Hey, me again.

I've realised how sporadic I am becoming in these posts... At least the diary is being kept going.

Today I have will
- Update MSE diary
- start clearing out the cupboard in the kitchen so that the double glazing man can measure in there (there is a window, I'm not jsut crazy)
(*groan* - that is not going to be easy)
- washing at 30
- sparkle
- work hard at work and try not to get caught skiving on here...
- Samaritans shift tonight
- check online banking


If there is more I'll add later.

KT.

ps. ((hugs)) to those who need them

Morning all (just!) - I'm so bad - late again!! My aim in life is to be on page one of this post!

Being so lazy this morning, hoping that is I post my list on here it'll actually spur me on to do some of it!

So, here goes:

• telephone dentist for OH
• clear all paerwork from desk and file accordingly
• visit bank and move money to bills account
• tidy living room and make puppy friendly for this afternoon - ie no paper/food/anything that can be reached and eaten by FIL's new puppy!
• pay in cheque into other bank
• go to local fire shop and try to get fire fixed (again!)
• reach £15 overall total in SLP
• clear out old food to make room for this weeks shopping
• money in sealed pot - it's nearly full, so will also have to look for a new pot to start on!
• 3 loads of laundry to wash and dry on airers
• strip bed and wash sheets - dog went out in rain yesterday, came home and jumped straight onto the bed - big awprints everywhere!! :mad:
• write 2 new surveys
• apply for 3 jobs in the newspaper
• visit next town, on train, to have a look for jobs up there
• half an hours exercise on Wii Fit :rolleyes:
• daily scratch card
• tackle ironing pile
• lunch and dinner tonight from cupboards
• telephone about free trip to 5 star lodges - if I don't phone soon I'll lose out, must stop putting it off
• go up to mum and dads house after tea to fill in forms

That's all for just now guys, hope everyone has a great Monday!!

Hey everybody – heard today is officially the most depressing day of the year – due mainly to xmas credit card bills landing on doorsteps today – I intend to buck the trend and be happy and sparkly all day! who’s with me?

Today I will –

• Online banking
• No socks but have shiny purple high heels which are just as good
• Daily scratchcard
• Get refund for a magazine subscription for December that never showed up
• Cancel free trial of internet on mobile
• Try to bid on another chicken coup as the last one was out of my price range
• Do low spend food shopping, make a list and stick to it
• Storecupboard breakfast, lunch and tea – have liberated a muller light that’s BBD was 2 days ago
• Put breakfast bar/worktop on bulletin board at work and try to flog it! – done!
• Take back library DVD before it needs renewing again
• Find cheap petrol locally and fill up
• Hopefully find out when the next release date of battery chickens are so that I can put my name down for 4 – not very DFW initially but hopefully they will pay for themselves in eggs and fun and warm fuzzy feelings of love for them
• Free stress release by giving cat a long belly rub when I get home from work
• 25 mins extra flexi time at work to save up for holiday in 3 weeks time
• Just seen fox outside the window at work bless him! Looked at bit old and manky though, hopefully the weather will warm up for him so he can soak up some sunshine
• Having Chinese for the football tonight – is tradition but may be a bit more DFW and split the portion so I can have half tonight and half for lunch tomorrow

I work in an office and always find myself snacking from the vending machine...not healthy OR cheap!

I recently read a survey that claims that people are losing the ability to distinguish hunger and thirst.. so half the time when you feel peckish and eat a snack you were probably just thirsty.

So just now when i was thinking i may get a bag of crisps I had a swig of water from the bottle on my desk. So that saved me 40p! (and possibly a bit of weight gain!).

Thats what I have done for today, and now i'm off to check my internet banking

:beer:

poppy_f1

today i have so far
checked online banking
paid in cash to the bank (285 went in)
also paid in a cheque for 4.50 (found last night was sent it in sept from selling a old mobile)
paid that 285 to one of my CC's

mum bought me a sandwich at lunchtime so cash saved, and as i was quick in the bank nipped home and also filled up my juice bottle so so far today i have not yet spent any money

Afternoon all!

Just quickly popping in as actually have a few moments to myself. Fayjmk Sorry to hear you have a poorly little one. Mines under the weather too, Nursie thinks he has tonillitis but as he wouldn't open his mouth to let her look she's not sure! Given him antibiotics anyway - lets hope they perk him up!
KTJazz Know what you mean about the sporadic posting - I'm finding it difficult to get on here lately!

Anyway...heres todays efforts:

* Storecupboard Tea
* Check on-line banking :eek:
* Pay a Bill
* Heating on low to keep poorly boy warm
* Washing hokey cokey at 30'c
* Do some money juggling to get through rest of month!
*

Thats about it today!

Just read my electricity meter - OMG how could we be so rubbish at managing it???? need up DD to cover the deficit - underpaying by almost 1/2
Removing nice lovely plug in radiator from lodgers room replacing with halogen blinding heater which is half the cost p/hr (and he cant leave on all night )
Lunch is left over beans
Looking at getting refund from hoover which is rubbish and keeps breaking - grrrrrr
Laundry hokey cokey again I guess as I am at home
Text pal and find out when she is working at airport next cos my car is stuck there - couldnt take OH to airport as DD sick and Taxi is too pricey.
Think up ways to reduce electricity.
Make list to clean up kitchen etc for new lodger person coming so she doesn't have to cook in squallor!
Split up veggie seeds as have now located (hopefully!!) all of them.....

Hope all folks feeling sick are better.

DD is indeed a mini power station - temp not down - no rash - nothing sore - she's just mega hot - she's had a shower so she's feeling a bit more cool - poor thing. 12 going on 4 at the moment all nested up on the sofa like a tiiny cute thing. Poor thing x
