Tuesday 31/3/09 What small dfw things have you done today???

Wish I had been up as early as you SM- instead I slept in and have spent all morning catching up with myself! Everything seemed to be wrong this morning- the bread I put in the back of the cupboard for my breakfast and to make a sandwich was found by Oh last night after football and he drank all the milk which meant BSD for me (big spend day) as I had to buy breakfast and lunch on the run. Will have to find a better hiding place for my food- perhaps the ironing pile, he never looks there!

So today I have/will

• daily scratch- 20p woohoo!
• check banking/ CCs- doesn't make for good reading this week
• try and get my assignment started that is due for Friday :eek:
• try and not spend anymore money
• try and stay off MSE and do some work

Still haven't heard back from the org where I have an interview - will they be able to re-arrange my interview?

They can't re-arrange the interview. They have said they will contact me if they can't appoint but they have a strong field of candidates.

Ok - so I need to think about why this is a good thing:

• the travel would have been horrendous
• any extra money I would have got would have gone on petrol and car maintenance
• the job sounded quite strange - part job-share part?
• I will have some me time and won't have to worry about preparing for an interview while working on my assignment.
• My CV is good enough to get an interview at this higher level.
• Getting the qualification I am working on will help me further.

So, back to the assignment.

waving to you all.

Hello all! I'm back!
Last week was a flipping nightmare with work - all over Europe with no sleep and no time.
Never mind - back to reality today and back to MSE ways.

Today I have /will....

• had brekkie at home
• brought lunch to work
• heating completely off - may put it on for an hour later tonight if it's cold
• had false nails removed - cost £10 but it costs £18 a time to have them done and I do it every 2-3 weeks:eek:
• Walk dog for free exercise - one done, 2 to go
• go to SW WI for "free" as I paid for a countdown course a few weeks ago
• have leftovers from yesterday for tea
• start meal plan/shopping list for next week
• pay electric bill - booo!!! £100 for the quarter so I guess it could be worse
• check banks
• do work expenses
• do some work!
• Send cheque to DJ for wedding
• ring uni about the interview I have for teacher training!
• Got books from library for interview swotting up

That's all for today....

Have a good one!

Crap day today, didnt sleep last night, just managed to doze all night :mad: crap stuff dumped in my lap and a bit fed up

Today I have:

• Checked banking
• Taken seeds outside to water and put them in the little growhouse :A (Can I leave them in there, or is it best to bring them back in to my sills?)
• Bought DS2 a book on money, budgetting etc, written for teens, £1 in cheapy shop
• Bought 2 cards in waterstones sale - 99p each and got points

And I will:

• Eat lunch and dinner from stores, caved in to mcd this morning for breakfast but on the plus side I got a sticker for my loyalty card?!
• Plant more seeds
• SORT THE EC CLOTHES MOUNTAIN :rolleyes:
• Compile a shopping list for tomorrow, via mysupermarket to check best deals
• Get the animals sorted, think I need to bath the rats what fun!

Think thats my lot, prob wont even manage that!

SM, wow that really is early!!

Mille how ridiculously annoying for you and what a waste of time and energy. On a positive note, at least they are now coming up with ideas.

Urg, sorry about the job interview, hopefully something will come along soon

:j:jI am so happy today i could jump and dance about:beer::j:j Have been a bit concerned about money recently, despite my business picking up. However today i got a cheque from work, i knew we would be getting some money due to working an extra 45mins a day but was shocked to see how much i have been paid. A nice big fat cheque of £245, so have got a nice bonus.:j:j Plus i have got my new contract for next year and have been given a payrise of an extra 75p an hour, which is great for me, now my money is looking much more realistic:j:j

Planning on a fairly quiet rest of day, as i have no plans for this evening, so a chance to chill a bit.

-Big fat cheque which will pay for car insurance for the year
