    Hi all!

    Glad it's nearly weekend!

    Today I have/will:
    * made packed lunch for OH and myself (leftover veg soup for me from mass pre-move freezer clear out!)
    * cupboard dinner (an old Fishermans pie from the freezer, frozen veg
    * free juice on way to work from Crussh for recycling newspaper (wouldn't have paid for one anyway, but saved drinking the juice at home so that will last longer!)
    * check for Argos money off codes before ordering TV unit

    Have a lovely day all xx

    Late today!
    Left for work really early and have already had 2 meetings:eek:

    So far I have:
    Got up REALLY early
    HM breakfast,packed lunch for work
    Washing at 30 degrees, and 2 loads out on the line (lovely and sunny here - sorry Fay!)
    Seen to animals
    Cleared up kitchen a bit

    No wonder I am exhausted! Stopped for an early-ish lunch!

    Later I will:
    Do more work
    Drive home carefully to conserve fuel
    Need to stop off at supermarket on the way home to pick up some fruit, dog meal and a couple of other bits
    Do a bit more digging in the garden and read up on Jerusalem artichokes as I have been given some to plant and haven't grown them before.
    Plant artichokes
    Supper from stores
    Start thinking about what to cook at the weekend - I have visitors on Saturday, and on Sunday it is Mothers Day, and ALL my brood, complete with partners, children and dogs are descencing on me expecting to be fed. All together including OH and I that will be 8 adults, 4 children and 6 dogs :eek:

    I didn't think that was supposed to happen to mums on THAT day :confused:

    Hope the poorlies feel better soon.
    Have a nice rest-of-the-day everyone :j :j

    Hi Everyone

    Didn't get much done yesterday - seem to be always too tired! Have got my course tonight so cant' do much but here are my small efforts:
    • post book sold on Amazon DONE
    • walk to post office to get some exercise and fresh air DONE
    • try not to spend too much on food (lunch and evening snack) SORT OF
    I have made the decision to remove my new sofas from my list of debts. I added this to my debt total but don't think I will manage to pay it all off before the loan repayments start in December so I have removed it from my main goals for repayment. This will improve my overall payment percentage in my signature. I think this is more realistic. If I do manage to save enough to pay it off then I will add it later.

    Hope you are all well - waving!
