Monday 27th April "What small DFW things have you done today?" Thread

Lurleene

Hi guys, thanks to Mogchops for starting the thread.
1) Won 50p on scratchie. :eek:
2) Tis peeing down so I am taking T to the cinema and using free ticket vouchers. Don't have to pay to park at this cinema either.

3) If he is a good boy I may also take him to lunch using my Luncheon Vouchers.

4) A lady is coming to pick up an item I have posted on Netmums. Its only a fiver, but it isn't something I am ever going to use again.

5) Will list more items for sale.

6) Check online banking, Quidco etc.

7) Will pop into Tesco next to cinema and buy more bargain wine if they have any. I got some the other day and it is lovely - normally £9.99 a bottle but with the Wine Festival promotion it works out at about £17 for 6!

Have a good day everyone, see you later.

morning all

Didnt get on yesterday and didnt actually do very much at all. Hoping tonight will be more productive. Got a note from friend in internal mail today paying me for the parking ticket we got last week!! I am disputing it but if I have to pay then its sorted - lovely friend. If I dont have to pay she said to give to charity which I will. Lovely thought.

Raining here thank goodness as veggie patch, grass and seedlings really needed it. Dog unfortunately is not so sure. Working outside this afternoon in the sheep shed so hopefully it will ease off. I did bring my wellies and thick socks though so should be fine.

- have a NSD
- check why bank have not yet credited my account with money they took out in error (was told last wed at latest)
- meals from supplies ( breakfast - plum and choccy biscuit, lunch - tin pasta shells, yoghurt, tea - pork cassarole and rice taken out freezer this morning)
- scratch and click 10p, 10p
- check banking
- ensure all ready for pay day tomorrow so payments come out properly
- some letters printed re adjusted budget.
- try walk doggie (although if still raining she wont go anywhere!)

Thats all I can think of at the mo but will be back after i read sat's post and see all i didnt do at weekend

Today I have:

And I will:

• Try and find out why my golden bell pepper is shooting its roots up instead of a seedling - anyone know?
