Late poster! Weekend is nearly over!

Was up at 3am (combo of 4yr old being too hot and me being pg and uncomfy and hot!) so started decluttering!

Today I have:

• Sent huges amounts of non recyclable clutter to the skip (hate skipping but couldnt be helped)
• Have sorted decluttering "finds" for freecycle.
• Clean all of the kitchen drawers etc out- found some useful coupons!
• Have done my online shop which is coming tomorrow (Its like a poor imitation of Mother Hubbards here and little top up trips cost a fortune). Used free delivery which took £6 off, delivery was for £4.50!
• Clipped coupons etc from baby mags and put them in purse, rest discarded.
• Checked banking.
• Defragged pc (not necessarily MSE but more efficient now!).
• Sorted my desk, lots of unopened stationary found (I'm a stationary tart), have vowed to not buy more until used!
• Coins found into jars/pots.
• Frezeer/cupboard meals.
• Lots of general organisation done which will make me more efficient/more inclined to be organised regardless of hot muggy weather and hormones lol!
• Budget/to-do's done for the week

To do:
Jellies to makes up from sachets in, cheap puds for all!
Smoothies from dubious fruit (stolen from previous poster- thanks!)
Final check of surveys/online assignments to do etc.

Early night!!!

Mornin La E, Lotte & Olive :wave:gosh I felt like someone had hit me in the head with a sledge hammer today - so tired!

Yay its the weekend :j I intend to do as minimal chores as is possible (am really tired of the scrimping and saving, 1 more month is my mantra but it is becoming tired now) and we're off to a festival today :jexpensive but should restore my soul

I nearly got fish & chips take away last night, but at the last minute changed my mind. Thank god! Whats the point of scrimping throughout the week if we're going to go and blow £15 at the weekend?


Ok after surveying yesterday's list my weekend list is:

• water plants did on sat just need to remember today...
• [STRIKE]quickly tidy kitchen[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]hm bread[/STRIKE] need to make another...
• [STRIKE]work out grocery shopping costs & update Grocery Challenge[/STRIKE] (I did much better last night & have spent aprox £55 for 5 of us although will need to get a couple of bits but ds gave me £10 on Friday and ds' friend should be giving me the same today)
• [STRIKE]hang yesterday's hc out[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE][STRIKE]hc [/STRIKE]& hang out[/STRIKE] ended up doing 4 loads (3 at 30, but one needed a bit more oomph) & line dried
• [STRIKE]check banking if paypal has gone into bank swap it to od acc[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]make flapjacks & cake[/STRIKE] (using dessicated coconut used for curry the other day )

almost forgot. We need a new shower head & hose, we went to B&Q & it was £6 for the head & £14 for the hose. So decided to get one online. Have just bought a hose on ebay for £3, have found a couple of heads as well just need to check the size of my current one

OK for Sunday I

1) Drank homemade iced tea instead of buying pop (we have tons of tea bags we both never use)
2) Started a debt free diary
3) Used the failed mash from last night to make rosti for lunch
4) Updated my 'kitchen journal'
5) Came back onto this forum to keep up the momentum!!!

• 1 x Onepoll survey...was screened out of the rest
• Reduced L/Film package, saving £7 a month
• Paid £7 saving as extra payment to target card
• Lots of HC & line dried
