savingforarainyday

Afternoon already:eek:

Great to see lots of new people on thread, and of course everyone else:j

Hugs to everyone who is "fed up" for one reason or another

determined new ms. Try not to panic about meeting, if this is first round of discussions, hopefully all they are doing are sounding people out, maybe seeing if anyone does want a move and see how to facillitate it. It may not be as dire as you think.

My list today

Still to check online banking
forgot to bank cheque for old mobile phone:cool:
Bought two bedrolls for £1 each for overnight woodland camp in september.:)
Was going up lottie to plant seeds but spent too long in town:(
Took ring in to jewellers for advice about selling, they said take it to a specialist jewellers or auctioneers as it was too much of a "princess ring" to scrap.;)
Posted all my broken jewellery hopefully will get about £45
Banked Rainbow subs, so will be able to get rent payment up to date and paperwork done:T
Won £20 on a scratchcard (I think I could count on one hand how many times I have bought one of these, and I have won a couple of £5 in the past:D)
Dinners must be from store cupboard (payday on Thursday)
Go hang washing out
Last rainbow meeting until mid september going to indoor play area. I must be mad:rotfl:
Text parents to remind them they need socks for play area:D
Check email for reply from solicitor
Ring my mum
Tidy kitchen and sort washing hopefully no ironing:eek:

Will return later for motivational update.

Ooh! Wannabe - me too! I was looking for one this morning, think I have found one for Sat AM, I would like to go and see if I can get some jam jars (making jam - that's the new project )

I'm looking to sell things as I am totally gutting the house and getting rid of anything that is not required. I done a boot sale a couple of weeks ago and made £200:j

some yummy garlic bread, have some $ainsburys Ba$ics baguettes in the freezer, so shall drown them in butter and pummel them to death with garlic (it's a good way to go if you ask me!)

ooooo that reminds me I'm going to make some sundried tom bread in my bm this afternoon to go with the homemade pizzas for tea tonight (have a jar of sundied toms that have been sitting in the fridge for probably as long as I've lived here - 2 yrs )

found a recipe to make croissants as well :T

no if you're saying what I think you are, currently working full time for an organisation which is going through a restructure.

Am working from home today - hence dipping in and out of the website!

why do you ask?

ust if they were restructuring without you working, there are routes to take, but not the case.

I have just got back from a friends house and has suggested i do a 'wet art toddler group' throughout the summer hols...could be a good way for some extra cash to pay off debts if can get enough people! Im not going to get too excited as might not happen!

went to the haor dresser for much needed cut, last one for a while and she felt sorry for me so knocked some cash off!

I am so tired from being awake since 3am worrying that hopefully Aquafit will tire me out enought to sleep lots tonight!

Hi everyone - fingers crossed for you DNM, I am sure it is just a formality.
Today I:
1) Went to work for 6 hours, and collected a parcel on the way to save fuel.
2) Packed lunch and all meals from stores
3) Checked banking, quidco, SC etc
4) Bagged two free screening tickets for the A Team.
5) 2 online surveys
6) Returned DVDs
7) Nipped into Laura Ashley next to the DVD shop. I managed to resist most things in the sale but bought T a lampshade for £5, and a tin of eggshell for £6 to paint an old bookcase.:j V pleased as was actually shopping for both items in Homebase yesterday, and didn't buy any cos they were too expensive. Yay!
8) Made cards for T's teachers using photos and materials from present stash.
9) Made a payment to my CC. Only a small one as like many of us here, I am waiting on money owed to me by B's Dad. He is skint because his girlfriend has bought too many clothes.:huh:

We are meeting OH at the pub on his way home, to do a quick pub quiz.Hopefully we will have some winnings from a couple of weeks ago to cover the drinks! Enjoy your evening, L x
