Morning lovelies
Didn't make it on here yesterday - long day out shopping, rished to get girls off to their dad's, then was in bed by 9:o
So, plenty to do today - namely writing that bl00dy essay!!!

Sun is shining here - so will try do some work and reward myself with a glass of something nice in the sun later, souds good

Ok, here's my list:

• check banking - looking a bit sad, waiting for some refunds to hit the account!
• daily scratch - 10p, now there's a surprise
• washing is on quickwash
• washing will go on the line
• empty airing cupboard and put all away
• hoover downstairs
• meals from stores - stick to WW
• water heating only on for 30mins this morn
• ESSAY - searching for my motivation first

Ok, better get on and stop messing about on here!!

Morning everyone,

So far I have:

- Had quick shower
- Eaten breakfast so I don't get peckish when I'm out in town later
- Put a load of washing on which has now finished and I'm going to line dry
- Phoned my mum on free minutes
- Washed up
- Checked onlilne banking and updated spending diary with something I'd forgotten about
- Started meal planning for the week
- Made sure OH takes last nights leftovers for lunch at work today (he keeps forgetting)

and I plan to:

- Go shopping for food with my list
- Pop into Iceland to see if there are any bargains for my freezer
- Go and put a cheque in for a student who's staying with us next week
- Might make some bread
- Will make a meal for tonight
- Do 2 further loads of washing and line dry (1 load is only to freshen up so will use eco-balls)
- Cut the daffs back
- Do a bit of tidying/cleaning

If I manage all of that I will have felt that's a good day!

Enjoy the sun if you have it :-)

Morning folks , this is very early for me as i dont usually surface till nearer lunch on a day off But a work colleague texted me at 8 am so I thought i might as well make a move as I have a lot to do today. I have been working like a dog for the past 10 days and the house has suffered.

Today I will :

check online banking - its tight but i should make it - no extra payments this month though. 10 days to payday

Do a budget for next month - pay will be better so need to move more to savings / extra payments

All meals from stores- bolognase for tea tonight.

Shop for sunday lunch locally - slightly more expensive but i will only buy what i need so works out cheaper and supports local shops - still bought more than i intended

Lots of HC , line dry - DD has vomiting bug and keeps missing the bowl :mad: - 2 loads done , 3rd in machine . DD has produced another mountain to be done tommorow

Wizz round the house and have a good tidy - wow it looks like a home again and not a tip !

Beencounting i hate gardening too but my DB cut my lawn last week while i was working so if i get chance i'll try and make start by getting rid of the bottles lying around from last years party and have a general tidy up, maybe it will be good enough to sit out with a glass of wine tonight - did a quick tidy round then sat out with a cuppa , if the chair is pointing in the right direction it looks alright

Do some surveys - awaiting a few vouchers

Do some competitions ( some before i get up and some tonight)

Wait and see what the postie brings today - yesterday i got a book about champagne from the freebies board , which if you are interested i reccomend. And i got a pack of thongs with an interesting catalogue from the competitions board.- got a £1 voucher as an apology for freebie not being available .

While I am on a roll i have emailed local parlimentary candidate that is campaining strongly in my area and told him what I think of his leaflet ! I am not elderly and have no children in school , i do not live in a council house so what exactly is he going to do for me ?

Instead of binning the grotesque packet of crisps i got in a multi pack i have packaged them up with a letter of complaint to the company- we will see.



ex oh and his new family have flights booked out of portugal today with Ryanair who are not flying until monday at earliest - i'm sorry for anyone who is suffering with this but the further away from me he is the better (i'm not bitter :rotfl:)

Morning everyone! :wave:

No rose hangovers here - a beer one instead Went out after work last night for 4 half pints...and a take away pizza on the way home Ah well, have updated spending diary - £15 - and "I'm reviewing...the situation..." (lol) and will do better in future! Also had to get a taxi home cos my feet were killing in beloved shoes that have only recently started to hurt!! :mad: So that was £6 wasted. Boo.

My list for the weekend:

• Catch up with the flylady thread!! (Cleaning to keep me out of money-spending trouble.)
• Get a charity/car boot/ebay bag together and decide what to do with those CDs...
• Re-used a bag yesterday so saved 4p and didn't need to buy another one
• Wash make-up brushes
• Put any change in the jar - almost £20 again (it's one of those ones that count on the top), which has been used the past twice for a bottle of wine when we go out for a meal on clubcard vouchers so it's kinda 'free'.
• Tying my hair up so it doesn't need washing
• Quick hokey cokey on 30 - can get away with it after my trip to the launderette with sheets and towels. I've come to the conclusion that there will never be a time when I don't have any washing to do - I wouldn't be able to fit all the clothes in the wardrobe if everything was clean! (Not that I have too many clothes - just a tiny bedroom.)
• Making a weetabix loaf
• Coming up with some sort of meal plan for next week and deciding whether we need a big online shop or can hold off for another week
• Count my pennies to see how much I can sponsor my friend
• Phone mum with free mins to see if she caught her flight - that's funny about your ex, Picasso - wouldn't it be a shame if he couldn't get back?! :rotfl:
• No trip to the beautician so far in 2010 :A - so some DIY pampering later
• Wedding planning (with no unplanned/spur of the moment buying going on!) only after everything is done!

Josiebabie - I will try the 20 min thing... Never really timed it. Hate this immersion tank business!!

Catch up soon

I think it'll say on your bill. I'm on a deal where it's the same price all the time but other deals are more expensive during the day and cheaper over night but think the time depends on your provider/deal. It might be on the comparison sites.
