* Dinner from stores
* NSD? - Oops already spent something (amazing how quickly you forget!)

I think that's everything but my brain is still a little fried from interview stress/nerves!

Hope you all have a good day!

Not a good day for me moneysaving wise.

I planned to bring in some houmous but son had eaten it in the early hours of the morning to had to buy a sandwich and I'm in such a bad mood (I work with idiots!) that I bought a doughnut (one of the expensive ones!) to go with it.

I've had an offer on my house (for £25k less than asking price) which I have rejected, will have to wait to see what they come back with but at the moment I've not found anything I love and I don't care if they can't afford it. This will be my last house move (if in fact I move at all) and the equity in my house represents everything I've worked for nearly 40 years for so I'm not about to hand it to anyone else on a plate!

Twiggy - go have nice cup of tea/glass of wine (don't know your circumstances!), pop on some good tunes and have a dance for 20 mins. It'll get your mind clear of over-analysing it

Thanks for the suggestion! I may give this a try when I get home (may get sacked/institutionalised if I start dancing round the office suddenly!) :rotfl:

Afternoon all

A short list from me today, as I have been to a hospital appointment and feel a bit like a pin cushion

Still, they don't need to see me again :T

Hope you feel better soon Ally. How on earth can your work discipline you for being ill? Do they want you to pass it on to everybody else? Seriously, that flu bug is really nasty. I had it before Xmas and it took ages to go. Take care.

Hope your first day back at work went well Jojo

Nice to see new posters again

Right, so what have I done / going to do:

Small shop at Lidls on the way back from the hospital

Rest of the steak and kidney pie I made yesterday for supper - just need to warm it up and cook some fresh veg

Make a loaf in the bread maker (must do this in a minute)

Heating off - I had a fiddle with the bloomin thermostat thingy this morning as it came on in the middle of the night :eek: I hate the controller thing with a passion, as it is so darn complicated, and it seems to make up its own mind when it comes on whatever you do :mad: I think I have sorted it now - it is definitely off and OH has lit the woodburner

Emailed a freecycle lady who asked too late for some books I was getting rid of, for an upcoming sale in aid of a day centre she is involved with. I am sure I can find some more clutter for her

A bit of a pathetic list today I am afraid, but I am tired after not much sleep last night. I was a bit apprehensive about the tests I had to have today, which could have indicated something serious (but thankfully didn't )
