Monday 13 April - what small DFW things have you done today?

mbaz

Oh no, I have been soooo bad today!

I did do a bank shift at work but then I made the mistake of meeting hubbie in town and going into the Cath Kidson shop...In my defence I did buy one of the cheapest things in the shop - a make-up bag - but I didn't need it but it is gorgeous! Also then went on to buy a lovely picnic hamper - defence - it was £25 instead of £40 and I figured if we take picnics everthwere rather than buying food it will pay for itself...hmmm think I'm clutching at straws now...I will make up for it with 4 NSDs in the next week I promise!!!

Am I forgiven???

• ironing
• washing hokey kokey
• search for a new laptop - I missed a brilliant deal but desperately need one. Mine is dying .
• check bank accounts
• update spending diary
• update spreadsheets

Well my friend cancelled so OH and I went to buy a computer. I'm nearly £400 more in debt now!! This means that I really must find more ways of making money. I have no further excuses.

Better get on with the other tasks!

On a nicer front - I've spent all weekend with oH which has been lovely. He usually works shifts so it is really hard for us to see each other at weekends so a whole bank holiday is bliss!

See you all soon.

Marru sent u sparkles via the cloud

Everyone else hope your relaxing etc went well
Drive up a nightmare lots road works delays and so by Inverness really had to drive like a boy enthuastically to get to ferry on time (which I hate ) rubbish as left inplenty of time.

Need to be very careful opening Darwin he's a bit full. These supermarkets are a bit sneaky with their pricing ESP with bulk stuff.

Under budget but not sure how much by yet
I found my crepe pan !!!!!!!!!! Finally at oh so that's something and sil is considering mrs mopping for him which is a great result.

Hugs kisses all round xxxxx off to convince a nice ferry person that hot water for lemsips is obviously free x

Sympathies with the cat food, mine can be a pain. I give mine a pouch each in the morning and then complete dried food for the rest of the day. I did try to change to cans of cat meat but they just dont want to know! I took it back in the end, got my money back. Their faves are whiskas or felix, but they are just as happy with Asda (40 for £7.98) or tesco (24 for £4.49), as long as its pouches, not cans :rolleyes: and thankfully they arent too bad with the complete dried and will eat whatever is on offer.

Glad you got home safely fay, need to give Darwin a well earned rest now after lugging that lot home;)

I bought flowers today at the garden centre - thought of you at the time - this is unheard of for me as I like the things I grow to be edible - but I bought these just for enjoyment value. :eek: I also went and cadged more flowers from my mums garden, so today saw violets, crazy daisies, senetti, lavender, and aubretia added to my little plot.;)

HI Sm - hope the arm is better - glad you got yourself some enjoyment flowers - there are million studies about the benefits to health of adding flowers to your garden and daily routine - and they attract predatory insects for you to eat anything horrible.

I dot my veggies in my flowers and my flowers in my veggies - this random arrangement I find to be very thearaputic for me

Waves heartily at SM - just put a silly photo on my diary - you'd be so proud I have finally used stardrops !!
