Morning all
Fay - have my fingers crossed for OH's redundancy news (and for your lodger money arriving!)
KT - good news about your Mum - hope it goes well!
Did most of the stuff on my list yesterday (except defrost chicken so that will have to wait another day!). So todays is:
* [STRIKE]Washing at 30'c and airer drying (weather looks dodgy)[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* Piglet off to nursery early today for funded session as well as normal one[/STRIKE]
* Investigate "love food, hate waste" website a bit more. I think its great - must look for other, similar sites
[STRIKE]* Check on-line banking (not looking good but will last to end of month hopefully :rolleyes:)[/STRIKE]
* Take another bag of stuff to charity drop off point.
* Think about budget for next month
* [STRIKE]Storecupboard lunch and mealplanned dinner[/STRIKE]
Thats about it. Have good days all!
Miss P

Waves to Miss P - thank you
Forgot to add to list - pick up new Tesco catalogue and get it scanned to get my £5 off voucher - its just out I think.
Banks are tighter than a duckies rear end on a cold day in a frozen lake.
All spends off from the weekend (I hope).
Just looked online to see about ordering more heating oil - and htey are going to do a £15 off for new customers signing up online for both planned deliveries and DD's (I am already a DD customer) but I dont get planned deliveries so in TRUE MSE STYLE I have emailed them and asked for hte discount anyway if I sign up for planned deliveries.

Too true
OH job safe - but two of his work mates redundant - scary stuff.
Applied for a £9.84 ? sim only deal with O2 (£100 cash back quidco) as DS phone contract expires next month but we dont need a new phone - will be cheaper than PAYG as need a 'never runs out of credit phone' (at least that's what I tell myself)
OOOh sold a dvd on amazon - need go post office at lunch
