ragstoricheswannabe

good morning everyone, it is snowing here but not the 20cm's that were predicted!!!!

my little ones have caught the cold thats doing the rounds so my living room now stinks of karvol and vapour rub!! am trying to dodge the cough and sneezes as really dont want it, nothing worse than feeling rotten and still having to do everything!!

my small list for today is:

• make a loaf in breadmaker
• sort washing out
• clean bedrooms, (cleaned bathroom last night after shower whilst i waited to dry, way to cold to leave the bathroom in just a towel!)
• check for surveys and join quidco after reading good stuff about it in here
• put £2.50 in sealed pot from saving i managed to make buying coffee with my mum (buy 2 for so much)
• figure out how to clean my oven the old style way and hope it works

thats it from me, not checking bank balance as its not good this week, but oh gets paid tomorrow so fingers crossed he gets paid the overtime.

have a good day everyone,
rags to riches wannabe

Hello everyone,

good people I can talk to!

I have gone to work today but really shouldn't have. I have very little voice as it hurts like hell to talk. and coaghing leads to a burning throat and lungs. the sooner I am over this the better.

todays list

- check banking
- check mobile phone spend
- use box of tissues at work
- washing at 30
- clean and tidy kitchen
- clean and tidy living room
- clean and tidy bedroom

I think that is all, looks short but that will all take quite a while I think. if I do more I can add to my list later.

ps. I can't stop giggling about the sock infestation... but laughing hurts! please stop making me laugh!!!

Made a snooty-sounding frittata from leftovers for a hearty breakfast:
Eggs, red and white onions, garlic and chilli, gruyere, potatoes and parmesan This did two people for a big breakfast and there's still a slice left for tomorrow!

We got a nice surprise after moving house (Council Tax DDs will start in January), so paid some of the 'free' money towards what I owe mg GF (now less than £100!)

Checked that my cashbacks for a few Quidco things had tracked ok.

Checked interest rates on savings accounts (although this just annoyed me

Nowt for me - cheap lunch at work and that's about it.
Oh, doing my washing tonight at 30 degrees, walking back home tonight and that's about it.

A poor show!

Not much for me today, eating food at home (fishcakes, beans, chips sounds good). Waiting for postie before doing milk/bread/cat food run at tesco's. No heating on as yet but fleecy clothes make up for it. I'm not cold. Still working on website, I have things planned in my head and they starting to come together slowly

Ok BGB
- you have walked to work, saving money, co2 and getting free exercise.
Accessing cheap lunch at work, saving electricity etc
Walking back home, see the first comment well done you
And then doing a low heat wash................thats not exactly nothing is it???? Nor is it a poor show! - small steps remember!!

Rachel sparkling is what counts

KT hope you feel better - Edinburger - yum!

I walked to work (admittedly the snow had a hand in that one!) And I'm just generally trying to stay out of mischief! Have had to buy food today as I was carrying so much to work (change of clothes and shoes!) I had no room in my bag for food! Still, it's the first time in a month!

KT sorry.................:D

Don't you get them too? Or is it just an Orkney thing? I seem to remember we have always been blessed by the infestation of the sock - each room usually has a mutant run away brigade........stripes, spots, flowers, socks of a single colour (we have a few not to be sockist) we once had a sock hunt.

Actually thats a lie, we have regular sock hunts - on to sock hunt no 13 in the MCKGRANT household.

Principle of a sock hunt is to rid the deviant socks of the notion that escape is possible by repairing htem with their very lonely (right footed) partners.

2p a sock for a single sock found and brought back to the pound (generally an ikea bag)
5p for a pair of socks gratefully reunited with each other

Kids LOVE it - (quite like it myself) everyone dashes aroudn the house, no drawer unrumpled, no sofa safe - at the end of a good hunt we generally fill an ikea bag with socks, the actual event is similar to carnage but its great fun and the socks appreciate the effort that is put into seeking out their long lost renegade partners. Think that those with bad sock infestations should have a go.

How do you know if you have a bad sock infestation?
Look at your odd sock stash (we ALL have one)
- no odd socks (no infestation), (hmm yeah right.....)
- a few (probably nothing to worry about but keep an eye)
- many (oh dear),
- humungous amounts of odd socks (you have a problem seek immediate help),
- more odd socks than pairs (have a SOCK HUNT immediately!!!!)

Go forth and have fun, free exercise, moneysaving as you find your socks, keep warm, have a laugh and use up your 2p's as payment to you best sock hunters.

I am writing a report - WHAT do you expect from me???? Sense?
