    Evening all. I've been quite busy today:

    Rang my mobile company regarding my mysterious cancelled direct debit that had caused my bill to go unpaid! Actually got an English person on phone who was lovely and set it up again!

    Checked online bank account

    Photocopied ID to send to bank so they will open a savings account for me

    As a new DFW I hadn't signed up for most of the survey sites so joined onepoll and did a few surveys and got 25p and a £2.50 joining bonus!

    Did my daily scratchcard and got 20p

    Made a list of presents I need in the next few months and had a look on ebay- I've sold a few things and have £50 on paypal account so I'm going to use it for the presents!

    Saved some money by doing all this in bed so didn't have to turn on the heating :cheesy:

    Also going to see OH later but have decided to walk and get him to leave me home- exercise will do me good and my fuel budget will stretch a bit further lol! Must remember to put the hi vis on!

    Yorkshire belle - I am half Welsh so I guess that makes Pip a quarter Welsh, He was made in Ireland and lives in England so may be a bit of a confusing time for him!!!

    Hi everyone :wave:

    :eek: :eek: :eek: Sophies Mum! Sorry to hear about your stressful night. Hope you catch up on your rest today!

    Didn't manage to post yesterday - went food shopping, did a trawl of the charity shops in the snow and ice (bought 2 books), then went home and got caught up with weekend papers and cooking a large shepherds pie!

    Today I will:
    Cook breakfast for OH and I - Sunday treat, and use some eggs from my chooks!
    Check online banking
    See to animals
    DD and her BF over for supper, so do a nice roast (whoopsied meat from the freezer - outdoor reared pork, and kale from the garden if I can find it under the snow :T )
    Put small change from yesterday into piggy bank. I find 1p, 2p and 5p coins really annoying in my purse, especially those horrid little 5ps, but they do mount up if you save them :D
    Finish cleaning grotty house
    Make some soup for lunches at work for part of the week.

    Have a nice day everyone:j
