determined_new_ms

Morning ladies! Am laying in bed right now contemplating what I need to do before I go to work (working 12-8) was planning to get up at 7 and do flylady before 9 (hehehe I do make myself chuckle with my "plans")



ok so I'll commit:

• [STRIKE]hm bread (didn't do yesterday)[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]flylady - in a minute (luckily where I've had a week off & cleaned furiously it shouldn't take too long )[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]check online banking[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]call bank[/STRIKE] not dodgy at all I'm afraid my son's gym membership... although did use say no to 0845 and got a freephone number
• [STRIKE]any surveys available[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]post 6 ebay parcels[/STRIKE] oops only did 5 as ran out of wrapping paper...
• [STRIKE]pay in £23 savings to bank[/STRIKE] forgot to get extra £6 out of piggybank so it was only £17 paid in...
• [STRIKE]find 2 things to sell on ebay[/STRIKE] have found 3 things for ebay & about 20 books for Amazon
• [STRIKE]get meat out of freezer for dinner tonight[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]dig something out for lunch/tea at work[/STRIKE] bought a pot noodle & a packet of crisps
• [STRIKE]quick shower[/STRIKE]
• go for a sauna after work

ok that'll do focus when at work. Maybe start job appl. Have a great day everyone.

Milly can you do a search for a smoothie recipe to get you through the day? x

ok 5.25 and am doing pretty good with this although do not think I will make it in time for a sauna as I need to go and get some petrol before returning home... will go onto tomorrow's list x

Bulk prepared chilli for tea
Filled in application form for second job
Phoned National debtline for advice about F&F payment - They're great!

Spend free day!

Today:
Took lunch to work
HM flapjacks for coffee break
Bulk prepared chilli for tea
Phone TalkTalk to demand a rebate for their rubbish broadband service
Send Change of Address letters to credit card companies so they don't send court letters or nasties to old address where I can't do anything about them.
Need bread but I'm going to wait until closing time and try and nab a bargain!

Afternoon all - the sun is out!
Good luck to Millie for tomorrow - I'm sure it'll be fine.
Also, everyone else seems to be having a fairly good day today - so well done us!

My piddly little list....

• Had brekkie at home
• Took lunch to work (not very inspiring so will have to try a bit harder tomorrow)
• Walk dog - just back from the park with half of the park embedded in the dog!
• Put dry washing away
• Finish job app to post
• Checked bank - bursary still not in:mad:
• Email a couple of friends
• Going to see Peter Kay tomorrow night so any jobs that need doing will have to be done tonight
• Ordered 3 maxi summer dresses from Dorothy Perkins website late last night - bargain using a code off Grabbit Board
• Make 5 bean chilli for tea (can use for tomorrow when in a rush too)
• Have a nice bath using smellies later

That's all for today - sorry its boring!

Hi all, quickly sneaking on here while OH makes tea, bless him. We are all creeping about the house as all the doors ceilings and banisters are covered in wet paint! :eek: Still, come Friday I should have quite a posh entrance - oo-er!

Today I:

1) Worked 6 hours and back later for another three tonight.
2) Posted 7 ebay parcels and managed to estimate the postage quite well for a change! Have made £35 from selling clothes I can't get into which is better than a kick in the bum.
3) Paid in some money I got for Christmas. I was saving it for a rainy day and it has started raining.!
4) Received a product to test for a survey.
5) Sent off tokens for free Robin Hood tickets.
6) Bought OH a lovely Monsoon shirt in a CS, for £2.

But the biggest news of all - OH has accepted a job :j:jPhewee- we will finally have some decent money coming in!!! ( Although now he will have to leave the house every day, and I will miss him. He has worked from home for the last 5 years!) But it is a huge, huge relief as you can imagine.

Have a funky Tuesday, especially you Milly. In case I don't get on here tomorrow, I will be thinking of you while you are in the hospital, I hope they take good care of you xxx

Hi folks , I believe it has been a nice day today but I have been so busy I didn't notice.

Had to go for training at other side of city across busy city ring roads that I don't know. Got there okay but had to go back to work halfway through day and got horribly lost, had to pull over into a car park to compose myself and ring a colleague , it was awful I'm not a fan of driving - the only real reason I want to win the lottery is so I can have a chauffer

On the bright side we have been reassured that the service redesign of other areas won't affect us and we won't have to re apply for our jobs or lose our grades.
Not done much else today but here is my small list :

• Check banks - payday next week - main account is very tight but some spare money in second account and may shuffle some money to cc / savings.
• check paypal account and transfer to savings / treat money - have some survey cash and ebay cash waiting.
• Prepare Ebay item to post - it will cost more than the capped postage charge to post but I got a fair price - I will miss my favourate coast dress , hope they like it.
• Meal from plan - spag bol made by DD
• Transfer money from treat account to current for night out tommorow - colleagues retirement do ( I wish it was me )
• Look at inbox for surveys
• competitions if wine allows

Milly best of luck for your operation , hope you are soon home recuperating. Remember to tell them to wash their hands - especiallly the Doctors - they think they are immune to germs ! I'm sure it will be worth it.

Well holby is currently recording, am getting a bit fed up of its completely unbelievable storylines but I do enjoy the totty
