Glad you enjoyed the show DNMS - I watched a bit of it.
Here's my list:- Wash the dishes
- List 1 or 2 pairs of shoes - almost new ones - and put the rest in the charity bag

- Look at my e bay listings to see if I get any watchers/bidders - sad but true!:p My gucci sunglasses are on at £20 ono :eek: - surely someone's gotta snap up that bargain!!
- Swimming & sauna :A
- Mini pamper sesh when I get back

- Pork shoulder joint in the SC :T

I don't know where today has gone I don't seemed to have stopped but at the same time I have got nothing done. Oh well I will hopefully get more done on Sunday. Hope everyone has a good Saturday night.
Not at all Wannabe01! You always get loads done!! Don't be so hard on yourself and just concentrate on the things you did achieve. There's absolutely nothing wrong with 'deciding' to do something the following day/week/not at all.

Hello all!
Starting yesterday we did a huge declutter/throw out/sort and my house feels much more user friendly now! We've disbanded the office so new baby can have a room of his own (yes, scan late July says all is well and it's another boy!), so have had stuff.... everywhere! Now have sorted all paperwork, I have a mini office downstairs, hubby in our room, I made him sort through and condense the IMMENSE pile of cables etc he was keeping "just in case" so it was a great Saturday!
Sunday (today!) - so far:
--Submitted till receipts & barcodes for sh0pandscan
--Done a £20.23 Musicmagpie order, to be posted tomorrow
--All surveys (etc) up to date.
--Banking checked
--Storecupboard meals all day.
--Made jelly up for poor mans trifle (just trifle and custard packets to use up, but me and the fellas like so no worries!).
--Listed some items on Freecycle, asked for one which would be a big help and save pennies if anyone has what I need.
--Checked freezer, cupboards etc and have adjusted meal plan accordingly, very little topping up will be required this week.
--Tesco shop scheduled for Thurs (extra points voucher to use too which will take me to over £62 this week - great as I keep my tesco points for Xmas, do a big food shop with them (basics mainly lol as we eat elsewhere on Xmas day) and then use the cash saved for last minute Xmas shopping as it stretches further for us that way).
Not a bad start. Will add anything else later
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.MSE-ing since 2007

) so am making these banana muffins in the oven while the chicken is cooking - I'm a pro at DFW now :j(and also had some soya milk that needed using up
)
