    - must do some letters re debt. got a small claims hearing next week re debt. I submitted all paperwork but not heard anything further as yet.
    - clean out cats, give dogs cage good scrub. Dog ate bed yesterday so work out what she is going to get instead.

    Wow, you lot have massive lists!
    Although I bought butties this morning for breakfast - I do keep the odd 20p change from everyone at work so I only pay £1 for mine!
    I paid all my credit cards today AND I had £40 left over so paid it off ny priority credit card!!! Never normally have money left over to do that so more than the minimum payment this month - small steps...
    Have my lunch from yesterday as I went and bought some food yesterday :-(
    Have budgeted for my weekend away and saved money for it - let's hope I can stick to it!!! x

    Morning all,

    Big hugs to everyone that's feeling poorly or a tad down.

    It's the last working day of the week. :T Roll on the chocolate and four days - I wish of vegging out.

    Today I'm doing the following:

    - charging my mobile at work, for some reason my battery doesn't last very long.
    - a store cupboard tea.
    - last night left overs for lunch.
    - a nsd, which will make it 7/20 this month.
    - Doing all my daily clicks, polls and surveys.
    - tonight I'm going to crack on wiht some more of the 'Holiday Train' cross stitch. Even though it's a Christmas present I want to get it finished by August. :eek:

    Right I'd better crack on with some work now.

    Big hugs to everyone and have a great easter!!

    Hi Toffee59 - free scratch info is here, on this thread

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1412565

    that reminds me, I must do mine!

    Sorry to hear of your woes SM, and hope you get a lovely rest Milly.

    I was aiming for a LSD today, but have had to pop the car into the garage ahead of our holiday next week. It should be a small thing, but as we know these things never are, so fingers crossed.

    Morning all you small DFW's!

    ((hugs)) sophiesmum. Poor you!!! Hope you are feeling better and that a trip to casualty isn't necessary.

    Lillian - well done on being debt free!!

    Milly - enjoy your peace and quiet and make sure you get some rest.

    My cold is easing off a bit so thats good. I can stop whingeing about it now :rotfl:
    Been and done my cleaning job at my brother and SIL's house. Had a good morning - managed to smash their glass coffee pot into fifty million smithereens (Took me an AGE to find all the glass), then Piglet did a slow motion roll / fall down the stairs. Luckily theres only a few of them so no damage done to him but I managed to bash my hand on the door rushing to see if he was ok. Sometimes I feel like I live in a Laurel and Hardy show.....
    Looking forward to the long weekend. Got a lot planned - sorting out lots of rubbish in the house and having a spring clean. But for today my list is:

    * Do Mrs Mop job - fuel paid for a week
    * Pray SIL doesn't want me to pay for coffee pot ;)
    * Charge mobile at work
    * OH's turn to buy shopping :rotfl:
    * PAD - pay £1 to Studio
    * Heating off
    * Washing drying on airer
    * Whilst at work print off some pictures from cbeebies site for Piglet to colour in over the weekend
    * Get Piglet to make and Easter card for his Nanny and Grandad
    * Free dinner - Mum sent over two pasta meals for me and OH

    Thats it for today. (hugs) to all poorly injured people!!
