14/15/3/09 What small dfw things have you done today?? weekend thread

Cleosmum

Some good bargains this weekend! Got some england (footie) curtains for DS birthday next week reduced to £2.50 :j in Wilkos. Managed to get a psp game and 2 psp films for £20 at play.com and got £2 off with a code from a fellow MSEer :T . Still need to locate an england duvet cover, so far argos is cheapest, but still looking! Foodie bargains include teacakes for 13p and 2 pieces of line caught cod for £1.79.

Today I have:

• Meals from stores
• Taken dinner out of freezer for tomorrow
• Washed at 30 and mostly line dried, rest now on airer
• Housework and animal cleaning out for my mum
• Bit of shopping but stuck to my list
• Checked banking

I am just so exhausted after this weekend, I just havent stopped.....where are these relaxing weekends that I hear people mention

This coming week I am going to go for a car free mon to friday again, I wasnt sure it would work, but it was actually much easier than when I just jump in the car, cos you really organise what you are doing and when. I shall use the car to go shopping as its cheaper than getting it delivered and I like to check the reduced section for bargains.

Angelflower,,my OU course starts soon! Did you get your TMA in?!

Well done on getting the essay finished, bet your relieved. You can do distance learning with The Seed Institute. I'm not sure how it works or whether you may have to in at some points to see them, however they are based in Aldershot in Surrey, so not that far from London if you needed to access them as and when. I did my pregnancy and baby massage course with them and found them very good.

Forgot the link!! http://www.theseedinstitute.co.uk/
Sounds like you have a lot of studying on your hands already!!

Tallie, enjoy your currie!

Lurleene, well done on your car boot bargains

Marru, great news about the date, glad it went well and we look forward to the next installment

Fay, great news about the loan , its really going down quick

Cleosmum, i am with you on the car free weekday thing, sounds a lot simpler and more dfw. I have been thinking about doing something similair, plus it would prob be just as quick to get to work considering how long i get stuck in traffic

Talking about cars DS3 did turn up this afternoon and washed my car for me for free he also unloaded all the timber from it which is for my raised beds. I knew having 3 strapping sons would come in useful one day.

Just got the referencing to do but lost the will to live and need to get some sleep. Will definately finish tomorrow. Had to download a new template for the next TMA so did that. Also had a look at the sample exam paper and have terrified myself half to death. What courses are you doing? My new one starts in May so I will be finishing off my first course and starting my second at the same time. Bit worried about fitting it all in :cool:
