  • Afternoon all

    Trying to get myself a bit organised today rather than going stircrazy like I have the past week! Will be able to get through to Mums today with Piglet as weather is gradually iimproving So I get to leave the house....wahey!!!

    So here goes......

    * PAD Pay some money to studio
    * Charge mobile at work
    * Washing hokey cokey - some at 30'c
    * Airer dry some but sheets will have to go in tumble - will wait till all washed and then tumble a full load
    * Storecupboard lunch and Tea
    * Do any surveys that come through
    * Heating off till gets too chilly
    * Do a "to do" list for rest of week

    Thats about it. Won't be a NSD as we need milk and bread but thats it hopefully (as long as I can resist the cajun squirrel crisps in the machine at work :o )

    Hi everyone

    Things today:

    Checked online banking - all fine. Moved some money to virtual sealed pot and also some to mortgage pot as sold a book on Amazon.

    NSD yesterday as we didn't do any of the things we had planned due to BFs hangover - so I went for a run instead! :T

    Made £30 on 4 records on Ebay yesterday so that is sitting in Paypal waiting to reach £50 threshold to avoid yet another fee.

    Brought in salad and snacks from home for lunch

    Going to cinema after work (free tickets with PT job) and haven't brought any tea in so am having cup a soup from desk now and will hold off to have salad at about 4pm. Should keep me going till I get home.

    Packaged up Ebay items but forgot to bring one with me, booo.


    I think that's everything - have lovely days everyone.

    Hi Everyone

    It's dull and grey outdoors and I want to crawl under the duvet!

    Seeing as I can't, I'll add my list here:
    • Try and get some ironing done
    • Check spreadsheets and work out how much I have paid off so far to update my signature.
    • Read one chapter of text book.
    • NSD - at least on food. Might need to buy an umbrella today.
    • Storecupboard dinner tonight.
    • Flylady task (haven't checked it yet but I hope its the bathroom as it desparately needs doing!)
    • clean bathroom if it is not a flylady task.
    I think that's enough for today

    Catch up with you all later.

    Something I've been meaning to ask, what are the free scratchcards a lot of you seem to do? Just point me in the direction of a thread explaining it if you don't have time yourself :)
