Morning All :hello:
Hugs to Sophiesmum and family. I hope everything goes calmly for you all.
Rotten weather again. I said to DD my diary has "can't mow lawn because of rain" about 50 times this summer :rotfl: She says my diary is boring and I'd agree, it's been so repetitive :rotfl:
But today I have/will:- brought in packed lunch HM soup with HM bread. I too have not bought bread since I bought the BM in January :money: though some of the loaves have been pretty awful.

- Last night I complained to Mr T about a couple of missing items on my delivery and got them refunded and a £5 voucher for my next order.
- charging phone at work
- piggy clicks and on-line banking done.

I bought my shampoo and conditioner with my boots advantage points today, didn't have to spend a penny. Only a small thing but it makes me smile every single time

I don't know where the days are going just now, they are flying in;
I must've walked around 3 or 4 miles today, to school, toddlers, back to school, home for school lunch, back to school, home again, back to school for pick ups.. the butchers.... I am shattered, but hey at least the exercise is free!
I have checked online banking, slightly better than I thought.
Sold 1 item on ebay, more finishing tonight.
OMG That's it for today so far,:eek: hopefully I be able to update and add more later on tonight.
Good luck everyone else, have a good day/night x0 -
Well my day changed dramatically! Didn't end up doing the mystery shops today as two were much further out than i realised and figured it wasn't worth bracing the weather and when it worked out i would be doing it all for around minimum wage or less!! Instead went to a planning meeting for a new job where they want me to train for a new position, wont be more money but will be a good job title that may always lead to different things!
Also ended up having a falling out with a mystery shopping company, telling me they had sent emails but i hadn't received them!! Have to admit i will be glad to get back to work next week and not doing mystery shopping work as much. Have tried doing it full time and decided having a proper job is much better!!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Hugs to Sophiesmum and the rest of the family.
* Today trying for another NSD - hopefully no 2 of 8.
* Last night I went on-line banking and found out that we had accidentally overpaid M&S - meaning I cleared the account :j plus about £115! - but making our overdraft worse! :mad: Will need to use the card for petrol and food to get it back and to bring our overdraft back on track. In case you were wondering - we hadn't been able to get on line for a few days - I got a personal banker to set somethings up for me but between us we over-did it!:eek:
* I wouldn't mind so much but I overpaid Halifax by £150 in the same way last month - and then ended up over-spending (ie more than £150) on it in an effort to get the money back. :eek: Lucky I had some bingo winnings to go back on card which has now virtually cleared it all but about £13.
* Having for tea - what I made last night - so if the rain had not already eliminated the temptation to go out - at least this reduces the excuse.
* Need to find something more to do for my £10 a day challenge... stalled now.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality
