Welcome I need to make £ - stick with this thread it performs absolute miracles!

If get keys take reading at new house and also take my energy owl over and make sure just about everything is switched off (it has storage heaters and I have no idea how they work)

Thanks fayjmck for welcoming me! even though i may not be able to complete all my to dos today i do feel better for starting my dfw on here!!!

with regards to storage heaters - i have a friend who has them, they are expensive to run but if you get the electric board to put you on the tariff which there is a cheaper night time rate and have them on through the night then they heat up and last through out the day till the evening. I hope that makes sense. If all else fails go buy some halogen fires, we used to have them when we had no heating, we only paid about £10 each and they have a safety mechanism which turns them off if they are knocked over. they only cost about 9p an hour to run!!!

hope it has all gone well today with the house!!!

Thanks for that - I am feeling pretty rough but I always get angry with myself that i've given in! A day in the house is a rare occurance as it is without going and wasting it.......omg all the stuff I could have got done :mad: but yes I guess we do all need a chill day and hopefully I can catch up tomorrow will prob stay home again - don't want to pass my germs around college plus I need to be recovered for work for the rest of the week!!!!

I know how you feel about not achieving things, one of the reason's I have finally joined mse. I always feel like I dont use my days wisely and even more so now i am pregnant. so much to do so little time to do it in!

take another day off if you are able to. set yourself little tasks!!

Hello all

hope you enjoyed the sunny day..

Not done much DFW or MSE things today but working hard, got back around 7:30pm and its been a :

• LSD as spent £2.65 on lunch (working away) and £1 on newspaper (not sure about OH yet..think he has gone for swift drink after music practice but hopefully he has been restrained after all its a school night;))
• Seen that on ebay I have 1 bid on one item and 4 watchers on the other
• Looked out more items for ebaying when I get back from hols - have a tough March target to aim for:(
• Looked at online banking and shuffled money. First time we have been on holiday and its already paid for. I also have money in an account to pay off CC bill for food, fuel etc whilst on holiday when it arrives

Thats it folks..more tomorrow

thank you! just need to get in control now and stop being so lazy!

see you have a plan of action! and you need to reward yourself even if its long soak in the bath with a book! Sounds like studying keeps you busy!!!

Lists are never ending! I have actually given up today on my list! Was going to even do some work work but i really cant be bothered! ill get my head down tomorrow!

One productive thing i am going to do is finish my lunch off for tomorrow! I will have a NSD!!!!!
