Have a good day all!

Morning everyone! I'm feeling glum today - i've taken the day as annual leave and its payday so I should be in a good mood. But every single pound is accounted for...and its a five week month....just seems never ending
Still, I have my multi coloured socks on today so will try my hardest to sparkle...a cup of tea might help too!

Today I have

• Been paid
• Fine-tuned budget
• Checked online banking
• Paid £100 off c/c
• Reduced o/d by £100
• Been shopping - and stuck to my £40 budget:j
• Been back to doctors again...spent £14.20 on new prescription but hopefully this will be the right medication for me
• Organised my envelopes for weekly petrol

And I will

• Visit my friend and her little 'un...have a free lunch round there
• Tidy, hoover etc upstairs and down
• Washing at 30 then use clothes airer
• Fill in the puzzle section of one of my trashy mags...send it off and cross fingers I'll win some money!
• Look on freecycle
• Feed tortoise free cabbage
• Go round mum and dads for meal tonight...I'll drive there and OH can drive back so I can have a few glassess of wine!

Oooo, my long-ish list is already making me feel better!

MrsAudus, it is amazing the therapeutic value of a list isn't it? Hope you're feeling more cheerful soon.

On the sock issue, I bulk bought grey themed woolly socks* a good while back, and this week every single day I have managed to put on a not-quite matching pair, I must have paired socks in the dark, put them on in the dark, and only discovered when changing at the gym :rotfl: :rotfl:

*Dull really. Really Dull

Pay gardener and cancel him for the winter (not looking forward to it as he must be skint too)
Not spend unnecessary money
Have announced that I am staying in this weekend and having a rest (been very busy lately) and so will spend the time cooking, catching up on missed telly, walking the dog and not spending money!
Will have lunch from what's left over in the fridge when I get home and a freezer tea

Thats it for now
Have a happy Friday!

hello again everyone!

I'm so glad the grown ups are back!

I'm off work today, I still have to drive the 40miles (and back) to pick up my friend and bring them back to see the play tonight.

It was amazing last night. I'm not surprised, I'd heard nothing but good reports but it was something really special. That doesn't mean it was easy to watch though. there are some parts of some plays that are a nightmare for the girlfriends (or boyfriends) of the actors to watch. It is so difficult for people to understand what it is like to watch the person you love (legitimately) kissing someone else. However fake you know it is...

Anyway, I'll stop rambling and get on with it.

Today I have/will

- probably forget about money saving completely

Morning all

I love the sparkly phrase you are all using ! I am going to try my hardest to look sparkly today too

Well today I have

• checked online banking
• made £1 payments each to my cc, catalogue, and savings acc :beer:

I need to and I will

• pay money in at bank to cover payments due
• go to asda and do a shop to cover the weekend and the first few days of the week, and not spend my money in the local but rip off londis :mad:
• get petrol at tesco for the points

Thats all I can think of at the mo, my little one has a cold, so doubt we will be doing much this weekend, as she has an op in 5 weeks and I want to make sure she is 100%

Glad it went well for you KT, I can't imagine what it feels like to see your boyfriend pretend kissing someone else, very strange. When I found out my ex had not been pretending to kiss someone, I cleaned the toilet bowl with his toothbrush, amongst other things

I have loads of black socks but never a pair, I know where you're coming from Olive. I frequently find myself wearing an ankle grabber and a saggy calf slider. Moan about it all day and still don't get round to pairing the socks up properly :rotfl::rotfl:

Good morning, can I join this thread please, I am in dire need of inspiration!

DFW things I have/am doing today:

Made DD take a packed lunch despite her request for school dinner (feel bad about this as she had already arranged with her friend:o !)

Brought a packed lunch for myself

Brought in old magazines from Sunday papers (donated by my MSE friend) instead of buying a new one
Check bank balance - dreading this in a BIG way :eek:

Meal plan for the week

Make shopping list for tomorrow's grocery shop

Start listing books on greenmetropolis

Start turbo listing on ebay ready for free listing day (99p start) this weekend

Update my CV so I can try and get an extra job

Try and be sparkly although not feeling much like it at the mo' - mind you it IS Friday!!:T

having a very sparkly day!! wearing my long stripey socks under black trousers and boots!!

:xmastree: went to my elf interview and it sounds like fun! was asked if i would like to be elf supervisor!!! will have to wait to hear back from them though - please could everyone keep fingers (and stripey toes) crossed for me :A

so apart from that i am now home and have one hour before going for my lunch at mums and hairdressers at college... - only £5 (had budgeted £10 :j )

today i plan to:
- not have takeaway tonight - will have a look in freezer for shep pie that i batch cooked ages ago - forgot :eek: . oh wants to treat us to takeaway... do i let him?? very tempted..
- oh took pack up with him for lunch - and left lunchbox at work. BUT it was because he was excited about getting work uniform (free clothes :j :j )
- free lunch at mums - and lift to college and back
- ask mum if i can have the washable runner mat for my hall (she got a new one) - she is using it by cat flap - but i did get free apples and free printing paper
- watch dvd from blockbuster trial - free entertainment :T
- make popcorn for cheap munchies
- scan docs for new car reg so i get paid £200 :j :j :j - done - now got to wait for cheque
- make soup out of cheapy carrots and parsnips that have gone 'bendy'...
- try wine that i got from mr m's. it is in a big tetra pack thingy so worked out cheaper than a bottle and no glass to recycle (but must be careful and only have some of it!!!!) - having a glass now for celebration of sucessful day (make note to self to eat BIG dinner to reduce hangover!)

tomorrow depending on hangover i will get new plates for car (saw dad and he is getting me some when he gets his next week so should get trade discount) and go to local butchers. have spoken to oh and he needs a new belt for work trousers so will see if i can sneak a stripey / sparkly sock purchase in on his shopping!
