Scrapping anything additional off my list! Taken ages doing submission work for course and the day has disappeared! Glad to have it done though! And do have the next two days off to do everything else!
Going to relax this evening:beer:
Welcome Smithy! :jThank you to all posters:beer:0 -
Hello :j
Just back from being away for work for a couple of days - low spend, only a newspaper today as work paid for everything. Eaten free too, last evening and today - so full I shan't want anything else :eek:
Anyway, came home and put the bins out - that is a bit of a change from the 5 star lifestyle I have become accustomed to over the last couple of days :rotfl:
Also seen to animals, checked online banking - been paid :T
Must take dogs out in a minute, then feed them, and after that I can collapse in a heap.
OH will be working late tonight, which is a shame as it is his birthday :mad: His job dominates our lives, and although he has enjoyed it over the years, he is now looking forward to taking early retirement. He has to work really stupid hours for at least half the year. The EU working hours regulations are too easily got around in his industry! You don't need 12, 14, 16 and more hour days when you are getting older.
Anyway, off soap box and off down the lane with the dogs !!
Have a nice evening everyone :hello:0 -
I had another NSD today.. 3rd in a row..
Brekkie and lots of coffee at home to wake me up..
Sandwiches made at home for lunch.
Water from the tap in my bottle.
Cycled into uni.
Might have to spoil it tmrw as I have to order a stethoscope but I am putting it off as long as possible.
Hope everyone has a good evening..;)One debt in 100 days £384/1264(£865 left)Pay all your debt off by xmas 2014 £276/18864NSD 4 and 4 in a row0 -
Helloooooooo !
Been so busy at work these past few days, haven't had time to post on here !
For me today:

- done scratchies and clicks
- no heating on
- washing on low temp and dried on airer
- meals from stores
- spent £8 on food things for the next few days (putting off doing a big Mr T order online for as long as possible)
- ordered monthly bus pass online (£2 saving)
- worked really very hard for my pennies at the office
- took packed lunch to work
- watered very dried out plants (oops!)
- did a few surveys
- updated my sig. on here, ready for tomorrow's DMP payment (a bit previous, I know, but I love to see it go down, even if only by a bit)
Right - on with the rest of the jobs to get done.
Have a great evening everyoneAiming to be debt-free, and have my degree, by 50 ! :j0 -

But in the meantime I have:- checked all accounts online

- put all receipts for my weekend away in a pile to add to my spending diary (yes, I know, it's not the same as IN the diary but it's a start
)
- caught up with the Giving Up/Cutting Down thread, which keeps me on the straight & narrow
- neatly folded & put away one lot of washing
- got 2nd load of washing on & on a clothes horse to dry
