Grrrr car problem akin to Ally's boot clasp. £300 quid for eff all

The silver lining, is that 5 years ago, this would have gone onto a cc, with general curses of "where the hell are we going to find that money?" whereas now it's "grrrr what a blimming nuisance"

Rushed back excitedly to pick up the next batch of cards only to find they'd printed them on the wrong card. They are reprinting tomorrow and it looks like I get the keep the others too but I wouldn't sell them as the card is a bit thin and cheap looking, I have no idea what to with them!

Can you frame them and sell at your craft fairs etc?

I have stocked up on sandwich stuff and bread at work for the week so I can stop using "I woke up late" as an excuse for forgetting to take a packed lunch to work instead of going out and buying something :doh:

Evening all,
Busy day. Money saving bits as follows:
*Free fitness walking to post office. Made good inroads into my daily step target (7000), as I've done more than 10,000 today & have burned 500 calories more than I've eaten (which is my aim).
*Cleared small garden border & rescued lots of self-sown plants (hence free ones!).
*Blitzed general dumping ground behind greenhouse & found some useful stuff I'd forgotten about, as well as lot of stuff for our hungry compost bins.
*Laundry dried outside on the line. Washer set on timer for another cheap overnight wash.
*Made wraps for tonight's meal using some of the refried beans I batch cooked last month & home made fajhita spice.
*Straightened out a slightly inaccurate Savings Piggy.
*Did a survey.
*Checked ebay listings. Seems like a lot of effort after getting used to Ziffit though may have to chase Z if I don't hear from them this week that they've received my parcel.
*Watered seedlings.
*Did a bit of maintenance on bathroom basin as it was running slowly. Much improved.
*mr f seems to have sorted out a scary-looking problem with our living flames gas fire without calling gasman out. If problem reoccurs, will defo phone it in though as you need to be safe where gas is concerned.
*Did some mending.
*Continue knitting project.
Mr f on a half day tomorrow. I am apparently being taken out for coffee....which will be much more exciting than my own planned purchase.......a new mop-head! My life just gets more glamorous every day, doesn't it?
Just going to shift cat to check that fire again, then knitting needle time.
Bye,
F xx

I like your thinking Ziggy & CLF.

I'm getting jealous of peoples talk about drying laundry outside, even on the days it has not snowed or rained the flags have still been wet, so no point as the won't dry out there. children

Children had training in a neighbouring city which takes at least 3 hours out of the middle of the day, which is somewhat frustrating.

Today's list:
Chase refund #1 item returned in January Refund done manually, the item has been lost by Royal Mail
Chase refund #2 item returned in February Refund done manually, my refund "got lost" between their systems and was missed when they updated one part of the system
I will keep an eye on that the money does actually come back to us
Haggle our broadband package reneogiated, the same package but saving £220+ for the year
HE children Done
BLD from stores Done
Stick to meal plan Done
Turn off lights and appliances not in use Done
Renew library books Done
RM survey Done, the new system is interesting
PAD Done
Transfer money between accounts Done
Use some of the tea mountain Done today it was decaf teabag & loose leaf earl grey
Use free milk pods with my tea Done, used with my regular red bush cuppa, coffee & earl grey I had black, I served friends milk in a jug

A friend popped round for an hour, tea/coffee/biscuits from stores and catching up all free :money:

I'm not able to get the coloured text to work

Best go, ds is singing David Bowie at the top of his voice, not exactly in bed sleeping.

I could definitely do that with the Christening one, I might take a trip to the pound shop to look at frames!

CLF, if they definitely don't ask for them back then 60 slightly sub standard Shayla cards might be winging their way to you :rotfl:

It was like a spring day here this morning for about half an hour!

I've spent more time sorting and tidying in the house and finally got around to putting down a rug to suppress some weeds at the back of my house where I'm going to put some tyres down to grow some fruit/veggies this summer.

I posted my grant application so fingers crossed!
