    Hi all and special birthday wishes to Stitching witch!!:beer:

    Today we have had a LSD of £4.60.. yippee.

    I also checked online banking and made a mortgage OP with the money we put in the bank account last week from our spare change/ sealed pot type thing in the kitchen.. (£182.. it was from quite a while!)

    But did switch on TD to fast dry 2 school shirts for DDs tomorrow so very poor organisation there.. Naughty and VERY environmentally unfriendly..think we should get rid of it and get a under the worktop freezer for loads of HM soup etc instead. Would be much better..hmm will think on that one. See what Freecycle has on offer perhaps

    Evening everyone . Stitching Witch I hope you are doing something more fun and interesting at this time of night on your birthday. Have a lovely evening :beer::beer:

    Wow what a day , my feet haven't touched the ground. Just sat down after leaving home at 0630 this morning - haven't seen daylight all day as stuck in the office.

    My list :
    • check online banks
    • all meals from stores
    • work hard
    • swap shifts for a few appointments rather than waste annual leave
    • Went to see film for free with DD via freebies board - even DD was impressed which is an achievement for a teen.
    • Look for more films
    • keep heating off as long as possible
    • check ebay and ebid - have bids on both
    over next few days i need to :
    • persist trying to get through to lovefilm to cancel
    • Get tyre sorted - am driving on spare due to nail - can get a new tyre at kwik fit but DB thinks local tyre shop may be able to mend tyre for less.
    When it rains look for Rainbows
    When its Dark look for Stars
