    Had a quick nosey at Fay's diary yesterday - think she's ok just busy and trying to limit her internet time - come back Fay we miss you!
  • Morning everyone,

    Slightly later into work today so will have to have a short lunch so I don't lose flexi. Big dark clouds here now - it was really sunny when I got up so I've got a summer dress on and no coat with me so looks like I'll not be going out at lunch time... means I won't spend any money though :)

    My list for today: -
    • check on-line banking
    • check surveys
    • one load of washing out to dry but think it's going to rain :(
    • bring lunch into work
    • tea per meal planner
    • go for a swim after work so no NSD for me £3.40
    • make HM bread tonight
    • try and not eat sweets at work!! (if it's on this list I might do it ;))
    That's it for me. Have a good Wednesday everyone :) x
    New starting debt 30/12/2018 £30,164.76:eek:
    Revised debt £29,361.70 2.66% paid

    Just got home after walking to Cartridge World with the dog (further than I thought!) to the neighbour that never speaks to me in her front garden with a parcel that the postman had given her for me.
    After "talking" to her (being talked at) for 20 mins I came inside to unwrap a package from FemFresh!

    Two big free packs of wipes and wash - haven't bought them or can't remember asking for them as a freebie.
    If only she'd opened the package!:rotfl::rotfl:

    I must have filled in a survey/questionnaire at some point - oh well, at least they're free!

  • Afternoon Everyone

    Been to allotment today, went on bus to see if this was doable timewise, so that I don't take dh into work at silly O'clock in the morning and feel knackered all day, 45 mins from door to lottie isn't bad it takes about 20 mins in car, but you have got to factor in the 22 miles I drive so I can have car, and no disturbed sleep, and probably not a lot more expensive.

    Have beetroot, beans and more beans from allotment
    Have checked online banking, trying to be very good before holiday
    When I have finished my "tea break"
    I will go and collect ds bread from chemist
    ring another prescription in.
    Freeze plums I cooked last night
    Cook more plums to freeze tomorrow
    Make vegetable mix for pasta and freeze
    Make fish pie and pasta bake for dinners tonight and tomorrow
    Bit of baking if I get time
    Oh and some forms filled out for client, so I can pop them in tomorrow or friday
    Sort remainder of clothes for holiday
    Washing on line dry, found some more washing to do

    Think that will do for me, see how I get on:D
    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly

  • My SIL gave me a piece of cake today it was chocolate courgette cake, yum :D

    I have bagged up cooked plums for freezer, just simmering courgette, onion and tomato mix for freezer to go with pasta, and have some cooked beetroot to freeze.

    We are not allowed chookies on our lottie.:(
