I have a similar arrangement. I keep a basket hanging up in a dark cupboard for that very reason. Not a very big basket, so not a lot goes in there - even less comes out :eek:0 -
Well, the next thing I will do is ... start frying one of those steaks I got earlier ... And rescue the cooking rice as I can smell something ... and so on.

Hey guys, hope everyone has enjoyed the sunshine, busy day as ever for me!
Miss piggy, glad that you have seen the doctors and have some medicine to help you out.
Am doing a quick post as am off to my voluntary stint in a moment.
Today's things:
-Been to work for my pennies
-Done daily scratch cards
-Looked for mystery shops
-Posted a gift voucher i sold for my business
-Read business website for advice
-Emailed person interested in a treatment
-Have visited a client and gave them a treatment and they have booked in again
-I have responded to an offer on freecycle for a much needed hedge strimmer, i begrudge buying one as we don't own the property and don't feel i should fork out for something which i will only use for this garden!
-Spoke to neighbour about my business, he chats to everyone and he didn't realise i had my business, so hopefully chatting to him, he will pass the word around the other people on my street!
-Lunch was an extra meal i made the other day
-Off to voluntary stint in a mo, so will be there for the rest of the evening, doing my little bit and its all part of the big plan
-I will take some leaflets for my business and leave them there incase any of the other staff are interested, always good to get out there!!
-I have emailed foreign student place to say we will take a student next weekemd, they will be staying till september which is great.
-We have also decided to stay two students and have arranged a second one for mid april too, so that will help with the finances.
-Having a no spend day.
-Have checked through emails
-Have checked website optimisation, and rankings!

Finished eating all that now. Cheap packet of mushroom/chicken flavoured rice. That's what I like about these steaks I get a lot (well, when I can relax a bit if you like and not eat just ready meals; oh, the days, of having lots of money alas are gone) they always fry up into big, juicy ones. Turned out better than I expected.Any help, opinions, views I may hold those are my own. Respect them as you would expect the same in return.

Todays I have:
*checked online banking
*informed brother that his half of mobile bill is now due
*got two new tyres on car after I managed to scrape through the MOT. Was only going to replace the one that was nearly bald but my dad said it was better to replace both front ones at the same time! Even better he paid!
*had storecupboard breakfast lunch and dinner
*LSD as only bought mothers day cards my mum, granny, godmother and OH mum (she loves me as she never got cards or presents for anything before I came along!)
*took dog to get her neck fur trimmed but she wouldn't sit still and dog groomer said there was nothing she could do! Will be highly recommending her to all my friends :rolleyes: but at least I saved the money it would have cost
*collected Dad's prescription and even paid for it (makes us evens today I think!)
*posted 12 ebay items but all my sisters stuff so no pennies for me!
*did daily scratch
Tonight I will:
*list some of my own stuff on ebay
*do some dooyoo reviews and start rating some myself
Happy Thursday everyone!0
