hello everyone
feelingtoday........ 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
(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
- 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

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...DF as at 30/12/16
