DansMum's hopeful freedom date 01/01/2024

greent

ooh - well done on thee weight loss - must be all that healthy strawberries & cucumber!!:rotfl:

I'm too scared to weigh myself!!

DansMum_2

Thansk Greent. I only do that every 3 months by the look of things! But in the spirit of TPA's thread I will try to weigh again next Tues am. TTM is due anytime so expecting sone kind of loss....

Today is a very good day. I have listed 10 items on ebay hooray at last!! Dont care what I get for them at least they'll be done and gone

Got home last night and after I spent £40 on food yesterday, DansDad had also gone shopping. So I have double fruit/salad stuff. Should contribute to the weight loss!! We're on salad lunch/dinner til its gone! Does anyone know if you can freeze banana's? :eek:

I submitted new leccy/gas readings yesterday which are very much under what they think I use so am owed about £234 :j. The question is what do I do with it?

1 - Pay it off CC ([EMAIL="£374@0%"]£374 @ 0%[/EMAIL])
2 - Pay it into Willie fund
3 - Pay it off Mortgage
4 - Keep it for holiday next month
5 - Combination of above....

Am thinking £100 off the card and £100 into Willie fund. Willie is my last debt I'll have so mayebe thats the best place? Advice welcome xx

So have salad for lunch, followed by my lushious fruit bowl (apple/banana/sultanas/raspberries/strawberries/handful of oats/fat free yoghurt) yum....:D

Yep - freeze bananas and use in cakes/ loaf/ muffins (or crumble...) Or barbecue/ grill them with choc buttons - yummy!

Thanks for that I just thought they may go mushy when defrosted.

I picked a huge bowl of blackberries from the god awful brambles that have been invading my garden all summer, there's loads more ripening up nicely so I could be dining on blackberry and apple crumble pie all winter Had a mate give me a big bag of new pots the other week and they're lovely too free food !!:p The field behind mine has old pots in so I may be doing a late night flit with a couple of carrier bags and my trusty balaclava :cool::rotfl:

Well last night I timed 30 minutes on the cross trainer thingy apparently I travelled just over 9k and burnt 206 cals.... Had salad and toasted cheesy ciabatta and ice cream for tea...

Have been looking on the up your income thread at the Arise home telesales thingy and am thinking I may go for it as I have a lot of downtime over the winter and could do with another £75-£100 a week to aid with impending new fence/garden makeover/bathroom/chicken house/workshop renovations which we plan on this year. Also Sky have kindly informed me that my subscription goes up another £3 in September which is too much to justify keeping it, so will speak to Virgin as my phones with them....

Rambling today - sorry coz I'm on my own all day

naughty naughty

We used to go on bike rides with my Mum when we were little and come back with runner beans and sweetcorn that magically appeared!

Are you subscribed to any of the extra's DansMum? If you're not it might be worth looking into Freesat instead of Virgin. The initial outlay is more but then there's no monthly fees

DansMum_2

Who me??? :A

I'll do that thanks SmlSave - I currently have Sky Sports for himself, documentary channels, lifestyle channels and HD package currently £49 p/m I thought I read with Virgin I could have all those minus sports (hooray no more football) @ £23 p/m inc free calls/broadband but + line rental of £11 which would be a substantial saving.... Will do more research xx

DansMum_2

Yet to do more research on above but if I can save I'll want a cleaner as fed up of doing all domestics grr. Would like to spend more time with my horses :j

Looks like my Nan is moving into end-stage Alzeimers now. She no longers recognises food as food.

The home she was in left her sitting in the chair all night the other night. Shes now somewhere else which has a good rating...:(

*Jellie*

Sorry to hear about your Nan.
I'm glad it's not just me fed up of spending so much time on housework. I love the house and garden but don't have the energy to enjoy them at the moment!

DansMum_2

Thanks Jellie xx

Am the same. We are going to renovate the garden over winter, re fence, take up and replace most of the lawn, upend the shrubs etc. I just need low maintenance and some pots so I can still do planting. I love my garden, but just cant give it justice..

Am probably going to have a large chipped slate area, new fence with weed thingy behind it so I doint get overrun with brambles and bracken and somewhere to sit.... Ahhh

mummyofonechild

Sorry to hear about your nan.

Hopefully she is being well looked after now.

Take Care
