Fay, hope you get the tax disc sorted out, what a pain

Yorkshire belle, how awful, such a shame when you have set that well earned money aside for something else. Some people do some awful things.

sophiesmum, hope you weren't too late for work!!

Good morning everyone :hello:

It's lovely and sunny but chilly, so I have my ski socks on! - not that I've ever been skiing!

Seem to be going for some sort of record on the cold front, I've used andan's massage techniques and that helps a little, but I've still got a cold! oh well, could be worse...

Ouch Fay, will you be able to get a replacement from the post office?

Today I must sort out a new deal on contents insurance and phone old broker to tell them their offering is rubbish!

Other than that I will

• do the ironing
• make a loaf or rolls, haven't decided
• get petrol
• make storecupboard meals
• nick things off andan's list to make me look industrious

Morning!

At least it was light for dog walking this morning - a better start to the day than normal.
I budgeted £100 for the weekend away we've just had but came back with almost £40 intact:j that's this weeks spending money now (and hopefully next weekends as I'm not going out)

Today I have/will.....

• brought lunch to work
• will make soup and dumplings for tea from stuff in the fridge (yummy!)
• checked banks/cc/quidco
• done a couple of surveys
• sorted out budget for next 2 weeks
• will do a food plan for this week (already done this but it will need rejigging now) and next week
• sort out washing/ironing this evening
• look for a few Xmas pressies online to see how much I should be budgeting and possibly order a few of the small ones
• put 2 cheques in the bank on the way home

That's all for today - nothing earthshatteringly exciting I'm afraid.:rolleyes:

Yorkshire belle, that's terrible, what a horrid thing to do to your car, completely unnecessary. It's a real downer when you have to pay an unnecessary, unexpected expense.

Argh to folks who are bad and nasty

I am back to work after school holidays, um no heating, no computer until now etc - lol better resources at home!!

~Yorkshire_Belle~

Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts. Surprisingly the forensics team have just visited - but don't think there is anything useful to pick up! Am waiting for the repair people to ring to see if they have the right type of glass/window.
Good job I am on leave this week so can stay at home. Shame I am bound to the house though - DS's are starting to get restless and need to get out soon!
Nil carborundum etc etc

Morning All :hello: (only just )
Well DS1 has moved out of one place, into another, and has (as usual :rolleyes: ) deposited his excess baggage with us. So full is his room that last night he chose to sleep in DS2's room But because of that we have acquired Dolby Surround Sound for the Freecycle TV we have :j and a freeview box :j On the other hand, he's destroyed my NSD, because of a major muck up he needed a financial rescue, and to stay for the week. I hope this can be sorted in time for me to get tax disc at the end of the month though.

As for the rest. Today I have/will:

• contact aged p's to reschedule our visit as DS1 will need a lift next Sunday
• brought in lunch.
• will have to rethink food this week as now have a man to feed (unless he scuttles off to his gf.....:( )
• will do my spreadsheets tonight to work out finances.

Anyone got any advice for a quandary in which I find myself? I've recently done a MS for a Gym, and thoroughly enjoyed it, though it was a bit of a schlepp to the place. Now my colleague has found a real bargain membership of a local gym with an extra special offer if two join at the same time......do I join or not???? Will I keep it up? (I used to) Will I resent not clearing my debts whilst paying £30 a month?..... Have I turned into Scrooge?

Great idea.
Add "make a list", "Eat Chocolate" and "sparkle" and the list begins to resemble Andans (in length if not in application) :rotfl:
