Monday 20/10/08 What small dfw things have you done today???

KTjazz

Hello everyone,

I didn't make it in yesterday. I had a very very strange weekend (watching OH legitimately kissing two other people not withstanding...)

As of next week I go on the phones as a trained Samaritan. I'm terrified but looking forward to it too.

I had my first two day hangover (guess this is officially my mid-twenties now...) Older friends warned me about them...

So, today I have/will

- [strike]check the bank and panic[/strike]
- [strike]find a NS way to celebrate getting a pay rise!![/strike]
- Aiming for NSD (oops, forgot I had to pay someone back £6 for my Avon order)
- [STRIKE]use gym membership[/STRIKE]
- getting my homework done (been putting it off)
- tidy kitchen
- [strike]keep working hard so they don't take my payrise away[/strike]

I hope everyone is as well as can be expected

ps. my socks are red with skulls on...

Morning all,

Well after buying a few Christmas presents at the weekend, hopefully today will be a NSD for me!
Shall/have also:
• Brought breakfast & lunch to work
• Having lasagne donated by my lovely parents :Afor tea tonight
• Paying in £20 (also given to me by my parents:A:A) into bank account so not overdrawn this month.
• Taking faulty lamp back to B&Q for a refund!
• Sort Christmas presents bought at weekend and see who I have left to buy for
• Ordered another voucher from Pigsback as Christmas pressie
• Someone coming to view sofas for sale tonight so hopefully they buy them!
• Wash on eco setting tonight
• Check online banking

Also found out me & hubby are getting backpay for payrise from last April in next month's wages so some of that will be saved for new sofas, and some to pay for our new passports we need. Any left over will go towards Christmas and credit card overpayments! Woo hoo! :j

Have a great DFW day everyone xx

Good afternoon Sophiesmum and everyone else!

Haven't joined the sock revolution yet - have trouble finding a pair that match, let alone a sparkly pair! Will do my best tomorrow

Bit late on here today - have forbid myself from turning computer on till after lunch when little boy in bed. So have been quite productive today!

* Made batch of cakes using leftover fruit etc in cupboard (cranberry and vanilla - for my Mum and Dad to say thanks for cheering me up the weekend)
Was meant to do this yesterday but didn't get round to it.

* Stripped and washed bed-clothes first thing so drying on airer. Will take forever though so may need to use the tumble drier

* NSD today - yippee

* Post ebay parcels

* Had rebate from BT - £38 so that will pay for my connection to talk talk broadband! Wahey!!

Have good Mondays all

Morning all, good luck witht ehe job loki.

Fay, if its any concelation i am feeling a bit that way today. Have this five thousand word assignment that we got just over a week to do in, and i know i won't have it completed by Wednedsay and am a bit angry that they expect us to do it within that time frame. I'm going to work on it, but am going to accept i wont get it done in time, nor do i feel i should!!

Today is likely to be a quality list rather than quantity!!
-I have been to college, all part of my learning and development and future career progression
-Left the car there, so got free parking, whilst i went and did a bit of shopping!
-Posted ebay parcels at post office
-Paid remaining amount off credit card, Sainsbury's was complaining at me because i hadn't paid off my last remaining 7p, but my bank wouldn't let me do it online as it was too small, so had to do it in the branch!!
-Picked up some bargains at the shop
-Sorted out and put away massage towels
-Lunch from storecupboard, seeing as boyf didn't do tea last night, he can do it today!!
-Will sort through emails
-Will do any surveys
-Will do ethical considerations for two case studies, so around one thousand words!!
-Will do practical cosiderations for two case studies, so around another one thousand words!!
-Do daily clicks
-Go on site for more business advice
-Used clubcard when paying for petrol, was rather pleased as i am always forgetting to do this one!!
-Use rowing machine for free exercise
-Check on ebay for my trainers!!
-Check on free cycle for free things
-Check online banking
-Fill in bursary form, so i can get my nvq course paid for
-Sort out some bits and pieces for my actual job
-Check ebay for pre blended oils
-Put money in payment a day pig
-Update spreadsheet
-Update challenge

-Input in site

Think thats it for me so far, have a great day everyone.

Thanks Andan

My literature review is so very much overdue, I have no real timescale, its just supposed to have been done at the start of the year, but I was so bogged down in the field work, I didn't get it done, giving myself this week to really focus and get butt in gear!!

Just opened a nice letter from the tax credit folk telling me of the underpayment that is due to me (the one they paid me then took back!!!) Nice to see them being so efficient - lol

Sun is shining, younglings playing on the Wii and generally leaving me to it so all good.
Home made soup on using up a plethera of left overs 'soup surprise'
Line dry linen??
Got DS birthday pressie through quidco - woo hoo

PS my milkman is now delivering us (without being asked) low fat milk, is this a hint???

Having asked for full fat, not sure to be grateful he is thinking about my health or making a statement regarding my need to get back into the clothes that (ahem) use to fit me; therefore aiding my moneysaving by allowing me to wear them again!

update on milkman situation - still no milk :eek: :eek: . made sure i didn't buy any yesterday as was expecting 3 pints today... checked the e-mail confirmation they sent me and i havent got it wrong... going out to get some soon as oh will go nuts if he has to have black coffee when he gets home..

further update... e-mailed the hq and they replied to say that they have asked the local depot to contact me...

off out now (in rain) to get morrisons petrol (cheapest) and drop off some avon books

will also purchase some milk!

fayjmck - i have to have full fat on cereal but dont mind semi in my tea (oh would have full fat for everything but i dont let him!!). i have also noticed that yorkshire puds dont come out quite the same when made with semi skimmed

My work has gone from having semi-skimmed to skimmed this week... I'm thinking they're trying to tell us something too...
