    Aloha everyone!

    I'm feeling happy today even though the weather is rubbish.

    yesterday I...
    - sorted out the travel allowances payment that was missing from my last wage, it'll be in this months.
    -store cupboard meals
    -NSD

    Today I will
    -check banking
    -check mobile spend
    -store cupboard lunch
    -heading to boyfriends for dinner hopefully
    -NSD (hopefully - unless I buy new house phone, mine died last night. Say a good one in Aldi reasonably priced. Verdict, should I get one or wait until the end of the month?)

    Not sure what else.

    Hope you're all shiny!

    • Think of something to do with the toughest Weetabix cake you can imagine- I think an ingedient was omitted. There surely should be eggs of fat? :confused: Maybe a sort of bread pudding is called for.....

    new one to add to my list.

    I just abused the company dymo machine to make little labels for my livingroom plugs so I can see at a glance exactly what can have its power cut at night. much easier than my usual trial and error technique.

    its a little thing, yes, but got me so excited!

  • afternoon all!!

    hope you are all having a good day!!

    time has absolutely flown today what happened???

    so far:
    walked to town and back
    bought £1 tin money box thing that you need a tinopener to get in - this is for x-mas savings :xmastree:
    got some bits from s'burys basics range for cake baking
    remembered to use my coupon for free long life milk :j
    picked up soy and noodles from chinese supermarket - so much cheaper :T
    brought cat toy for new kitten who is moving in with OH at the weekend - was £1 in £ shop and is exactly the same as the £2.49 one in mr A's!!
    got a bottle of stardrops - seen posts recomending it so going to give it a go - 67p in wilko but 75p in mr S so more savings!!

    raining here so not going to do washing as will want to tumble dry :(
    OH is ill today so off to his house to help him do his packing (count down to weekend when he is moving in with me!!!) and do him a nice dinner to make him feel better

    found out sister wants plants in a nice pot for her birthday - will have a sort out of shed later this weekend and see what i can rustle up with what i already have - this and a chocolate cake should keep her happy! :bdaycake:

    so all in all a few spends today but really think i have been good as actually thought about things properly before buying!

    going to start doing a spreadsheet of spends so i can keep an eye on how i am doing.

    plan on getting OH put money he would normally spend on lunch from burger van into our x-mas fund when i make him a pack up :j
    it's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:
