Friday 3rd September - What small things will you do today?

System

I'm relatively new to the forum and I'd never thought of making a list of things to do for the day. Would have made the six week holiday much more useful to me. It's been interesting seeing your lists. A lot of my spending seems to happen when I'm bored or not focused on getting tasks done. So thankyou I may try and do a list now. So far I have just dropped my Ebay parcels off at the post office and had breakfast. That's it, what I waste of a morning. Need to get focused

Hi everyone

Back from holidays yesterday so feeling a bit flat today, especially after looking at bank accounts, but hey ho:)

Washing (of course);)
Checked online bank accounts (like everyone else, need to tighten belt this month:o)
Store all holiday stuff back in loft
baking for ds for camping weekend
General tidy up in prep for back to work next week, so I am not drowning before I even start.
Rescue tomato plants, they are hanging all over the place
ring sil to ask how lottie is
check on offers at co-op when I am posting letter
work list for next week
meal plan for next week
friend coming for cuppa and chat

That is me for today, off to find string and scissors to truss up tom plants:D

Feeling quite good today, DS1 and DS2 are back at school and I have:

Sold some stuff on ebay (seem to have put in a lot of effort to get £25 but hey its money that I didnt have before)

Made some bread and a cake

Written a thank you letter to my Auntie and sent her some photos of the boys

Eaten up yesterdays tea leftovers for my lunch (it was a bit dry actually but at least its been saved from the bin)

Still to do:
Send last couple of ebay packages
Meal plan for weekend and next week
If I dont manage any other housework must get hoover out
Need to bring in first load of washing and hang second out

Right, I have got 2.5 hours before peace is shattered so best get moving!

My plans for this afternoon have all got wrong as I got a telephone call from the school to go and pick DS up as he had an accident. Poor little chap was sick all over his uniform so now he is up in bed watching his DVD.

Morning all!

Thank for starting us off Cat. Was good to 'see' Milly back on the boards yesterday and Mogchops too:) hope all has been well whilst you've been away

List for today:

Open freeze blackberries I picked yesterday, did suprising well considering recent weather, shame there would have been loads more but many damaged due to rain
[STRIKE]Tea from plan, should have had if last night but carried it over as DH had to unexpectedly work overnight so we needed something quick
Washing on dry outside
Check banking :eek: what is it about this month, a few of us seem to be on the same boat. At least we can paddle frantically together
List some more items on eBay did 8 yesterday, I agree with Determined, it's so tedious![/STRIKE]
Friend going to have old spare bed so need to think about taking it down - will help in the great spare bedroom declutter:rotfl:

Think that's about it. Have a good day everyone

In addition to the above I have cancelled my boiler cover with e*n. Claimed they had already automatically renewed (despite the contract not been up for another 6 weeks) and that they had been trying to contact me for a YEAR to organise a service :rotfl: Considering they have been out 5 times in 5 weeks earlier this year to sort a problem, when they could have easily serviced it and I have not had any other contact from them - I don't think they tried very hard to contact me. :mad:I still owe one month, but, got them to give to give it me for free due to the hastle of having no hot water for 5 weeks with a 8 week old baby Cancelled associated DD.

Have looked around for some cheaper cover, will do some more bits and then set up through quidco. Am also looking to change my energy supplier - I do get a bit nervous though thinking are they all as bad as each other - and despite me being fairly intelligent - all the tarrifs make it so complicated :mad: Do want to save money though.

Afternoon all! It's me (Rachel) in disguise!
I have changed my user name with the help of the lovely MSE people as I thought an ex was capable of "watching" me and didn't like it so here I am under a new guise!

Anyway, today....

• Will make tea using extra rice cooked by mistake last night
• Staying tonight
• Get stuff ready for going down south at the crack of dawn tomorrow:eek:
