    Morning all, I'm made up with a heavy cold today feeling cold and fedup so no work for me today.

    Today I will;

    Keep wrapped up warm in blankets and not put the heating on until later (despite wanting to now!) (done)
    Had toast made from 1st HM loaf from breadmaker. It is gluten fee and is ok for the first loaf, I was surprised it turned out ok apart from the paddle getting stuck in the loaf!
    Have HM soup defrosted in fridge for lunch
    Write up meal plan for the week using storcupboard ingredients and 'feed your family for a fiver' recipe thread which I cut and pasted last week for ideas, and do 14 days if can manage it (done!)
    Check washing drying on airer and see if there is room for anymore (no room yet)
    Have done 2 free scratchies
    Keep checking for surveys (done, none!)
    Make M+S cc payment (done!)
    Have HM hot choccie in a bit to feel better (made)
    Keep fluffy socks on to keep warm (still on!)
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333

    Hello all ! Hope you all had great christmases and new years. My christmas was great but NEW year was terrible - mum had a stroke and we are still trying to sort out proper care for her as she can't walk properly or get up from her chair. So that's not a good way to start 2009.

    Anyway, today Iam back at work ARRRGGGHHH but have:

    Bought a packed lunch
    Ate breakfast at home
    Have my own teabags so tea is free here
    will check online banking etc
    surveys and polls
    Debt cleared! [strike]£13,128[/strike] £0!!!
    Saving for maternity leave: £3,300/£3500
