morning everyone :wave: (up early enough to start us off today :j as I am on call and received a call from a young girl who is worried she is becoming unwell
(I work in mental health) poor thing)
this weekend:
- [STRIKE]file away mountain of paperwork[/STRIKE] yay while doing this I realised that I have now paid off the debt in rent arrears :j have been paying this off a year & in fact we are £2.26 in credit :rotfl:
- list 3 things on ebay
- 1 NSD not any chance

- [STRIKE]go get head lights & fuse changed in car - nice man at the shop said he'd do it for me today (for free) if I go down first thing
[/STRIKE] ok it cost me £16.98 in parts, but becuase it was really difficult & took 45 mins (I have a KA & I needed 2 headlights changing, a fuse replacing & my stereo was sunken into the dashboard which now isn't
) I bought the guy a crate of Stella for £12. I thought it was a small price to pay for his generosity - [STRIKE]dinners & lunches from stores[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]get trout out of freezer for today & chicken in the fridge for tomorrow[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]go for a run tomorrow (week 1, run 3 :j, it steps up a bit next week _pale_)[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]keep house tidy, but no cleaning as Mrs Flylady has seen to it that there's none to do :j[/STRIKE]
- check for surveys
- [STRIKE]contact AA savings as I forgot my memorable film (turns out its not so memorable after all
) and have locked myself out of the account...[/STRIKE] - [STRIKE]1 load of hc in already & line dry[/STRIKE] x2

- [STRIKE]check banking & transfered some funds[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]dragged myself away from ebay before I did something drastic like spend money![/STRIKE]

- lay tiles on bathroom floor
oh doing not me
, looking good (a little p1ssed, but I'll gloss over that as I have put zero effort in
)
, oh well it is the weekend
hope you all have a fab weekend x
well all I can say is if anyone wants me to forward the running scheldule let me kinow. It called "from couch potato to runner in 9 weeks" and I feel fantastic! I NEVER EVER thought I would enjoy running!
also I have
popped to supermarket & got fresh fish portions x2 reduced from £2.78 to 35p :T (so that 2 extra meals ), bag of pots which will last the week for 40p
also intend to make my own yorkshire puds (instead of buying ready made) as I have eggs that need using quickly & lots of milk
, so that's a saving of 50ishp 
off to update sig re GC. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the day xDF as at 30/12/16
