Good morning all and thanks for starting a new thread.

For the rest of the day I will

• Finish sorting out the magazines that I have piled up on my sitting room floor. (Started yesterday but I kept getting distracted) done at last
• Do the polishing done
• Move the £10 I got from the Purely Creative Cheque that arrived today.(look them up on the boards if you've not heard of them. They're those stupid cards that say ring this 0906 no and you might win a million.) I do the postal way and though it costs me 5 2nd class stamps I'm still quids in when they arrive. I just put the money in my rainy day fund. done
• Mark the year 9 work that I have sitting looking at me from the other side of the dining table Yep it's still there I just couldn't get round to it yesterday done at long flaming last
• Cook dinner (chicken and gammon pie from leftovers) Was going to do this yesterday but my lodger was stuck in Bucks so I just had some of the filling with boiled potatoes. Will use the rest for the pie proper tonight done it's in the oven now
  
  Hmm didn't plan on having to unconnect and reconnect, sky box, dvd, tv, sound system and barb box AND re connect them too grrrrr last time I dust behind the telly:eek::eek::eek: Got it all working again apart from the barb box (I'm one of those households that supplies data to british audience research bureau - you know the people who tell you how many people watched eastenders on xmas day) They're coming on Friday to sort it out.

.

Have a good one all:santa2:

Morning all.

Today have told sick OH to stay in bed all morning. means that i wont have to put the heating on till he gets up as he has such a temperture that he is keeping himself warm.
have done valued opinions surveys and one poll.
Am working again this today even though orginally planned to finish last friday, hoping this extra work will pay off.

Going to do today:

• Clear office and desk so that I have a fresh start for the year and can find the bits I want to get done before xms.
• Update my target board for Jan
• Check internet banking as OH got paid today but so much is going out so need to work out what we have left if anything.
• find a two boxes so one can be things for Ebay and the other for the bootfair.
• Tidy up downstairs
• Finish wrapping presents so I can check I have everything and write list of anything else I need.
• Write a list of xmas goodies food to get. Will spend most of it at MIL but would like a few treats so that we can have one or two nights in just the two of us.
• finish my diary of bills for 2011, nearly there
• Store cupboard dinner of egg and chips as have about 10 eggs to use up, see if OH will eat.

Hope everyone has a great day, I am hoping for no more snow as need to do my lil extra job on Thursday.

Hi all, how are you on this snowy morning? I got paid a day earlier than expected so I'm feeling rather happy about that! :j


Things I've done today:-

• Checked online banking
• Sorted out my DMP payment to come out today instead of tomorrow
• Changed DD for mobile over to new bank account
• Transferred money to another account to withdraw (new bank card hasn't turned up yet, boo!)

Things I'm going to do:-

• Buy my new cleanser/toner/moisturiser in a 3 for 2 offer in Boots
• Change DD for gym & car insurance to new bank account
• Go shopping at Sainsburys for last minute Christmas food/drink (got some good offers on at the mo so going to check them out!)
• Get my friend a coffee from Costa as I owe her one
• Give my other friend £5 that he kindly lent me yesterday
• Not drinking tonight at the pub as soft drinks are far cheaper!
• Exchange gifts with one of my friends before going pub

So all in all a really busy day! Got loads to do before I go to my Dad's for Christmas - not looking forward to the 2 hour drive from Essex to Suffolk on Thursday but looking forward to Christmas dindins!!

Happy Moneysaving you lovely people x

Littlekel, I have a voucher for currys that I'm not going to use. It will cover one of their basics hand blenders, I got one the other day. If you'd like it please pm me your email and I'll send you the link to print it out. It needs to be used by xmas eve.

Afternoon all

Today I will only spend change (apart from going out for a little meal tonight, but I am leaving the country) as I can't get it changed back
Also left all my lose cents to a housemate to take to the poor box- better than in my drawer for another year.

Also going to update my spend spreadsheet.
