  • Morning Peeps,

    Honestly reading all these threads could become my full time job, there is so many good ones and I want to read them all but think OH will kill me.

    Today will:
    • Will wear my glasses to save a pair of contact lenses.
    • Turn heating off and put an extra layer on.
    • Work till 12pm and then visit grandparents on my lunch break, make sure I am back by 2pm so I can work through till 5pm.
    • Work out how much money we need till payday
    • Work out what I have to buy this week ie SIL bday pressie, bread etc and plan to do it all on one day.
    • Check out if I have any surveys to do.
    • Do my second job tonight, should take about 45 mins and will earn about a tenner.
    • Omelette and chips for dinner to use up th eggs as OH fancied frozen pizza last night so having to rejig the dinner plan
    • Put the log burner on for 7.30pm when the OH gets in from the over time. He has been really good this week, gone in an hour early and worked two hours later yesterday and today.
    • Put WM on quick wash
    • Hang washing in front of log burner over night
    • Have a nsd

    Anyone know how long valued opinion vouchers take to be delivered as waiting for one from before xmas and want to use it for food and then use the tenner I would have spent to put on a credit card bill.

    Hope you all have a great day. :D

    Greetings, all! Missed the thread yesterday, back to MSE ways today:
    • Brought in lunch to work - I'm working on bulking out my lunches to stretch them a bit farther. I have been bringing in tubs of L/O, HM veggie chili, which last me two days at a go. So this week I am splitting that tub between two and putting it on a bed of bulugar wheat. I hoping that each of these new tubs will last me two days, so I should have the rest of the week sorted for only pennies more spent on some wheat! Quite healthy too.
    • gym after work
    • charge phone at work
    • walk home after gym
    • Booking OH in for a date night in tonight - theres a movie I want to see on iplayer (the men who stare at goats - the Patrick Stewart Macbeth is on there again, if anyone hasnt seen it! Its fantastic)
    • Dinner of leftover buttnernut squash soup from the freezer, with some olive bread I'll buy from tesco on the way home
    • Catch up on some vollunteer commitments - need to get agenda out for meeting next monday.
    • Check banking, update spending diary and work out budget for Feb (quite tight as need to pay for tickets to see granddad in America)
    Back to work then!

    I got my carpet but it was £10 so only £10 for food this week :( but it looks really good and I should be able to tack it to the old carpet :j....also got some runners for hall for £3 ea so that's that sorted till I can afford a new runner...

    Anyhow support worker @ 2.30pm and yet to get a wee bit of my W.R.A.P printed off (what little I Have on this pc) ...been so busy on click sites procrastinating this nap I need

    Finally realised I'm a little hyper (spring jumps) so if you don't see me for a few days bar Sabbath you know I've hit the hyper low (like a low but not a proper one cos it only lasts a day or two)

  • Thanks La escocesa, it hasn't been that difficult really seeing as I have no money to spend this month anyway!! But at least it gets me in the habit of not spending which is all good!! x
  • Hiya everyone,

    Phone line at home is down just now so haven't been able to go on-line since Sunday night!!! :eek:

    * thanks to Determined for starting us off today :)
    * Milly... yeh! for booking your holiday... I've just booked flights for us all to go away for a week in June (to see my parents who live abroad). Thought long and hard about it but I felt pretty down last year as I didn't go out to see them. Just need to be all the more dfw to pay for it :D
    * Sazzledazzle (love your username btw!) I opted to get an on-line amazon voucher which I got instantly so that may be another option for the future? Not sure how long the 'paper' vouchers take to arrive.

    I was at home yesterday and did loads!!! and was annoyed cause I couldn't post my list here, sad eh!! :rotfl:

    My list for today: -
    • check on-line banking (will update spreadsheets once back on-line at home)
    • quick tidy of house tonight
    • breakfast and lunch to work
    • snacks to work (banana bread and fruit)
    • try and not eat sweets at work
    • do not spend anything at work (not an nsd though as gave oh money for milk :()
    • hope that phone line starts working later on :D
    That's it for me. Have a good day everyone :) x

    Check my online banking Done
    Use some leftover mince in the freezer to make a shepherds pie Done
    Try to only drink one mini can of diet coke at a time (I ordered them by mistake, instead of the bigs ones, from Asda- but I am now thinking that if I can drink a mini can when I would usually drink a big one I might be able to cut down a bit!!) Done
