    Afternoon All,

    I have been feeling poorly the last few days but this has meant more time at home, spending less and doing more.

    I have:
    Cancelled sky subscription of the Movies and MAN U TV.
    Baked lots of biscuits/cookies using cupboard stock
    Made 2 pots of soup
    Had 2 NSDs

    Today I will
    Clean the house using stardrops and microfibre
    Make pizza dough in breadmaker
    Piggy Clicks
    Check quidco
    Check paypal to see if an "E-cheque" has cleared yet.
    Make more of Twinks Hobknobs
    2 x 30 degree washes using my comfort fabric softener freebies that came in the post on Saturday.

    Have a great day everyone, Hope you're feeling better soon Andan, hugs to Sophiesmum. xx
  • I have just secured a £75 refund from my water company for surface water charges i should not have incurred over the last two years, this will reduce my water bill as will no longer be charged for this and th £75 quid should bring my DD down to about a tenner for the rest of the financial year.

    Well chuffed.
    Was in debt £23k- Not now (12/07-12/10):T
    Did smoke- Not any more (26-02-11):j
    I am not perfect but everyone loves a trier don't they??:A
  • Hello everyone,
    A bit late today as I've been procrastinating and buying things online (but Xmas/birthday pressies - nothing at all for myself). My list will be short today as it contains the essentials:
    -do coursework and finish it!!!!
    -send one particular email and one letter that keeps getting put off
    -make a cheese and potato bake for dinner - mmmm

    I will not log back in till this is all done:rolleyes:

    Then hopefully put my feet up :T

    Get well soon to all the ill people here, and keep warm and cosy (this cold is nothing compared to what we'll get in the winter, I know, but it feels so chilly today!)

    SW xx

    Shameless bump, for all those who can't find it.

    Also, managed to remember to renew my library books online so i didn't incur a fine. When i was out and about today kept seeing signs about the library which managed to remind me!!

    However, now that i am driving, i was very miffed about the fact that the machines at car parks don't give change, so i ended up putting £1 in the meter when i only needed to put 35p. I know its not much, but i don't see why they should take our money!!

    I have also applied for a new credit card today, as i need to do a balance transfer as my 0% deal is running out soon, hope i get accepted, otherwise i will just have to use my savings to pay it off, when i would rather keep on stoozing!!

    Nice to see you Sophiesmum, its been a pleasure posting the thread each day, but am very happy to return it to its rightful owner:D You know where i am if you need my help in the future (especially as i am always on mse:o)

    I hope arrangments for the funeral are/have gone well and am sure it will be a special service for what sounds like a very special man.

    Right, now i must come off here and go and wash away these germs:rotfl:
