    Afternoon all -I'm late today due to a "fascinating" meeting about risk assessment and health and safety at work.....I'm awake again now though!!

    Today I will/have.....
    • Brought lunch to work
    • Freezer tea to use stuff up as OH is playing footie and doesn't need feeding
    • Checked banks/quidco/cc etc
    • Do any surveys that turn up
    • Perhaps have a look at doing a Mr S shop using a voucher for £10 off to be delivered when I get back from India with work - didn't manage this yesterday
    • Walk doggie for free exercise
    • Clean bathrooms - was lazy and couldn't be ar*ed yesterday
    • Try to eek petrol out until Friday
    • Only put heating on if its cold - not out of habit
    • May think about doing a budget for next month's pay but its a week too soon (not pay day until next Friday)
    Not very exciting stuff today I'm afraid.
    Have a good one!

    Hello everyone,

    I'm training someone so will have to be straight in and out.

    Today I have/will

    - been thinking about how on earth I am going to get another job (not necessarily better paid but definately better for my mental health...)
    - I have checked online banking
    - I have overpaid my credit card
    - I have been training someone to do the main part of my job with me, so if I do leave I can do so guilt free.
    - I will do all the tidying up that didn't get done from yesterdays list
    - I will go to orchestra (less electricity at home)
    - I will pay my orchestra fees (£33)
    - store cupboard meals (apart from one 40p bag of crisps for my rolls...)

    Oh I thought youd all want to know that I got to take a couple of calls during last nights Samaritans shift. I feel like a proper Samaritan now!

    I best get back to my trainee.

    KTjazz.
    :hello: - Proud to be dealing with my debts!:j DFW nerd No. 1011!
    I'm back, and this time I mean business!
    If you need to talk to someone confidentially call Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 or email jo@samaritans.org
    My heart knows me better than I know myself so I'm going to let it do all the talking.

    Afternoon all

    Just a quick update. Manged to find some bargain boots in matalan for £14! Well chuffed with that. Other than that have been stuck indoors with little one as he is quite poorly with his cough....he has a low gag reflex so heaves at the slightest opportunity. Hence I've been on sick clearing duties.

    Kept him home from Nursery today but will still have to pay fees (ggrr!!) and I will be an hour late for work as have to wait for OH to get home.

    So not really a DFW friendly day today. Shall have to try and make up for it tomorrow :sad:

    Miss P
