Good Morning All

Thanks to Mogchops for starting the thread
Keys – welcome to the thread

It is really raining here – big blobs of rain!...puts paid to my idea of gardening this morning.

Today I have/will:
• Breakfast from stores
• Printed out job details from fish4 ready to show the Job Centre that I am applying for jobs
• Look for a job
• Off to the gym after hubby gets home from work
• Cook up chicken that is in the fridge ATM – need to think of ways to use it economically
• DO SOME COLLEGE WORK
• Not spend any money
• Avoid the lottery’s website (I have added up that I have spent £30 in the last week on tickets and scratch cards, and won nothing!)
• Encourage my salad leaves to grow (rocket has already started)
• Put cling film over the salad seeds to encourage them to grow
• Read some more of the library book that I got last week
• Send SIL a message on Facebook rather than text her about meeting up this weekend
• Send a friend a message on Facebook rather than texting her to pick up some pea seedlings that I promised her
• Check CCCS statement to make sure that I have dropped into another debt bracket (was £14,XXX in December, should now be £13,XXX)
• Make sure that I am still on track to pay all my May bills with no problem (the money is sitting in various accounts)
• Check on my ISA as I might need this to pay June’s bills
• Fill in my Weightwatchers online food diary
• Start making dinner – pasta with tomato and vegetable sauce


Think that is about it, take care everyone

Today, its raining buckets which is keeping me indoors.

I have done some surveys whick pay.
I rang the Housing Benefits people to get a new form to re-apply now that I am officially self-employed (no more jobcentre for me:j) - they need to see accounts etc...(yawn)
I need to sort out paperwork for my accountant so that she can do my self assessment
Must start completing the Working Tax Credit form as well.
Lunch will be whatever I can find - maybe a bacon sarnie?
Dinner will be either chicken cordon bleu or chicken burgers and oven chips (all from freezer).

All boring stuff really.

La-Cara

today I have/will:

• used the internet at uni since Sky have been so kind as to cut us off early (we are moving at the end of the month)
• use up as much food as I can from the freezer using my mealplan
• checked polls on toluna & onepoll
• email clicks for ipoints & mutualpoints
• help out at an visit for college students at uni and get free lunch and a £30 boots voucher :jedit: lunch was nice and we even got to take leftovers away with us!
• took dvds out of uni library for free entertainment
• used the bus rather than car, so can claim back travel expenses

well done already everyone, seems like there has been lots of DFW-ness going on!!

Thought I would update as today is going quite well (so far)

Just completed a 50p survey
Joined up to get cashback on a bingo site, I thought it was £15 but it's been increased to £20 and whilst playing through to qualify for cashback I won just under £40 but am leaving it there until the cash back shows.:j

At this rate I will be able to buy a tin of celebrations to treat you all

No rain here - its just greyer than a very grey place with grey people in grey jumpers and grey woolly hats being dull and talking about grey stuff whilst painting grey fences and looking - well - grey.
