Morning La E & Katsu (and everyone else)! :wave: urgh rainy rainy day here today (but on the birght side won't have to water the toms tday ) Feeling a lot better than yesterday but still not 100% so will do some work from home today rather than going into the office :j will be good as I have a presentation to prepare for Tuesday evening so will be able to do that quickly without any interuptions, also will be saving petrol

ooooo I did my day zero project 101 list whilst I was bed bound yesterday (but only did 86 as I wanted to leave a bit of space for things that may come up over the next 2.75 years!) I will post later...

This weekend (going to take it fairly easy and not over do it)

• [STRIKE]hm bread [/STRIKE] oh did this morning
• make chocolate bread in the bm (last attempt didn't turn out too good )
• [STRIKE]cupboard, fridge & freezer inventory (see how many meals I can eek out before going shopping )[/STRIKE] practically a whole week! Just need to get a few bits - meat for 2 days, fruit, box of wine (essential item I'm afraid )
• [STRIKE]write up meal plan & shopping list[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]prepare spare room for next student coming 1.30am [/STRIKE]:eek:
• [STRIKE]check banking [/STRIKE] absolutely no change, but it makes me feel good to check it anyway
• [STRIKE]quick house clean[/STRIKE]
• read book (must be more committed to my book )
• [STRIKE]make a cake (oh has requested this!)[/STRIKE] made chocolate fairy cakes
• get up to 700 posts
• [STRIKE]go fly a kite[/STRIKE] ha ha ha - was well funny!!! Definately not ticked off the list yet, will definately take some practice :rotfl:
• [STRIKE]hc x2 & line dry[/STRIKE] folded & put away

Ok even writing the list has sapped my energy! Happy rainy Saturday eveyrone x

[STRIKE]

Kel. my list doesn't include anything adventurous either. I know that the next two years are dedicated to becoming debt free and starting my business. My next list, starting in September 2012, will be far more exciting than the current one.

I've kept a note of everyone's user names on Project Zero so I can keep up with how you are doing. I feel a little responsible for you all. :rotfl:

Hi everyone! :hello:

I got my first plants for my new veggie patch today!! :j Got 3 herbs (basil, thyme and rosermary), some potatoes that will be ready for Christmas, compost and my Mum bought us a gorgeous lavender plant! Very very excited!! Yippee!!

We're doing a fun little version of Come Dine With Me as a wee game tonight - we are each cooking a course and we will mark each other on it! I think we'll probably all give each other 10/10 though!!

Going to read back over the other posts now and see what you've all been up to. I have to get on to my 101 in 1001 days list as well!!

Good evening everyone!

Very late in posting today, and I didn't update my list last night... oops! Got home from work and my brain was fried so didn't go on the laptop at all.

Today's been a good day, although not very dfw ... day out with DH and DS... to a couple of parks and out for lunch, although I did have a half portion to save some money

Anyway, what I've done so far: -

• made tea for tomorrow per meal planner... beef stew
• made HM quiche for tea tonight
• took bottles of water out with us to parks so didn't need to buy juice

As I said, not a very dfw day .... so still to do: -

• check on-line banking
• update meal planner/food budget spreadsheet as big shop done yesterday
• check surveys
• make HM rolls for lunches at work during the week
• make HM bread
• get washing up to date
• hang out washing (weather permitting)
• free outing tomorrow (Sunday)... possibly the beach?
• car insurance soon to be renewed so start shopping around

That's my list so far

Welcome perfectpeaches... I joined this thread only a few weeks ago but find it really helps me. I actually find myself making sure I've done everything (or almost everything) on the list before I update at night

Have a good Saturday night everyone x

Evening All

Back from the 2 families meetings....some good and bad bits! oh well....

Came home with lots of left overs so they will feed us for the best part of next week....lots of moneys saving!

Wee-Jo - yay to growing your own...a small start, I have a fab RHS book 'growing veg in containers' full of loads of ideas and top tip, runner beans in hanging baskets etc... cabbage inbetween roses etc....itseasy to do and you will get lots of tasty yummy stuff!

Everyone seems to be very industrious so far today...i have sat in sun and showers and drank wine, let the OH drive and ate too much not great for the diet!

Tomorrow - a flask will be taken to carboot so save the horendeous amount they charge or water the has had a tea bag waved over it or a hint of coffee granuals added to it..plus the stuff am taking to sell...not loads but should hopefully be able to get rid of most of it that way i dont have to bring it home! Also going to try and sell some of my homemade apple and ginger jam!

Have a good evening and will update you after the carboot!

Morning La escocesa. Thanks for starting the thread. Bit of a cleaning focus for me this weekend.

* [STRIKE]weekly RM posting return[/STRIKE] done
* tidy the kitchen and clean up & declutter the worktops made a start
* clean out DH car and fit new seat covers - too much rain, hoping for a brighter sunday
* HC (pleeease let it brighten up enough by tomorrow to dry outside)
* return expensive dress to shops had a nap instead, will go tomorrow

Also have done:
* short trip to Mr M for cheapest fuel in town. Filled tank and got points on miles card
* got just over £40 of shopping at Mr M - hoping to get through most of week on it, but will need more granary bread for lunches.
* started meal planning for camping trip next weekend.
* got a bargain warm top in the local charity shop, plus some bargain cards for my card box (so much cheaper than visiting card shops when I need one).
* doing my take a break puzzzles with DH. Nice to share them and one day we will win
* posted a treat to great uncle and aunt - used recycled packaging.
* posted off Mr T voucher for free magazine subscription bought with clubcard points, saving me the cash I previously spent on the subscription.
