Good evening to you all!! hope your all having a good weekend!!! Well ive had a chilled day today :cool:, managed to get a parking ticket :mad:, not very dfw however i will try to dispute it!!! Give it a go anyway, even if it gives me some time till payday as well ive budgeted wrong again this month so all my efforts to be a dfw is out the window, feeling quiet down about it!!

Anyway just come on here quickly, tomorrow will be my day to get up and on with things. This evening just concentrating on my letter of appeal!! Tomorrow I need to:

Morning all :j

Didn't manage to post yesterday, so hope Pips Mum & family had a lovely day!

Had quite a lazy day yesterday to get over v. stressful one the day before :eek: but I did get the shopping done and one or two other things, but spend quite a bit of time sitting in the sun with the newspapers and went to see a friend for a natter in the evening

Today I have / will:

Check online banking

HM meals from stores

OH wants to go to the local car boot sale this morning, so I MUST try to avoid buying any (more) plants!

Having said that, I will send off for the Guardian offer of seeds and herb plants for £3.46 p&p!

Send off cheque to MFPA for the cards they sent - I don't always like the cards that much to be honest (they tend to be a bit old fashioned, though they come in handy for aunties etc), but am amazed at their talent - I have no disability and am totally and utterly useless at drawing and painting!

Will see to animals and plants (dogs been outside and cats fed and litter tray cleaned so far)

Walk dogs later for free exercise

Do some housework :mad: seems a waste of what looks like being another lovely day!


SM - I seem to have missed out on your news somehow - do tell :T
Have a nice day everyone :hello:

Good morning lovely dfw's,
Looks like it will be a diy day here today as OH somehow just managed to pull large bathroom cabinet from the wall narrowly missed smashing sink but broken a few other fixtures and my electric toothbrush:rolleyes: so off to diy shop in a bit for new fixtures and plasterboard plugs.

Aprt from that will be pottering in the garden, checking everything in the greenhouse, moving on some seedlings and generally getting veggie growing back on schedule.



List for today:

• check online banking
• sort out receipts from yesterday's spends
• file guarantees for new appliances etc
• storecupboard lunch and tea
• one lot of hokey cokey for OH
• one lot of ironing for me
• get cabinet put back up
• hopefully get tiime for swim and jacuzzi later to use gym membership
• visit lovely parents (and pinch more plants from mum's garden;))
• bit of gardening

Think that's about it for me, will see what else the day throws up. Have a great day everyone.

Its SUnday.........!
And I can't decide what to do. Do I go to the carbooty and bag some bargains that I could possibly sell on ebay to make mor money or do I go for a NSD? Very bad month last month so need to increase my income for May quickly - hmmm.

Anyway - Checked IBanking
Reorganised kitchen
Posted on Freecycle to see if anyone has a small freezer with drawers (mines a chest one and a nightmare for keeping organised / seeing whats there to use up or freezing batch cooking).
Ordered a free showersmart via ipoints (got 300 ipoints) which I can attach to my shower to save £££
Lots of clicks and things done.

Not a bad start.

• NSD hopefully - only grocery shopping (NO TREATS!!)
• ironing...must do this:mad:
• List more on ebay
• make girls beds up
• strip my bed and wash bedding
• washing hokey cokey and on line to dry
• college work - finish portfolio....can't wait:rotfl:

My 12 yr old daughter is forever filling up my pictures folder with pretty pics....so I pinched one! (She'll probably be mortified that mother is using it;):D)
