Morning all! double socks here today, thick frost on the ground and I have a horse to see (actually complete thermals ankle to neck as well, do not want lurgy back!)
Not much today as the banking won't update until tomorrow, but I did do all the paperwork yesterday :j ghastly job! Will be making muffins out of the remaining soft fruit and will put a loaf on shortly. All meals from fridge and cupboard.
See you all later when I've defrosted....

Morning all..............
No point checking the banking until after 12 noon, the pensions go in then.
NSD.....not going out except to get OH out for a short walk, no where near the shops!!!
I did slip a bit, after having a hard drive failure a couple of months ago, I decided to get an external hard drive to back up all my important stuff and embroidery designs. I do transfer to CD's but I was advised by a very good friend that an EHD was a good idea, I got one with the same GB's as the disc in the lap top for £39.00........
I was not going to put fuel in the car this month, but I noticed that Mr T's desiel was down to 97.99 so as the tank is just under half full, will put £13's worth in when I go shopping.
I usually allow £26 for fuel, so the spare £13 is going to pay off my OD.......which I hope will be cleared by the middle of the year, Then I will get the bank to reduce it......I get the first £250 without charges, unless they change it, so will ask them to cut it to £750 'just in case'.
Ofsy for now, not read the forum yet will do when I get back from our walk.Was 13st 8 lbs,Now 12st 11 Lost 10 1/4lbs since I started on my diet.0 -
Morning all - nice and sunny and frosty here up north!
Today I will/have....- Walked dog for free exercise
- Use up leftovers for meals
- Checked banks - nothing happening as they're not open!
- Tidy house - mostly done yesterday after the clan went home but still some bits to do
- Write a meal plan to see us through to next weekend and the first big shop of the year
- Do budget to last until pay day - done (not too bad surprisingly - approx £300 left after all bills etc paid and £400 stashed to pay off as extras - not sure how I've done it!)
- Sort out wardrobe - need to make some room by donating stuff that's been ignored for the past year to the charity shop
- Start "Dog Whispering" - pooch is currently asleep after his walk but I had the book for Xmas and he's not going to know what's hit him!
- Think about diet food for the new year and start by collecting together some low cost recipes and writing a shopping list
Doesn't feel like a Sunday!
