Hello all, late post as had a busy morning before work.

I used DD's friend's carpet cleaner yesterday and the carpet looks amazing! Used shampoo from cheap shop and cost a total of £3. And to think we nearly replaced the carpet at Christmas as I thought it was past saving.


So far today:

• ran DW overnight on Economy 7
• checked banking
• fed and watered chickens
• prepared dinner - chicken and ham loaf
• made lunch to bring to work

I will also:

• read book at lunchtime to avoid shops
• get paid by 2 egg customers
• charge mobile at work
• all meals from meanplan/stores
• make beetroot chutney from allotment & foraged goodies
• have an NSD

That's enough for one day!

Hi folks quick post from me before I go out again , will read through and update later.

Today I have :

• Been to Occy health who report fit to work with phased return and lots of positive support - ball in their court now.
• Emailed occy health report to union rep and waiting to hear next move - i suspect I may be moved to gardening leave as I doubt I can work there whilst the union are pursuing my case.
• Went to butchers and got a huge hunk of braising steak very cheaply.
• Put half of braising steak in slow cooker with dubious veg etc - that should do the 2 of us two meals.
• Posted DDs ebay items and got reciepts so she knows how much she owes me - I will get it back !
• paid for october mini break - boy do i need that

And I will also :

• Check online banks - just plucking up courage:o
• Do some surveys - so close to another voucher I can smell it
• Do some comps
• Keep an eye on mine and dds ebay and list some more
• ring salaries and wages and find out about pension (this may be tommorow realistically)
• Tax return
• look at costing packaging for cakes i'm thinking of selling.
• Smile even though my heart is breaking

What a great place this is. Am feeling the virtual hugs coming through thank you DNMS

Good afternoon everyone,

Determined you really are such a lovely wonderful person, what a lovely way to start the thread!!! hugs to you!!!!

Well....

- head focused..
- mind engaged...

just need to get body into action!!!

This morning I got up alot earlier than what I have been, yes even with a baby! I even managed to get out the door by 10!!

So far I have:

- walked to the drs instead of driving! (money saving and exercise!!)
- completed a health cash plan to claim some money back for recent hospital stay.
- found last budget list to update way before the end of the month.
- found £4.50 worth of tesco vouchers!
- checked online banking - oh so depressing - ive been a silly girl for sure! enough is enough!
- had all meals at home from stores so far!
- washing done and hung on the line - regardless of how grey it is!

I need to do:

- walk to local shops to collect prescription and to post tax credit and health cash plan forms
- resist buying anything from the shops!
- list items on ebay - have some bits sitting on side which I want to put away out of sight!
- check oil and water in car! been meaning to do it for days now!
- bring washing in and put away
- keep telling myself I can clear the debts and be money savy!!!

I watched a program over lunch called gutted.. a team of people came in to a house and cleared the haulders stuff out into a lorry then she had to remember what there was in her house, oh my got this lady had so much stuff. They then send the stuff she couldnt remember to the auction to make some money. Well this program has really inspired me to have a good clear out and stop keeping things I may use! My house will look like this ladies if I am not careful! So time to clear and make some money!!!

Hope you are all ok! x

Hi

Everybody else seems to post loads of what they have done today. Mine seems quite trivial in comparison but I have completed my first mystery shopping trip. As a result got a free lunch from Subway and £4 as well. Only hope my report is good enough and they actually pay me otherwise it is a very expensive lunch!

Have to say was incredibly nervous even though I was only ordering a Subway.

I am sure the next one will be easier!!
