Tuesday 4th December - What small DFW things will you do today?!
Comments
-
Evening from Thailand.
1. Collected 1100 baht loan repayment from a small business owner who borrowed money off me to meet annual charges. The principle
has now been paid completely so this is interest or free money.
2. No work today so a good opportunity to catch up on my reading.
3. Sent an email to a debtor who borrowed 5000 baht from me in June (100 pounds) and still hasn't repaid me. He is now in the USA and I don't think I will get my money back:mad: but I do like to let him know I haven't forgotten about it. He usually ignores my emails but I get a quick response when I post details of his deceit on his facebook wall..
4. Confirmed that I have the day off tomorrow (Kings birthday - National Holiday) so will spend the whole day working on my house to get it as I want it.
5. Am off to one of the bars downtown after this where they have a birthday celebration and free food laid on so no need to pay for an evening meal.0 -
Got any cat litter? That works too.
Oh, you have a dog, maybe you haven't also got a cat...

Also thanks to zepsgal for the zip foot tip from yesterday for me. I never got round to looking at the machine (hectic day in work) but hopefully will tonight.
Didn't quite make the dinner from stores last night because OH insisted on fresh pasta from tesco because it cooks in about 5 mins. Little miffed because he was at home from 5 and could have made dinner already by the time he picked me up at 7 :cool:

Good luck with the sewing foot!
DH was off college all day yesterday (his lecturer was snowed in!) I came in from work at 6.10pm and he had only just taken some meat out of the freezer :mad: !!!!!!?!?!Pernicious wrote: »
I didn't post yesterday as I was providing moral support to a friend at her Dad's funeral & then I was too tired in the evening to do so, will catch up the thread in a mo.
Zepsgal - Pics of your pup please, I am a sucker for all things cute & fluffy!
Erm, not sure how to upload pics on here??Can't think of anything smart to put here...0 -
Thank you allydowd :-) wow, didn't notice the x400, think I may be tempted to go with that one :-) double nectar points too thank you :-) xx
DFW things I've done today
checked online banking, it's not looking good but usually I don't even peek so at least I have the opportunity to make things a little better before its too late
Today will be a NSD and DH has left his wallet at home too so he can't ruin it either yay.
Checked my nectar points balance, we have over £19 worth , I always forget I have the card and have never checked before so will definitely be making more use of this, I've attached it to my ebay account now too, will be hoping to use it towards our christmas shop!
Making a list for tomorrow, DH has taken the day off tomorrow to come to my midwife appointment (I'm really nervous, last time they couldn't feel his head, in fact he last two times!) so I'm worrying he is breech and scared about CS, having him there will hopefully be my lucky charm and baby will let us know where he is, I feel kicks and punches everywhere so I have no clue ) anyway after the midwife appointment we said we would get some crimbo bits and get everything ready for my hospital bag, I'm making a list so I don't stray!
And now I'm going to go and enter some compies , not had much luck this year, but still have a few more weeks to go for that to change. Have a lovely day everyone xx2017 wins so far: Diddly squat

RFTA is it worth looking at free cycle or asking on your local fb selling group as you may get one cheap or free just to tide you over?0 -

Ooooppssss sorry Ally I'm in the east - known locally here as The Fort http://www.fortkinnaird.co.uk/index.htmlOr this iron in Tesco for £5. Link
Funnily enough I have been looking at the value ones - saw one for £3.99 somewhere - you can certainly get things a lot cheaper than you used to!
If anyone needs a hand blender, I bought a s/price one in As*da a couple of months ago for £4 odd and - it's great!:T
They may not last as long but at those sorts of prices, you really can't complain.RFTA is it worth looking at free cycle or asking on your local fb selling group as you may get one cheap or free just to tide you over?
Ohhh hadn't thought of that - TBH I'd be struggling to collect it as still not driving much (had 2nd outing today to OH appt and have to say I'm unfortunately absolutely shattered:o).
I have to go to the hospital on Friday & it's literally a 5 min detour to a T*esco Direct store so will pop in then!:TDon't dread speaking to us; we bank employees are human too and (mostly) friendly.
It's just the thought of it ..... maybe me being irrational but it brings back memories of all the demand letters I used to get! ETA and I did get a comment about my OD ..... and reminded that I've been pre-approved for a loan (which I politely declined!)Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)

Many banking staff are required to hit sales targets and that often means they will mention an overdraft review or offer a loan to every customer who could be eligible for such things. It's not that they're having a moan at you; it's that they have a target to hit!:oDebt-free day: 8th May 2015 The Joy Account: £10 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama0
