Hi everyone , not been here much latley but trying to keep up DFW as much as possible. Have a really tight month having had some time at half pay - should just make it through with minimum payments and being as frugle as I can.

So far I have :

• casserole in slow cooker with lots of veg
• batch cooked bolognase adding in lentils to go in freezer for a couple of meals
• batch cooked veg and made into soup , freezing in bags for work meals
• made some SW cookie dough which will be a nice treat for later - keep DD happy as no sweet treats this month
• 2 x HC on line
• posted claim for for healthplan

Still need to :

• check banks
• do some comps
• do some surveys
• good clean and tidy all round

Freind staying tonight , we are going on a murder mystery do 'up north' tommorow which is fortunatley budgeted for. She wants us to have a takeaway tonight which will hit my budget .
I also have to find money to sort out my tyre , have my spare on atm thanks to a nail and need to sort this asap.

Right 3 hours before freind arrives , best get moving !

Hi annabeth & welcome :wave: the more the merrier x

Candy a year's budget???!!!! how on earth is that possible? Please tell, it seems far too complicated for my simple mind. Very impressive! :cool:

enjoy the zoo jonno x

{{{hugs}}} amara :grouphug:

Ok was going to reply to everyone, but feeling a bit hungover so just going to say hello to you all

the band last night was really cool, a little older taste than mine, but cool nonetheless. Really glad I got the tickets as I wouldn't have gone otherwise.

Something soooooooo funny happened, Chris Jagger draged me up to dance on the stage in front of everyone! :rotfl:there was a moment when I nearly crumbled (I'm quite shy in some respects) but thought "blow it I'm here I might as well let go & enjoy it" so I boogied on down in front of a couple of hundred ppl!



today I'm going to take it relatively easy as its my day off

• still need to get the bike out of the garage not quite out but easily accessible, gonna get oh to help me put it in the car when he gets back
• 1 trip to the tip now that we can access the garage we can start clearing it nope
• make banana bread for week nope bananas had had it
• [STRIKE]hm bread[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE] go to cinema for free :j (via seefilmfirst) to see mumma mia with dd - free drink & I bought sweets the other day[/STRIKE]
• might clean the car - although I say this I probably won't! as predicted :rotfl:
• go for a run nope
• [STRIKE] check banking[/STRIKE]

I totally under estimated how terrible I felt, drank way too much red wine but stuck within budget

I also have

• made chickpea & sweede stew using up the sweede that wouldn't have made it another day. Will freeze some
• cooked some sweede to mash & freeze
• did a wee bit of housework
• had a NSD :j

ok that's it for me, hope everyone has a fabulous day x


(ps am I going mad, did the thread have a smilie face yesterday? I swear I gave it one but today it wasn't there???)

Morning all!
Amara - so sorry to hear about your dog - its awful when the time comes isn't it? Big hugs. xx

Welcome to AnnaBeth - hope you find us a happy friendly bunch!

Got quite a lot done yesterday - even the school work that I hoped to do. So today is a bit like this.....

• Taken dog to the park already this morning - he doesn't understand clocks changing
• All food from stores
• Clean bathrooms
• Write lessons for years 10 and 11 - that means that all planning and marking for the forthcoming week is done and hopefully will lead to a less stressful week
• Put picture up that sister bought me for looking after her dog
• Checked banks -should manage to get to payday without being overdrawn:T
• Start thinking about Xmas shopping
• Text sister to ask about Xmas pressies
• Phone mum for a catch up
• Change bed when OH finally gets out of it!
• Wash towels
• Put dry washing away
• Pay council tax online
• Pop to shop for Halloween sweeties for kids in the street

That's it for now - hope everyone has a good day.
