Morning folks, Isnt the sun glorious. Its made me realise that I need to step back and breathe today after emersing myself in interview preparation and presentation writing .

So today I will :

• Take time out to reflect
• check banks - okay but starting to leak again , must restrain myself.
• any surveys
• competitions
• heating off ( woke up smothered as DD turned it on !)
• Hokey cokey
• meal from plan - something with chopped meat in slow cooker:o
• must clean and tidey :mad:
• cosey night in with DD and dvd from lovefilm ( UP - its not sad is it ? I always cry !)
• Spend a few moments reviewing presentation before emailing to HR to meet their deadline - I think its pretty good myself
• look at what i am going to wear for interview - smart casual I think, lots of nice skirts but may have to buy :eek: new top tommorow, what will lula say.

Enjoy the sun everyone , it makes you feel good and best of all - its free !!!

Hi everyone :wave:

The sun is sooooo lovely outside today! I'm just back home and it was a lovely walk (even a tiny bit warm). Shame I had lots of heavy bags to contend with or I would've enjoyed it a little bit more!

Lottebear!! Nice one! Enjoy that DF feeling! :j:j:j

Picasso - Up is a lovely film! I did cry though - get the tissues out!


This weekend I'm hoping to get lots of bits and bobs done around the flat. Here's my list:

- spring cleaning is keeping me out of money-spending trouble - cleaning EVERYWHERE & painting the bathroom
- washings on quick wash at 30. Think I've got the loads into some sort of priority I-need-you-to-dry-quickly order - will see how we go... No new airer yet (couldn't carry it back home) but I did get those little circular ones so I've got them on the shower rail
- trip to launderette tomorrow if no luck with the above
- meal planning, visit to the new cheap supermarket, then batch cooking - don't think many people know a new Aldi has opened as it was really quiet. Result! :T
- little pamper sesh when all is clean and tidy at home - found an unopened face mask in a drawer in the bathroom too
- catch up with a spanish soap I'm watching online
- make some calls with free weekend mins
- online mystery shop

Hope everyone has lovely weekends xxx

i think u'll have to use the income details for that year - and then maybe ring them up to alter your income once they have processed your claim. Or is there not on the form a place to put expected income for 2010/11? They can be quite helpful if you ring......sometimes best of luck xx

That's exactly what I was going to say;) I've rung them up to change my expected income for this year several times and they then just update my weekly payments.

Afternoon all,
Bit of a late one from me today, am at work at the moment and it's JUST slowed down
- Worked today (£85 over time, 8-2pm)
- Most exciting - have complained to Egg ref PPI and they have credited £77 to my card? Don't know what it's all about yet and not really what I expected so will wait for a letter from them to explain it
- Mum has DD
- Mum hanging HC on line to dry
- Make cake when get home
- LSD, just flour for cakes and treat for me and mum
- More HC
- Tidy and Dust through
- Use Hetty on eco setting
Probably more but we'll see!
Jx

Hello All - Happy saturday!

Today have been running round like a loon all day - just sat down.

• Me and OH cleaned the house from 9 am - 2pm.. non- stop mopped under sofa wiped down the walls ( mud on hall walls due to doglets) total clean so feeling fab now cause all done!!
• Out in the garden for a couple of hours cleaning up dog poo - a disgusting job but had to be done!! nearly there I think! Need to do more tidying in the garden tomorrow if weather ok as OH dad coming next week with a free shed for us.need to make some room for it!
• 4 lots of washing done and most dried on line ( stuff now on airers in the dining room finishing off drying. In amongst the washing was doglets bedding which was a little ( actually a lot) on the smelly side
• Took doglets out and showered them on return - clean dogs and clean house!!! yey!
• Made Sw lunch with OH liked too - peppers and gammon ( half price gammon from coop - £5 instead of £10) chopped up and then put in baking tin with 6 whisked eggs - oven for an hour , it was gorgeous - was pleasantly suprised!
• went to tesco and spend £47 and had £8 voucher if i spend £40 so got shop for 39 ( weekly budget is £40 so very pleased) . In the shop I got some simple shower gel for my dads girlfiend as she was saying the other day she loves the simple products. Birthday not til july but is was half price so being organised!

still need to meal plan for the week, do the ironing for the week, check banking, email accountant about tax return, put washing away once dried, feed animals,
Tomorrow - sow seeds - never done this before so very nervous about getting it right but have got seeds for peas, carrots, onions, herbs, chillis and peppers, need to look into what to do with them - this is my attempt to reduce my food bill by growing some of my own stuff.
sort out car insurance - due end march
Send thing back to DVLA to tell them AGAIN that I've scrapped the car they are asking me to tax.
Sure i'll think of more tasks for tomorrow but plan for tonight is to relax!

See you all later - or tomorrow x
