Morning everyone.
i think i managed to do most things on my list yesterday. apart from the coursework which means i'll have to do double today! :mad:
ok so today:- Breakfast from home into work
- Lunch into work too (going to cafe to meet friend but will only have a coffee)
- Check Bank online
- Move more money into savings
- Take back new heart rate monitor as found my other one so happy!!
- Do 20 pages on each course! (should have done it yesterday - damn)

***Savings Challenge for 2012 = £3000***
MSE = :A0 -




I don't know what was in those sparkles yesterday SM but I've been like a whirling dervish so far today! THANK YOU!!
And thanks to everyone else for thinking of me - however did I manage anything before I discovered this thread ?
Have a confession to make - have bought a new bed and it's being delivered today! From savings of course. Old one was MILs spare room one which we inherited some time ago. It was a divan and the base has caved in - sadly not from too much action methinks more like the DSs bouncing on it


So I have
- moved old bed and mattress downstairs - bed to tip later and mattress on freecycle
- hoovered and tidied bedroom - found £1.25 for my 'pot'
- did front room while I was at it as DSs had been in there last night up to no good
- have got all ingredients ready to make Yorkshire Curd Tart and to pressure cook a ham but don't want to start till bed men have been ( before 12 they've said!)
- pesto and pinenut bread in BM
- 1st load of hokey cokey underway

- checked bank all OK and as expected
- checked 'The Paupers cookbook' (from library naturally) for interesting recipes
later I will
- cook - see above
- finish bed for sister & her DH
- more hokey cokey
- look at cheap but good ways to celebrate DHs (special) birthday which is coming up soon
- enjoy being at home with my lovely DSs and not being at w*rk!
See you all later

Morning you lovely lot
Today I will / have:
* drank free Crussh juice - for recycling my Londonpaper at the branch near work - didn't have juice at home this morning so saved there!
* checked online banking, work out next months payments to CCs for me and OH
* check on eBay - maybe reduce one of my fixed price listings
* microwave jacket potatoes for dinner, so I can finish them off in oven tonight - save gas!
That's about it for me! x0 -
Morning everyone.
Off to work an hour early today- unfortunately that doesn't mean any extra pennies as I don't get overtime, but I can finish an hour early tomorrow!Yay!
- [strike]Do Scratchies- Virgin - £1, TaB- 25p[/strike]
-[strike]Keep an eye on eBay sellers- a few watchers but no bids thus far[/strike] Sold two items today
-[strike]Storecupboard meals- just had brunch, roll to take to work and no idea what tea will be. Lots of free coffee throughout the day at work [/strike]
-[strike]NSD[/strike] :j
-Also looked out a couple of old uni books for a work colleague and listed four other books on Amazon
- As am at work till 9pm that will probably be my lot, spent hours doing some very interesting SoA planning last night- it was a big eye-opener. I had budgeted £150 per month for entertainment, cothes etc but this month so far we have spent over £500!:eek: That is a big difference, and that extra £350 odd should be going on debt. Time to tighten the purse strings me thinks!
Happy Thursday
