Hi everyone :wave:
Here’s my list:- Brought a really unappealing sandwich to work
- Resisted the snack machine!
- Having something quick and easy for tea tonight – cupboard food as haven’t taken anything out of the freezer – pasta or rice and something probably…Didn’t get very far with my meal plan for this week as you can see…
- Pack ebay sales using stuff from stash – [STRIKE]over £40 for me
[/STRIKE] made £61 this month! - Help OH count a pail of pennies he forgot about!

- PAD to cc
- Look into getting some storage space – not v DFW – I imagine it’s costly (“sell it all” I hear you cry!) but it’s cheaper than moving house and that’s really the only other option I can see!!
- Update spending diary from the weekend – £8.99 vino, £5 taxi
– and from today - £9.25 for a cleanser and £2.20 for coffee. Tut tut… - Take back library book
- Visit Lush (my Achilles heel!) and only buy a cleanser. Am not out of hand cream or moisturiser just yet so I’m going to hold off buying them – they can wait til June/July.

Hi everyone!
Been busy in work today, although managed to read a bit of the thread lunchtime. Made my list before leaving work, which included *finally* mowing the lawn
.
So, Fay, thanks for the mower, and the little push to get it done, you're right, I feel quite noble...or possibly smug, not quite sure which
. My DD wondered what I was doing as it's so early in the year. The first cut is usually around August when the grass is up to my chest :rotfl:.
I've also done/will be doing:- [STRIKE]Check bank & update spreadsheet[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Draw some money from savings ready to take away next week[/STRIKE] (we're off to France for a week
:D) - Wrap some of the ebay stuff ready to post...not sure I've got enough energy left for this now...:o
- [STRIKE]1 x HC[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Little bit of ironing[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Check paypal to get addresses[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Make (small) payment for my 100 day challenge[/STRIKE] - £2.70

- [STRIKE]Surveys...maybe one[/STRIKE] did 4
- [STRIKE]HM lunch to work[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Spag bol leftovers for dinner[/STRIKE]
- Found 3p today ([STRIKE]will pay it to the CC[/STRIKE])

Have a lovely evening everyone
.

I'm just starting to think the same thing! And only sold 5 things! Thankfully most of them will just be large letters but am slightly panicking and having to double check everything so I don't send the wrong person the wrong thing!
