  • morning everyone!!

    andan - hope today is better than yesterday
    my day went well yesterday - got most things done:j

    BUT small shock yesterday as leather bike trousers do not fit :eek: :eek: . think OH's sweet tooth may have rubbed off a little (and takeways whilst packing).... so for next few weeks no puddings or cake for me (suppose it is cost saving too!!)

    todays plan of action:
    - make OH's packed lunch - done
    - tidy kitchen - done
    - washing on line - done (fingers crossed it doesn't rain!)
    - walk to co-op for milk and bread
    - dinner chicken casserole made from chicken thighs i picked up reduced :D
    - clean bathroom
    - hunt for OH's hair clippers to prevent him paying to have haircut
    - knock on neighbours doors to see who has a virgin phone as mine is not working and wasted £3 of credit on mobile trying to get through to them yesterday (it is free if you phone from a virgin phone but how are you supposed to do that if it is not working?!?!? also, tried looking on internet to see if there is a contact us page on their website but couldnt find anything :mad: :mad: )

    hope everyone has a good day!:j
    it's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:

    Morning all:-

    1. Have brought packed lunch (and prepared tomorrows!)
    2. Have made 3 x shepherds pies (individual) so no temptation to get take away
    3. Have checked MS - no success - not been anything for a while
    4. Will look (at lunch time obviously!) into other MS sites.

    Have a good day everyone

    Hugs for your hubbie, Charlotte.

    Last couple of days I have been very good and all DFW again
    -brought in packed lunch
    -massive check through banking & set up new spreadsheet (:money: free software link from last week THANK YOU) so can see have only £37.30 til payday next Thursday but also worked out debt payments for next couple of months and after Thursday so then will have "only" £3,300 to go which I might just be able to do before Christmas

    -did piggy clicks

    -set up holiday fund bank account for holiday (for group of 8-10) I am organising so don't get my money in a pickle

    - make dinner from freezer stash with enough left over for tomorrows lunch

    - do ironing (not exactly DFW but this pile has been taunting me for weeks!)

    have a lovely day all
