    Hi everybody

    Sorry I haven't been on for the past week or so. Was involved in a car crash last week. I wasn't badly hurt or anything, but it's going to cost me a fortune in terms of my excess and loss of NCB.

    Today I have two loads of washing out on the line
    Done all of the online surveys in my inbox
    Walked to the shops (okay that's because I don't have a car at the minute, but I'm classing it as a money saving exercise anyway :D )
    Bought loads of baking ingredients, and going to have a go at baking some goodies this afternoon (I also had a coupon to use at Sainsburys so that was even better).
    Sorted out my fridge, freezer and cupboards, so I have a much better idea of what needs to be on my shopping list
    Downgraded my usual Sunday joint to a joint of brisket which I'm pot roasting as we speak.
    Decided on my target for the October grocery challenge.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done

  • Hi everyone, I am still poorly and not eating so saving me a fortune in food and weight loss ideas. Had more NSDs due to not being able to leave house for long.
    Karb - pleased you were OK after the accident, thats all that matt
    ers.
    I will try to
    FOR MY BUSINESS
    - continue putting together my portfolio if I feel well enough
    - find address of one of my customers I need to send stuff to
    - download some photos from last week, business related
    - check my advertising as its now time to get bookings for next year
    - sort some photos for my website

    MONEY
    -check online accounts, maybe send an extra payment to CC due to no of NSDs I have had/money saved by not going out
    - set up DD to savings plan
    - file some paperwork

    OTHERS
    - list some stuff on ebay (aim to photograph items as I am not well)
    - do some washing on quickwas, dry outside (no choice as I have no tumble dryer now)
  • Afternoon. Been a very long time since I have posted on this kind of thread but I am feeling the need to do so!

    So what have I done today....

    * Put a mini load of washing on and dried it outside.
    * Been to Sainsburys and stuck to list EXCEPT for buying some things that were much reduced that we use a lot of anyway - these will help to make dinners in the coming week.
    * Resisted taking filthy car to hand car wash - fiancé then hoovered & washed it when I got back from supermarket!
    * Had a 'use-up-from-freezer' lunch
    * Put a tenner in savings account! I am determined to get into the habit for when overdraft is gone (or at least down to the interest free £250 level!)

    Hope to get back into this thread habit daily now.

  • A big thank you to all who posted encouragement and wise words. I do feel better now and know it's just a case of 'getting on with it'. That's life isn't it.
    This forum is amazing and this thread in particular, so big thanks from me, I hope you have a great end to your weekend and a positive start to Monday. Hope you are OK Karb, even if you're not 'hurt' it still shakes you up

    I had the remains of last night's veg biryani nuked for breakfast (cost £3.80 last night and I had about 1/5th of it left so refrigerated the left overs).

    Heated up a naan bread I'd got from the Coop for tea. Half price offer at the moment so that was a 27p tea in 5 minutes with no washing up :)
