What are we all doing up so early on a Saturday?!
My dog is my excuse - bouncing on my head at 7am telling me he wants a poo! Oh well, at least he tells me!- If the rain holds off, take the dog for a good walk out somewhere with OH - found a book of walks yesterday and think we can attempt a "Level 1" walk - the easiest!
:rotfl:your dog Rachel!
Going to add the book about walks to my list - thanks for the idea
.
Been
Back from the walk (about 90mins long) which actually turned out to be quite muddy but very doable for a sit-on-the sofa type like me!
Dog loved it and there was a pub at the end so we had a well deserved pint after our efforts.
Definitely something we'll do again - in fact OH has selected the next walk already from the book.0 -

Morning ladies!
What are we all doing up so early on a Saturday?!
My dog is my excuse - bouncing on my head at 7am telling me he wants a poo! Oh well, at least he tells me!
OH is not working this weekend so it'll be company for me - a change from the week when I'm on my own all the time.
The plan for today..- Go food shopping armed with a list and try to stick to budget -did very well used vouchers from Mr S and nectar points to get £15.50 off the shopping and then used a £5 Clubcard voucher in Mr T to get £10 worth of dog food :j
- Put petrol in done, just £15 worth
- Do one load of washing and dry naturally done
- If the rain holds off, take the dog for a good walk out somewhere with OH - found a book of walks yesterday and think we can attempt a "Level 1" walk - the easiest! see earlier post - better than I thought it would be!
- Transfer money from savings to pay for clothes shopping splurge in the week forgot - will do tmw
- Stay in tonight and watch a film - changed plans, going fo ra curry tonight instead of tomorrow, due to too much fresh air making us starving!
- Tidy kitchen OH did miraculously!
- Checked banks
- Checked quidco
- Do any surveys that come none today
- Start looking at lesson set 1 - made a good start on the school work finally yesterday so have a teeny bit of enthusiasm maybe do some later, but realistically it'll be tmw now:o
- Email teacher friend to see if he wants to meet up to discuss new lesson approach as above
- Withdraw some cash - my £15 lasted me all week last week and I still have £1 left! done
Done quite well - particularly pleased with the shopping - off for an impromptu curry now (was supposed to be tmw) - the downside of exercise - makes you starving!:rotfl::rotfl:0 -
:j Hi all
I've had a good Saturday so far-- Friend treated me to breakfast in a lovely wee cafe in a lovely park

- Then walked for 2 hours in said park
- Grass cutting done for my friend (who can't manage as well as she did)
- Needed some shopping so went to Mr T and only got what was on my list (ish
). Every item I did get was either on special or I downshifted to some new Basics I'd never tried before. Cost less than £20 and means I will not spend anything until next Saturday now! - Checked online banking and all ok
- Fixed up my new spreadsheet to help manage the pennies better - quite pleased with it too :j
- All housework done and now sitting with my feet up on MSE

Have a good Saturday all
:hello:DFW Nerd Club # 13640 - Friend treated me to breakfast in a lovely wee cafe in a lovely park
