Morning everyone hope you are all well!

Definitely, find a livery yard Loki, but as Fay says make sure the manure is well rotted down before using it. If you'd like to pop round I'm sure my horse will be happy to donate....

Talking of horse, he has cost a lot of money this weekend, he went out and about Friday night, all documented in my diary if you're interested, and has hurt himself, poor lad. So I'll be getting a hefty vet bill and have had to buy two new locks for his stable coming in at a substantial £26.24 :eek:

So the rest of the month is going to be very tight!

On with the list...

• started a loaf in bm on timer
• bought in breakfast and lunch
• charge phone at work
• dinner from meal plan
• online banking and spreadsheet fright!
• update diary

see you later!

Hi all - is it really Monday again?!

I get paid on Friday so I'm at the scrag-end of the month moneywise and making use of all the food in the cupboards!
Was up until the early hours of the morning tranferring old VHS videos to DVD - the plan being to get rid of the videos and free up space in the hall cupboard for books (which take up way too much room elsewhere). Hours of entertainment too watching some old stuff!
Will be having the cheapest food in the canteen today - 35p for soup;
Will comp a bit later too.

I'll second (third!) the don't pay for it. I filled 10 rubble sacks with 3 year old horse poo last year and the stables were grateful for me to take it away. It's SO lovely when it's that age it doesn't smell and is a gorgeous colour & texture. (I think you have to be a gardener to appreciate it ) Don't put fresh stuff on your garden though, otherwise the healthy bacteria in the soil will work on the poo, not on your soil.

Anyway Morning All :hello:

Today I have/will

• get back in the swing of things, last week was chaotic and I bought lunch 3 times :eek: each time popping into a supermarket and buying other stuff too :eek:
• brought in lunch today. And if I'm prepared to eat soup and stollen everyday, there should be enough for the whole week.
• Aiming for a NSD, in fact apart from 20p at the AmDram company for coffee tomorrow I [STRIKE]could[/STRIKE] should manage a NSweek
• learn how to use my new remoska - I love baked potatoes, but the oven works out a very expensive way of cooking them.
• cancel my Graze membership (can't see a way of doing this on-line, so will have to e-mail them) and my Dad's Oldie subscription (Both Quidco bargains, but only if I cancel them.
• Cancel OH's Experian, no point in having it even, as it's my record that may or may not be damaged, but another Quidco trial.
• Done the washing hokey Cokey, all at 30, then airer dried and finished on the radiators. Showed DS2 that it's possible to get things dry overnight this way with NO hassle. (Except he'd have to get out of his bed to move it :rotfl: )

Have a good Monday everyone, even if you'd rather be in bed at this point - or is that just me?

See if the people offering manure have any empty feed bags or Alfa-A type bags they can let you have. Failing that, extra strong heavy duty extra large bin bags from supermarket would do I imagine
