Just made some flapjacks in remoska, and used up the last of my bargain bananas to make a walnut and banana cake in the breadmaker. Guaranteed to get DD and OH in good moods when there's lots of goodies to be had:D

Enjoy the rest of the evening everyone:D

Washing; done overnight on economy 7, will hang out under the covered way outside back door (Almost dry)
Will List 5 more items on ebay (took photos last night)(had a bit of a dilemma here, free listings on saturday, but have decided to post them anyway, beat the competition lol
Look for more items to sell Have found some interesting bits in loft
Read about selling books on amazon. Done, now just to price them up. Think again I will do 5 at a time like ebay
Check online Banking Nothing changed there lol
A Couple of hours work got what i needed to do done in an hour:D
Essay with DS :eek: (I read for him) We mind mapped.
Bacon and cheesy pasta from store cupboard Was yummy
If I have all ingredients I will make flapjacks got ingredients run out of time.

I think I am better off than I would have been. ds's english lesson was cancelled so I have our bus fare which is about £4.50. So I bought his deodorant at local chemist; they have a 99p shelf and I saved money on that. and I think my cheese was only about 50p dearer that in town, so I am a happy bunny.

I have really run out of steam today. Came back from doing Rainbows and was done in then. I have to get up at 5am to take dh to work so I can have car to take ds to orthodontist and go to the allotoment. I gave up my car last December, to see if it would save us money. It did dh works 4 day shifts alternating days and nights, so I am only without car sometimes. I also find I make my journeys count now. I list what I need to do so I can drive around in a big circle, so I use less petrol. It does make me think more about the journeys I make.

I am rambling, better than ranting though:o

Well I am going to make my list for tomorrow:j

savingforarainyday - I am seriously thinking of giving up my car and sharing OH's. He works four nights on then four off so I would be okay most of the time. Main problem is OH keeps his car pristine, whereas mine gets used for bulk shopping,and taking DD to stables and back so is always full of bits of straw, mud etc. I don't know whether I could put up with the moaning from OH who would be a bit :eek: if his car gets mucky:rotfl:
Will have to give it more thought

Evening Guys, Today I have

* Took hm brekkie and lunch to work
* Checked online banking and updated spreadsheets ( yesterdays £275 has debitted so I need to keep an even closer eye on account now for the rest of the month)

* Returned top, £20 to go back into my acc soon.
* Put my name down for overtime in a few weeks
* Couldnt have NSD as I needed jiffy bags for ebay sales but got them from poundland

* Also tried to list more items on ebay but keep having message saying I need to verify my paypal account, (its already verfied ) and I need to link my ebay acc to my paypal - but they are already linked!

Cant list anything else until its sorted, but dont know what else to do! Am waiting for a reply from ebay now. Why are things never simple?!! :rolleyes:

Must get back into swing of posting, have been SOOOO busy, not with DFW, just with life!
Am waiting for my pay to go in ( due tomorrow but usually appears late the night before - yay it's there) and keep checking online bank as I out in a claim for expenses which I hope will have cleared. I really hope so as we are going to have to fork out nearly a double ( gulp!) mortgage payment next month when we change lenders ( interest in advance as opposed to arrears). The expenses won't really go near what we need but will help psychologically! I have something saved up for Christmas and had hoped to clear one CC but that will have to wait I suppose. I thought we were getting a reasonable deal for the current climate, well I suppose we are, but hadn't worked out this silly interest difference grrrrr :mad:

Glad you've all had good days, envious of the baking sophiesmum!
