Morning all,

Thanks for starting the thread off Milly

I'm already starting to go slightly mad and I've only been on maternity leave for 3 days! 5 weeks until my due date and I feel I will have seen enough JK to last me a lifetime!

So my DFW list for today:-

• [STRIKE]Feed and water cats[/STRIKE] All done
  
• [STRIKE]Check banking - its payday![/STRIKE] All in and up to date
  
• [STRIKE]Check for surveys and complete[/STRIKE] Why send them when I dont qualify for them?! :mad:
  
• [STRIKE]Put dry washing up away[/STRIKE] All done
  
• Wash carpet at the back door
• Write a few reviews - Have done 1 so far
  
• Email friend
• Carry on tidying the nursery
• Get OH to sort out office

Think thats it for me so far, trying to do little bits each day as I'm aching quite a bit but it seems that doing a little each day keeps the house a lot tidier!

Hello, gosh where is everybody? Had to hunt you all down to page 3!

Milly - I've got a bit of sparkle I won't be using today so you can have that!:)

Today I:
1) Went to work for 6 hours
2) Have walked every where
3) All meals from stores and packed lunches for all
4) NSD!
5) Checked banking, quidco did SC etc
6) Signed up for a different mobile PAYG tariff which should save at least a fiver a month.
6) Am currently waiting for my dough to rise as I am baking my own bread to avoid spoiling my NSD!

I disn't get a chance to post yesterday but I was walking T home from school and we were given free ice-cream in the street by the local radio station. Today we are on the website.

Hi everyone , not been up to much for a few days as not been well again ! Dr thinks the stress has given me an ulcer So that was £18 on prescriptions the other day and now waiting for more tests .

Am better today though :T and rang work to say I will definatley be back next week so only a few days at half pay.:)

Had a quick review of my finances today and am impressed that I have more than I need for christmas from surveys / cashback / loyalty points :T Gonna keep at it as we deserve some treats this year.

Did another snowball and despite my unexpected outgoings and not being able to overpay for a little while I have still knocked a few more months off my debt free date. Hoping to start working on this a bit harder soon. Overall much happier about my financial position than I was last year.

So apart from that today I have :

• Sent complaint letter to Asda head office - may not achieve much but I feel better for my rant
• Checked online banks and shuffle some money
• Done some postal comps with old stamps found at dads , hope he's looking down on me
• Bought a lottery ticket for friday - it could be me :rotfl:
• 2 lots of HC on line
• Doors open to freshen up house
• Got teabags at Tesco with free voucher from comp
• emailed GP rather than spending ages on phone
• gentle housework
• organised redilvary of royal mail item via website rather than 0845 number - hope its something nice
• entered some comps
• done a couple of surveys

Got lots to catch up on , huge list for tommorow :eek:

Hello :j

Haven't posted for ages due to mega work stress, now temporarily eased off...

Milly, take care. Make sure you get all the help from college you can get. Make an appointment to see your tutor + student services, and pm me if stuck (used to be FE/HE/OU lecturer).

Today:

Checked online banking and moved expenses money that has just appeared to savings :T

Parked in cheaper station car park (always depends on whether I have enough change for the ticket machine - the more expensive one takes cards, so have to use if stuck)

Read free paper on train to work

NSD

Brother has turned up, as he tends to do when he has no work and nowhere to go :mad: I can never turn him away though, even though he does drive me (and OH) mad at times. Not v. MS, as I have him to feed as well And he leaves lights on, uses lots of everything etc Grrr - must stop moaning! So, rest of pie I made yesterday for OH and Bro's tea, omelette for me.

Dried washing on line (miraculously, it was damp and cold this morning and raining hard now, but managed to get it dry in between - no mean feat as I have been at work all day and not here to watch it)

Gone round the house and turned lights off behind brother :eek: I feel a nag coming on :rotfl:

Amara

Amara

Hi everyone :wave:

Milly - I know the feeling. It can sometimes be v daunting at the beginning of term, just make sure you take it one week/assignment at a time and don't think about what's due in total IYSWIM. When you get through one assignment, think about the next and before you know it they'll be coming to an end.

Today:
- brekkie at home
- lunch from the freezer
- leftovers for tea
- yoga tonight
- tidying up
- early to bed
- pennies in the jar
- didn't dry my hair
- bought cheap wool - task for sunday

Roll on the weekend!!!

Night everyone x
