  • Wow an elf you say!!! Hmm is it getting festive around here???

    Feeling very delicate - why so???? - not trodden on by coos or sheeps this morning (although one oversized cow did decide to get stuck in the calf feeder) bit of encouragement she came out - looking sheepish (bad joke)

    Anyway - my saga of WTFC (Working tax family credits) continued to its bitter demise, the moral of the story is they are a law unto themselves - just paid back the money they gave me two days ago by accident- boo hoo - as my grannie would say 'what fir ye willnae go past ye'

    Still smiling does that make me insane or just use to the unexpected??

    Good Afternoon

    I now feel somewhat human (red wine is evil) and I am ready to face the day the MSE way, possibly with sparkles (maybe I am still a bit tipsy lol). So today I have/will:
    • Banking
    • Clicks
    • NSD
    • Free lunch at grannies
    • Store cupboard dinner
    • Deal with the party debris
    • Freeze the (very little) remaining red wine for future sauces :D
    • Tidy the debris
    • Organise items to sell on ebay
    • Try to go for a walk to get some fresh air and much needed exercise
    So exciting that there is an elf to be on our thread!
    Taking responsibility one penny at a time!
  • Hi there everyone

    This is my first post - although I've been lurking for a while!

    Just wanted to say hello and join the thread - I've been getting some fantastic tips - and learning a totally new lingo.

    Today I have/will:
    1. Check online banking
    2. Have received my £5 M&S voucher for direct line home insurance quote
    3. Will put at least 3 things on ebay
    4. Will do 3 reviews on dooyoo
    5. Have a NSD
    6. Do my washing at 30 degrees

    That's enough for now!

  • Afternoon all, well a lazy day for me, after my councelling session this mornign felt a bit fluffy and spent day chatting to mum and made lunch from home. I ate 2 hamburgers! Piggy me but they were sooooo nice!!! And i used up stuff rather than waste which pleased me!

    I have been good today though, i bought a cheaper tv mag for 45p but also a cola has feeling sleepy! So total spend today £1.10. I went to local library and read the daily newspapers and OK mag. Saved so much pennies, usually a tuesday is a bad today i spend on magazines!

    Dinner tonight, well am going to have i think a vegie pie and corn on cob. Not sure will def be something from in doors though so i dont spend!

    Thats it from me, i best get down to do some uni work lazy me! THanks all for kind messages yesterday. Will pop back on here tonight and catch up

  • Thank you - it does seem to be a very friendly forum. Just seen that ebay are offering free listings this weekend for start prices less than 99p - guess I'll just get the photos ready then!
  • Waving from up north - oooh free listings again - DS needs to sell some of his warhammar - will remind him!!
    And I of course as always have babies of the plant variety to sell - must take some photos - ta for the push and welcome!!!!!

    Washing nearly dry - amazing - its so manky outside
    Milk ordered woo hoo
    Attempting to be a bit sparkly......loopy comes naturally to me no help required!
