  • Good morning, you are all so busy.

    It was cold here first thing this morning, but it is now a lovely crisp day.

    So today I will post ebay item
    Check ebay I have 2 items finishing today.
    Photograph a couple more items to go on.
    Still have the "how to sell the books" dilema, so I have decided to pop into town tomorrow and see the man on the market, before I actually list them.
    I will tidy my office/conservatory/ironing room and show it my fluffy duster:rotfl:
    (how is that moneysaving you ask. Well if it isn't tidy i lose bills that need paying and stuff that needs doing.)
    I will check on-line banking
    Washing on airer/ under covered way outside
    I will do a little bit of ironing and put it away:eek:
    Dinner from freezer

    Have a lovely day folks:D

    Ps welcome Little Charlie


    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly
  • Hi all, well im on half term hols and determined not to spend money just cos i am home.

    So to help that:

    *No heating on, im dressed as if i were outside almost, don't want a huge bill just cos im not at work this week.

    *Both tvs are still off at the wall while i am on the pc (got assignment work to do later as well)

    *Microwave is turned off (never leave this on anymore, i have enough clocks in my house, dont need it to tell me the time)

    *Checked online banking and ebay

    *Soup again for lunch (quanity of tins is coming down, lol)

    *Car on driveway and is where it will stay all day today

    Good Afternoon All :hello:
    I only read yesterday, and wasn't able to post. And today due to a power cut (surge?) we've been without t'internet, followed by lots of "catching up" :o
    You've all been very busy, and I like to copy lots of ideas from this thread - microwave will be turned off when I get home :o

    Well after all your generous posting advice on Monday, and with the urging of OH, as from 1st November I'm a member of the local gym. :beer: Not only unlimited Gym/Spa/Classes/Swimming, but also when DD or OH are home they can have a 7 day guest pass. (3 per year) So as from next week, my list should include visiting the gym at least 3 times a week - nag me if it doesn't. :D

    Today I have/will:
    • brought in lunch HM bread & HM lentil soup. Tonights supper, from the freezer is HM meatballs :D
    • charged phone at work
    • really horrid weather last night, so I'll go to the old gym (3 days left) tonight, though this is prob my last visit before my MS assignment membership expires.
    • signed up for a MS on Friday - easy one done in my lunchtime. And I'll look for more.
    • Do on-line banking - and update signature I promise.
    • Pack up item sold on e-bay. Not yet paid, but there may be a cheque waiting for me at home.
    • Prepare more e-bay items for the 5p listing day.
    • A NSD :D
    hottie bottles to all you suffering this cold snap. And those of you on half term :p I'm envious cos I used to like getting my kids out in the snow for snowman making and the like. It's such cheap entertainment and such a special thing to do with them.:D

    Hot pot for 45 peeps is now sorted and I have peeled so many potatoes today that I have a blister on my peeling hand:rotfl: (56lb and another 10lbs of onions) but at least I can take it easy on Friday now as it is all prepared and waiting patiently in the freezer.

    Claireabelle - Good to see you posting again , have missed your posts since you moved into your new place. A month without drinking - what about all the free beer you keep winning at the pub quizzes?? :confused:
    fay - will miss hearing about your hide and seek coos:p
    Andan - holiday plans sound amazing, don't think I could do the cage diving with sharks though:eek:

    Hi to little charlie:D:wave: and welcome back to all our returnees:hello: :hello:.

    Was supposed to be going swimming tonight but friend who goes with me has a bad cold so will be giving it a miss, and staying nice and snug at home instead.I will be sorting out more xmas pressies and wrapping them etc:santa2: .

    Enjoy the rest of the evening everyone, hope you are all nice and warm;)
