Hey chaps
Today from sunny shetland
Checked bank on phone for free (i love my phone)
Paid BB lady in cash - my room was smaller and no shower (didn't bother me - bathroom upstairs anyway) - so I got my room for £20 instead of £35 - hurrah as its on expenses I can bill for the £35
Got some lovely local fabric to make napkins from a local shop - and a couple wee xmas pressies
Visited a few places for work and made some contacts
Talked to OH on phone about potentially looking for somewhere good for a bunkhouse/b&b and plant nursery for us to live long term - in the highlands somewhere an dhe seems keen
Did a bit more digging into 'frugal ethical weddings' - Ie green wedding which costs nothing but the licence - we are now bantering ideas together -
Aside that not much - working late tonight - all food claimed os far from expenses and didnt use any electricity etc over past 2 days
Waves to all - up for a catch upTotal debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:

Hi all, Lots of exciting plans, especially for you Fay!
Glad to hear Pip has escaped piggy flu.
1) Went to work
2) Sc x 50p
3) Checked Quidco, bank, survey sites etc
4) Went to library ( next door to work, v handy indeed!). Got a newly released novel and a book about sewing - which looks a bit beyond me to be honest!
5) LSD. Just a paper and 50p on whoopsied veggie samosas.
6) Will make a cheap lentil curry to go with them for tea.
7) Packed breakfast and lunch!
8) We want to go the pub and do a quiz but will have to sit in the garden cos of the kids. But it looks like it will pee down, so we probably won't make it . At least that will save a bit of money. One day I will have a social life again!
