This morning I have checked online banking (not spending today)
2nd lot of washing in. On line
look at ideas to use up courgettes, they are taking over the world
Walk little dog, she is in a barky mood today, so I think I will take her on a longer walk. Barky Dog walked and combed, this is money saving as I will save electricity.... not so much hoovering

Couple of hours work this afternoon
Start clearing drawers in conservatory that we used to store stuff when ds was home ed.
Measure 2 pairs of summer jeans I was given ready to turn up for holidays
Make sure ds sends off forms to accept place at college. He's done the first bit, sent an email, with a promise to come down and fill in the form later, which is fine as I don't have the money for the resource cheque until tomorrow anyway
Dinner from freezer/storecupboard Dinner is pasta and veggies from the allotment and half a packet of whoopsied sausages chopped up in ours and left over chicken for ds

So today I have/will:- 15 mins on the cross trainer - no gym membership :money:

 - ask Barclaycard why I can't BT when a BT was the only reason I applied for a card :mad:
 - contact RAC about car insurance - we've paid, but they cancelled it! :mad:- though maybe we can get our money back and SORN the car?
 - do the couple of surveys in my inbox
have a great day everybody. :A
