Hello, I hope you don't mind me joining in a bit. I am new to the DFW section but we are trying to economise and get into the habit of doing small DWF things.

So today I have ....

This is a NSD for me!:money:


Dried a wash outside on the line.


Ate homegrown red chard and rocket salad for dinner along with some cold roast chicken which was leftover. So with a jacket potato it was a cheap meal

DS gave me £10 which he owed me

welcome phudge! :T:T:T

Infact as we don't have a TV signal at the moment - its a telly free zone!

Morning all

Lovely to see such ace lists well done on the moneysaving and nice to see new faces!!

Today up with the larks (or in my case the NOISY oystercatchers!!)

HC on and will go on the line
Check surveys
Back to the old house later to clean the rest of the greenhouse and the conservatory
DS to paint the potting shed for £60 - my landlord propositioned him and offered him a decent rate!
Must repot the chilli's as they are really taking off
We've also inherited a pumpkin - its on a windowsill at the moment but I'm sure it will take over the house:rotfl:
HM dinner
Lunch will be chicken noodle soup I made yesterday just need to add the noodles
DS friend back home, DS to the new house - try and do this in one trip to save petrol
Darwin needs emptied - hes got the entire contents of the attic in him
Find something nice to give to a pal who drove behind me in the campervan yesterday so I could leave both cars at this house
HC for me
Work stuff to do
Phone garden man and tell him I couldn't get hold of someone
Bit of work and a bit of extra work
Also need to do a bit towards a presentation course on Wed - read the book
Walk the mutt
Check on musicmagpie for the dvd's which are now a silly price on amazon
Pack two amazon sales up (book and a dvd)
I can keep stuff in the greenhouse at old house over the summer - so I think I'll do more cuttings - also need to mark a few plants which I want to collect seed from (Aquileiga - a dark purple one)
Think about applying for a job - it starts earlier than my finish date so I'm not too sure what to do.
Check banks
Check CC's
Phone OH with passport info
Figure out where to meet DS on the mainland to take him on holiday he's travelling back from a trip the day before we leave for our holidays

Anyway thats enough for me today - best get on - I hope you're all good and hello to any new/old faces

*old as in familiar - not especially just wrinkly faces*

Morning all!
Sorry I've been a bit AWOL for the past day or two - Friday was because of an impromptu afternoon/evening in the pub with fellow newly qualified teachers (last day and officially all now qualified) and yesterday was due to a slight hangover, having to walk miles to collect the car after FRiday's boozing and then a BBQ/party in my tutors house for all the new science teachers (more booze!)

But I'm back!

Hayfever is driving me to distraction - I need a NASA spacesuit to protect myself! Gone past caring what I look like now - would be happy to wear a gas mask at the moment!



Anyway, today's list...

• Update spending diary and budget for June after a few unplanned sessions in the pub
• Hoover and dust house
• Walk dog for free exercise - one done
• Go to collect car (again)
• Do 3 loads of washing (one in now)
• Change bed
• Try to think of something I can do with 5 unknown classes tomorrow at supply job - they still haven't told me what to teach:eek::eek:
• Phone sister and arrange a week that she can come to stay with me for during the summer hols (she's disabled and it'll give my parents a bit of a break and will be nice for me to spend some time with her)
• All food from stores (managed the shopping yesterday and spent £42.50 I think) - from budget of £45 for the week
• Get some clothes ready for the working week
• Clean bathrooms

That's all for now - better get cracking!

Today I have or will
