Hello everyone!!!! get well soon sophiesmum and everyone else feeling poorly sick.

Well my boiler has decided not to work so have had no heating or hot water since last night, luckily have an electric shower and a decent kettle!!!!!!! thinking of the gas i am saving!!!!! so my list for today is:

• loaf in the bm
• puree some more fruit thats gone too soft for ds2
• have put tumble dryer on to get clothes dry due to no heating
• have got door open on the cupboard where my dryer is to get some heat in my living room
• make sure ds2 keeps his hat on!!!! (thinks its funny to take it off and chew it)
• go to friends for lunch after taking ds1 to nursery so free food and heating!!!
• tea made from odds and ends out the freezer ready for the freezer shop this weekend
• pray that my fella's friend (the plumber) turns up to sort my boiler out!!
• check ebay items and pray that something will sell
• daily scratchcards
• check email again to see if been accepted for virgin cc (0% till 2010!)

Right, am offto boil the kettle again so i can wash up, take care everyone!!!

Hi all

today is a bit of a spend day. £20 for farrier and wont even tell you how much the pup is costing!!

Did lots of figures last night and worked out I'm not sure we can afford a holiday this year which is very sad. We have NEVER had a holiday as a family and was really hoping to do one before my daughter gets to old that she will have left home. I was hoping to do a week in a caravan somewhere. If I book it online we have to pay for it all in one go which I cant do but if I book over the phone it will cost me an extra £30 but I can pay later. Do you advise I go for second option? I dont want them to sell out and I think it is a good buy, especially given the prices go up so much in the school holidays. If we go 2 weeks later the cost will more than double.

Anyway, onto my dfw stuff today....

- check online banking
- update standing orders to various accounts to reflect new budget
- brought lunch with me (although I feel Boots a calling - if I go, will use points and ask others if they want me to get for them so can get their points!)
- dont replace lounge bulb for a few days and live in darkness LOL save bit leccy
- dry washing on radiators
- make pad to credit card even though not end of month yet. They sent me a letter to say because I am such a valued customer, they are increasing my interest level to 34.9%!!!! Luckily it is a very low balance (£160 as I use just to keep credit rating good on one thing!) Going to get rid of it now at that level.
- file away paperwork.
- storecupboard tea
- free biscuits at work
- do some study at lunch time using work computers

Think thats me for today...will update as I go!

Am very grumpy today – work being a pain in the neck and just had a heated conversation on the phone about my fridge shelves – basically had the fridge was delivered in October and they said the shelves would be sent down in the next few days – im still waiting for them!! They said they sent them on Friday but they’re either lying or they sent them to the wrong address cos I don’t have them – they said to phone back on Monday. But it was their tone that got to me – they sounded annoyed at me for chadsing them up!!! Err hello!! Ive been waiting for 3 months for these shelves and my fridge looks a mess cos I cant stack anything in it! grrrrrr I need a punch bag to take it out on, unfortunately the nearest thing I have to a punch bag is my work colleagues – so they’d better leave me alone – at least for 20 mins!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully this thread will make me smile again!! Anyway today wont be very DFW as im going to TGI firdays (heaven) after the cinema (paid for already) but its nice cos its mine and the OH ‘date night’ where we go for a movie and a meal and basically go for a date – lovely.

Anyway 3 weeks today and Ill be going to spain for a mini break over valentines day – a ryanair cheapy, so cant complain. And 11 weeks today will be my wedding day!!! hope the weather isn’t like this though!

Hi, my first time on this thread, so be gentle with me, lol

My aims are:

• checked online banking – was very scary, need to start Quidco’ing and work out daily scratches and the like, with my ex suddenly withdrawing maintenance due to his financial status, I’m overdrawn *sob*
• look into making a CSA claim due to the above!
• update spreadsheets
• storecupboard meals
• pack up laundry to take to parents' this weekend to wash and dry as my machine is packing up (new one being delivered in a fortnight)
• Have a LSD –will use M&$ tokens for ‘free’ lunch as am working in London today
• Enjoy relaxing on sofa reading a book tonight J
• Earn £16 mileage for working in different location today
• Catch up on diaries
• Make up a meal plan for the week and shopping list (need to check OS to get some ideas, as DD turns her nose up at everything bar a "packed lunch"!)
• Work with DD to make a birthday card for mum’s 60th this weekend
