    Ok, I've made it at last....I did get up at half 8....much as I wanted to go back to sleep, I mustn't waste the morning;)

    My 2 plus my niece are all still asleep...lazy little monkeys:) Not doing much today, i took them swimming and bought a Gregg's pasty on the way home, think they'll wander to the pask today. i nmight be kind and give them a couple of pound to spend at the shop:p

    So, nothing going on here - I have to attempt my essay, even though i'm really not sure of how it's going to go...hmmmmm. Hopefully ideas will appear (as if by magic) once I get writing!

    • check banking - ok and TCs in tomorrow and HB this weekend
    • daily scratch - darn goldfish in lipstick;)
    • mince out of freezer for tonight's dinner - DD2 making meatballs

    hello everyone

    feeling tantrum.gifhairpull.gifHStrapped.gif today........ Am so very skint. Didnt realise they were reducing my tax credits not just by £12 a week but also taking away another element of it and taking away the other £125 a month I was expecting today. Phoned them up and used all the credit on my mobile and have no funds to top it up. Poo. DD is away for a few days and was expecting me to transfer funds into her account but I cant and no credit to text her either. Have sent message on facebook. Was hoping to make the most of the couple of days I have free but I guess that means making the most of them at home, cleaning and moping LOL
    • get a little petrol in and drive v carefully to conserve it
    • free tix tonight to see Dear John but friend cant come and no credit to contact anyone else so will go on my own LOL
    • work out if dd wants my last £10 She does....transferred and left with £8 if required although I shouldnt need to spend anything else until Thur.
    • do DD's paper round for her
    • check plant outs - if clouds dont come to anything, water the veggies
    • have a nice long soak in bathtub.gif (I know not v moneysaving but cheaper than shopping LOL)
    • Watch lots of TV my work is going to be on STV tonight at 8pm. Exciting but weird that I never saw the cameras.....
    • tidy up some of the lounge and hoover house
    • food from stores with change in purse going to get bottle of diet coke and bar of choccy for cinema tho
    • check banking
    • cut up co-op card now account officially closed
    • check cc online
    • update edit grid spreadsheets
    • update sig for all the weekends NSD's
    Ok so not v positive but the last few days I havent reported in but have been dead good, had
    • sat and sun as NSD's.
    • Split the rhubarb root in two and planted out in a better position to allow further growth.
    • Moved blueberry bush
    • planted out two 99p gooseberry bushes.
    • Weeded the fruit beds
    • sowed cucumber and beetroot, a herb mix and salad leaves for the kitchen window
    • got free sample of dove
    • picked some wild daffodil stems from this extensive but weird natural growing place at workplace
    • sawed up some scafolding planks to make another 2 large veggie beds
    • cut back neighbours unruly hedge which is invading my garden and put my veggie patch into the shade by 1/3!! :mad:
    • watched some borrowed dvds from friend to save buying them
    • took lots of nice long walks with doggie just to make me feel better
    • took some crap out of the garden down to local tip - been meaning to do since about Oct.
    • Batch cooked some meals so can eat well whilst dd is away (sausages and mash or chicken in cream and sun dried toms with rice for tea tonight)
    • made some homemade soup out of leaks from the garden from last year. (Unfortunately burnt the onions so its not the best tasting I have ever had but still, must be eaten!)
    • review what Wii games I can trade in for the new Harry Potter lego game coming out next month. Can only justify if I make the money from somewhere. Not taken them in yet but a few are marked
    So thats me for now - off to catch up on everyone :)

    ah thanks Josie :A, think I've been struck by the sickness bug thats been doing the rounds in my neck of the woods. Woke up feeling a bit out of sorts, developed to multiple trips to the bathroom and stomach ripes. Seems to have eased off a little at the moment...
