Purplefairy Thanks for starting this weeks thread :A

I'm shattered, I'll try and post properly tomorrow.

Thanks for the start, Purps, we appear to burning the candle at different ends!

I went out for our usual Monday fish and chips with my mum today and then took her to the supermarket, I didn't spend anything.

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!

While I was at my mum's I printed out everything I need to apply for the LA start up grant, it's all done and in an envelope ready to drop off tomorrow.

Tomorrow (today) I plan to finish my list of things that need doing in the house, not much left to do. I am going to visit a new DIY store to get more bulbs just in case the ones I have are duds and not the light fittings (they *were* reduced when I bought them so I suppose it's a possibility.)

Hi March Money Magicians,

A much needed day off today.

Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Three:

* Work very hard on my own mental health issues. Do Holistrio App.

* Check online banking and broadband usage.

* Turned off alarm clock until tonight, it resets itself automatically.

* Today is "Operation Kitchen". We moved in 6 months ago and pretty much just threw all our kitchen stuff in the cupboards. We're not making good use of the space and some of our food is being stored outwith the kitchen. I've also got no idea what kitchen items we still own and what we got rid of when we moved. I've twice vowed that I'm going to sort it and haven't. So, I'm going to the Library and then I'm coming back to fix it one cupboard at a time. Wish me luck, I'm finding the thought of this quite stressful.

To live without risk is to risk not living.

Afternoon all

Nice day today, so far

Today's list:
Load of washing out on line to dry (Done)
Take new items to sales unit to fill gaps

(Done)
Two more bags of the mint I split up gone to freecyclers

Pulled a bunch of baby carrots from a big pot in the garden

These were sown too late last year really, but GD wanted to plant some seeds. They are only small, but will make our leftovers seem more of a treat this evening

Went out briefly with OH to deliver an item he had sold

Checked banks and updated spreadsheet
A Yougov survey - may look for others later
Sowed peas and tomato seeds

No spending intended today
Listed an item on ebay - may do a couple more!
Managed a couple more things - a detachable liner for a posh brand of waxed jacket and a posh brand of fleece jacket, OH chucked them out yesterday - he doesn't like wearing the jacket with the liner in it, and the fleece thing, well, I can't think when that would last have fitted him :rotfl: I think it is probably something he was given / picked up cheap secondhand and never worn. Both are in good nick and both already have watchers

It is done! It took me two hours, less time than I thought. :j

Highlights:
* Found the "proper corkscrew" that had been missing for ages and a brand new chopping board that neither of us remembers buying.
* Found that we have supplies of everything we need.
* Getting all the kitchen things into the kitchen(?!). No food in the general storage room down the hall.
* Everything is now arranged logically: all the coffee making things in one place near the kettle etc.
* The things we seldom use are now stored up high or down low.
* We have a lot of Bovril and vinegar and 500 teabags. Will make plans for these.

I'm also really relieved that I didn't find a load of useless junk in there. (DW can be a ClutterBug.) It looks like the things we kept when we moved were the right things.

What small DFW things will you do w/c12th March?
