    Tonight OH is taking me out for a meal and the girls are at their Auntie's overnight

    Onto DFW things

    Cheap potatoes boguht from farmers market
    Walk the mile home from ballet resisting the girls moans to catch the bus!!!!
    Got given some second hand tap and ballet shoes from a friend - will save some money
    My boss sold an item for cash yesterday. Gave me a fiver as a gift from his 'cut' rather than it going through the company (he is the owner i will add!) So i suppose the £5 covered most of my prescription
    Using DD2's birthday money for clothes - helps me as i won't need to get her much for the winter especially as she is in school clothes most of the week!!

    That has been my last couple of days.

    Unsure of what we are doing tomorrow! Maybe a walk - something free! :D

    Morning all , sunny but nippy here today.

    Have loads to do and will be pleased if I achieve a third of it this weekend.

    Romylou I watched Idiot abroad for first time last night. Fantastic and has been set to series link. I actually went to china a few years back so it really brought back memories.


    This weekend I hope to :
    • Check online banking - ok looking forward to payday monday
    • transfer CC balance to a 0% card
    • Take DD for jab -done
    • Take back baby clothes I bought as a gift for DDs freind who is no longer a freind town was awful , big match , will do it next week
    • list some bits on ebay
    • lots of baking
    • make a shopping list and do online shop- done , coming tommorow and got quite a bit and below my budget
    • do some comps - next
    • do some surveys
    • pot up baby tree from freebies board
    • check freebies board
    • do at least 1 x HC
    • do some stuff for my cake buisness
    • sort out tax stuff
    • cleaning and tidying throughout - this is low on my list of priorities though :rotfl:
    • spend a bit of time in garden
    • get DD to cut and colour hair for free -done and used a freebie hair colour, starting to feel human again
    • think what to do with fridge freezer - might just freegle it - offered on freegle to a lovely polite person
    • try and remember to get some tea bags with free voucher from comp - got the tea bags but forgot to use voucher - but they were on offer
    • go to market for cheap veggies - didnt bother due to problems in town
    • freeze free green beans ex FiL gave me other day - done
    Theres actually probably more to do. Will make a start while DD is still getting dressed . Have a productive Weeekend folks.:T

    Have wasted a lot of time today doing nothing much. But have ordered a new food processor that was half price with free delivary and get co-op points too. Have also gone to my co-op membership site so my 'divvie' will be paid via bacs rather than coupon.

    Need to get into gear tommorow , fridge freezer being collected and house is a touch untidy :o.
