    Check bank - took 50 out, spent 20 but paid it back to self out of the ps3 money - so an NSD with extras :D
    Check quidco
    Check onepoll
    Check email
    Sell ps3 and games (got 105.50 for, so that was nice - spent 40 on a ps2, 2 controllers and 9 games so pretty chuffed)
    Try and eat - not feeling so bad today
    Washing on and drying on rack/in bathroom
    Need to make dinner - probably salad as my tummy can take that
    Play on ps2
    Sort out anything that needs doing.

    Tomorrow:
    Flylady flat
    Human hoover flat
    Wash bathroom and kitchen floor
    Sort out clothes and take ones I don't wear for the charity shop
    Read Shakespeare

    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!

    • 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.

    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
    That's it for today - have a good day.


    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:
  • :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 :D
    • 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 :D). 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 :D
    What's not to like!

    Have a good Saturday all
