Afternoon all :hello:

Cleosmum - I have been contacting tax credits already due to a first claim and change in circumstances from the last tax year meaning we are eligible now

Hope everyone is well and happy I am sooooo tired- have managed three hours sleep this morning! Night shift went well, no problems, just takes it out of me as not done for a while!

My list for today:

• DH went to car boot this morning - picked up some plants for the garden
• DH has planted said plants and done some tidying in the garden
• Pup has also been walked
• We are FINALLY going to put DH's motorbike on ebay today - regulars will know this has been on my list for over two weeks now! No excuses, it's going on today! Pictures already been taken, just need details now
• Aiming for a NSD
• Stick to meal plan and SW all day
• Couple of hours uni work
• Type up a letter for a friend who is picking up later this afternoon
• RELAX!

Lots of love

Afternoon ladies!
Wasn't going to post today but OH has taken DD out in the Porsche he borrowed from work so I have some time to myself to catch up etc.
Today I have:-
- Been to Mr T's with OH, he's terrible he is. Bought duck for 1/2 price for dinner, bought diced fresh chicken, expiry today £1.75 down from £4, went straight in freezer.
- Batch cooked millies cookies with cherries in and Twink's with cherries in. I take the twinks out a bit earlier so they're a bit more flapjack-y. This is the best, easiest, most productive recipe I have come across for ages!
- Roughly worked out what I am to be paid this month, need to work out where I am going to allocate it
- Cleaned bathroom
And still will:-
- Sort clean washing
- Do nothing and relax! All HC and ironing that is needed for the week is done, now I can chill out and read the paper.

Happy sunday!
Jx

Done everything on my list apart from going into the sewing room, and it's only 2.30 so plenty of time to do that.

Fay - I have a website being built but I'm not sure if I will blog on it. I'd love to have one and keep thinking about it but it would just be one more thing to take me away from what I should be doing! As someone's tag line says - "procrastination is the thief of time" and that applies to me only too well.

La Escocesa - Thanks for that link. I'll be adding it onto my next list which starts in September 2012 and encourage all my contacts to sponsor me

Just going to finish this cuppa then up to the sewing room.

Just checked the bank and there tons of cash in there - don't get excited, I've just been paid for the next three months by student loans/grant etc.
I've quickly moved £1300 to a savings account that I don't have a card for to use during the summer months and paid myself £330 for this month and put £660 in the instant account for the next 2 months.
Basically, I'm trying to make 3 months money last for at least 4 months. If my plan goes well it should be doable

Also been to Homebase and B&Q looking for slate and border fencing for the garden but we didn't see anything we liked so came away with nothing - good for me, I almost bought a BBQ and 2 hanging baskets that we don't need yet!

Done 1 and a half lessons - about to finish them off NOW!

Triangle

Woo hoo - just listed my first item for sale on ebay! :j It's all very exciting, keep looking at the viewer count! Think I might get the bug now - will hunt round the house for other bits to sell!
