nomorespending

Good morning all!!
Its nice to be on here in the morning instead of last thing at night!!

Rachel - Hard work now but just keep thinking about next year - 13 weeks holiday... 5/6 weeks off in the summer.. and you get to do something you love..it will soo be worth it!!

Today I will:

• ring currys and get a refund on the installation of the dishwasher that they couldn't do - which ade me cross because i only went with them because of their installation service!!! stoopid upid currys! ( have been on the phone waiting for an advisor for 20mins now!!!)
• Sort out collection and disposal of old dishwasher (its for the house i have tennants in not my own - we wouldn't be replacing ours!! But my tennants are lovely so i want to be a lovely landlord!
• Take doglets out early
• Go and visit OH Nan as we've nto seen her for a while - will involve petrol but theres not much i can do about that!
• Go and have free training session on Iphone ( i got this before i joined the site....and as i have one now I might as well use it to its full potential)
• do slow cooker meal for later so not tempted to eat out ( think i'll leave my money behind!!)
• tidy up a bit
• rehearch best/ cheapest travel for going to town tomorrow ( seeing stereo phonics - christmas present)
• look into phoenix card scheme and do some maths about potential money making ( does anyone do this scheme? I have had the pack sent to me from another MSE - let me knwo if youknow anything!)
• visit parents
• plan meals for week

Think thats it for now.... will check in later to see how everyones day has gone. Have a good one x

Mum & her OH took us out for dinner as OH helped with major work in the house.

Came home from work at 5.15pm last night, to an answering machine message from the interview I had on Monday asking to call back - they were open till 4.30pm grrr so have to wait until Monday to find out what it is, think it is for a 2nd interview. Got another interview with a different company on Monday so hopefully will get out of my job soon!! Need too for my own sanity.

Hope everyone has a good day :j

Hey Everyone, I'm new here so easing myself in to getting used to being a DFW!

Main thing on my agenda, is to give my car a clean out as I'm trying to sell it. It's currently costing me £184 a month and although I don't have the outright cash to buy another one straight away, I'm sure I can get a decent car to run me about for much cheaper!

Other than that I'm:

• Going to parcel up the items I sold on eBay last week.
• Sort out my phones to recycle.
• List more items on ebay (just need to find the battery charger for my camera first!)
• Count the money in my penny jar

I'm out tonight for a family birthday party, I bought the present last month at the York Factory Outlet it was a gift set from the body shop, reduced from £25 to £10! I am also going to limit my spending tonight, luckily parties in country clubs always seem a lot cheaper than nights out on the town! Still have to consider the taxi though...

Hope you're all well!
Emma x

That's it for today - better get cracking!
Have a good day...

Getting there - more lesson writing now- yippee!

Anyone here bake muffins? Think I need some help! Mine arent rising as much as I would like, they are more like large fairy cakes and they are sticking to the case too! I followed a recipe from a member on here, maybe I just need to try a different recipe? The best batch were the first ones I did, and for that I had no plain flour so used SR....any ideas?

elfen

Could use SR again Cleosmum as if that's what worked first time. I'm all for changing recipes if it turns out better.

I have:
Bought enough socks to keep a sock monster happy
Sorted my undies drawer
Going to sort my tops and see if anything can be ebayed
