Hi all

Got to admit that today and probably this week are going to be quite laid back. Baby is nearly a week overdue (tomorrow) and not keen on going far from the house understandably!

Today I have:

• done a shop using shopping list and rough menu planner, came in at £41, and that's good averaging out over the month, have a current budget of £200 but hoping to slice around £20 off in the next couple of months by being more stringent!
• made packed lunches for OH and DD1 at work/school respectively for tomorrow - organised or what!:T:T:T

In a minute I will:

• check online banking - think have final bank charges of the month to come out today

Later on I might (depending on level of tiredness!) :

• make HM brownies after DD1 gets home from school.

Have been finding have been setting myself too many targets then feeling disappointed when I don't manage them all, so ticking off the easy things each day then adding one that might stretch me a bit more - and think shopping has done me in! Planning an online one for next week - am assuming baby will be here but never can tell! - so thinking ahead to be organised!

MrsA that list rivals Andan!!!:rotfl:

Well I am NOT happy today as my car has just cost me £200:eek:
In the end they couldnt just fit a new mirror they had to give me a whole new casing too, so not impressed.:mad:
Even less impressed as OH car is costing us £500 on Thursday, £700 in one week on cars, its obscene :mad:

Little Pip is still poorly so I have spent all day covered in snot and sick (sorry to be graphic!!) The joys of motherhood!!

Today I have/will:

• Unpack my Approved foods delivery and try and find homes for it all (it didnt look that much as words on the internet!!:rotfl:)
• Daily Scratch
• Try and find odd bits of wool so I can knit some squares to send to Soweto from the Wooligans thread.
• More washing hokey cokey, will it ever end?
• Belly pork in yorkshire for tea, only cost £2 for the whole meal!!
• Keep heating on low, wont ned it on much as the heat from me fuming about car should keep me warm!!
• Ensure I only put TV on if I am watching it not just for background noise
• Put paper and card out for recycling
• Check my Ebay listings, nope nothing

Enjoy your Day all x x

Late posting today because I started work really early. It is great to hear everyone's news - congratulations on the new house, Bathgatebuyer, hope it all works out ok. And good luck with your course Tallie, now that you have definitely decided to do it.

Today I have:

Worked all day, just finished, lots of silly muddles to sort out :rolleyes:
HM breakfast before I left, took lunch to work. Made my own coffee at work, to avoid buying (I am an addict :eek: )
Posted book sold on Green Metropolis
Small change to piggybank
Walked dogs for free exercise - also rushed about all day - if life was fair I would be thinner!
Tea from stores in oven
Collapsing with a glass of wine - not MS, but I deserve it today!

Have a nice evening everyone :j

Been away for a while and things were going great. I hadnt increased my debts at all and had comfortably carried on chipping away at the debts I had. My dog became ill last week and with no insurance I have now increased my debt by £656. The PDSA have kindly agreed to pay £200 and my step mum has said she will pay the rest, and whilst thats very kind, I will have to pay her back, couldnt live with myself if I let her pay it and didnt! Sooo Im here, now jobless and stuck with signing on (when they sort it!), so now I am finding it difficult to pay things off as I was, which set the alarm bells ringing. I also need to reign in my spending, its spiralled right out of control.

Plan of attack:
Do an updated SOA and see how much I should have left over each month.
Do a store cupboard challenge this week.
Start having some NSD.
Bake some goodies for lunch boxes.
Start planning my days so that I can walk rather than jumping in the car! Good practice as I have no car from beg. of may and no realistic way of affording one right now!
Post here to keep me focussed each day.
Get ready for the grocery challenge from 1st march.

Today I have:

• Meals from stores
• Checked banking

And I will:

• Bake cakes for lunch boxes
• Get an early night so that tomorrow I can tackle some stuff head on!
