Morning lovelies:j
Lovely sunny day here so I will resist going for a lie down now girls are at school and keep pottering about;) I have some books arriving from Amazon so cant miss the delivery man by being asleep!!

Kel - glad you had a lovely weekend, I'm glad you went on the trip, you have to have a bit of fun y'know:D

I'm not doing much today....feeling loads better, but got to remember not to do too much, tis very hard:o Mind you, by mid-afternoon I'm not fit for much, am completely worn out and just lie down....feel like a right old lady, but hopefully won't be for long and I'll be fighting fit again (if I ever was!!)

Ok...list time:

• check banking - ok
• daily scratch
• check Glamour comp winner's list - yay I won 2 things....holiday hairspray and Body Shop deodorant:beer:
• packed lunch for DD2 to school
• Give more ironing to ex-mil when she returns the load she took at weekend....lovely:p
• meal from plan tonight - pasties and mash
• go buy an Argos value blender as DD1 wants to make smoothies and milkshakes
• go to T's, but cant buy much as cant carry it!! Just need sanitary stuff (1st time for DD1, bless) and some milk
• towels drying on the line
• get a daughter to make banana loaf - have tons of bananas leftover from dd2's stall at the school fayre
• get a daughter to hoover

Ok - that's me for now.
Welcome to new posters that popped up yesterday!!
Have a great day:A

Good Morning All! :wave:

It's a tense day today as DH has just left for a meeting which will determine whether he will have a job in the future, so sitting here worrying, but going to make it a busy day and hopefully the time will go quicker. I'm going to:

.......

* Walk the dog for an hour or so, which should also help shift a bit more weight, have lost 1 stone 5 pounds in the last 4 months, with another stone to go to get within my healthy weight range, so heading in the right direction.

Hey Mazzy,

I will keep my fingers crossed for OH - good plan to keep busy though! Also, well done on your weight loss!

Morning All :wave:
That "sneaky ways" thread is brill, and definitely a help on the small DFW things

We're having a lovely day pottering around the house doing bits of DIY and tidying, after a hectic weekend visiting both sets of parents at either side of the country
So today WE (Popeye & me :heart2:) have/will:
had a nice lie in
Brunch of stuff in the fridge (Maybe brunch is cheaper than Breakfast + lunch?)
Popeye is finishing the painting I started
I'll plant the freebies we got from parents
We'll shop in Lidl with our £5 off £30 voucher, and because it is next to the DIY shop and a Body shop we'll visit them too.
Redeem my birthday voucher in Body shop
Continue researching Cross Trainers because outlaws have given us money for one.
Pay in their cheque.

Unfortunately I will have to pop in to my old job and explain something that my replacement is having problems understanding - e-mails weren't enough

Have a great day everbody :A

Morning all!

Good luck with all the DFW ways today

Today is pretty busy for me, visiting friends and family before my hols So I've:

~Done surveys, clicks
~Checked online banking
~Bring snacks with me to nibble on my visits
~Walk to all the family (likely they all live within a mile or so of me :cool:)
~Give blood
~Cash in overpaid bus journey to cover coffee with a friend
~get books from the library

Won't be a NSD for me, but hopefully will be a LSD...

Hope everyone has a great day, its a beautiful sunny morning here :T

Morning all!

it's so lovely here today - sunny and windy so I have washed and am drying 2 loads of clothes on the line.

Also eating some homemade spelt bread for lunch. I make it in my breadmaker (I can't eat wheat) and it costs about £1-30 per loaf . That might seem expensive but it's better than the £2-50 odd a spelt loaf costs in the supermarket! Plus it's so much yummier!!;)

I can't say it's a NSD as I had to pay 2 bills this morning but it will be a LSD for me.

Mazzy, I hope your husband has good news today x
