    :beer:Hi all

    Great to see such a busy thread. 3 pages..wow and on a school day too:D

    Pity about the forum being down during daylight hours..

    Today has been a quiet day working at home ( and DD1 sick but luckily she watched TV literally all day so all was achieveable) but:

    - paid vet bill..for shaving our poor cat..he looks very sad..if the bill was based on quantity of fur removed we have done pretty well! But apart from that a NSD..so a LSD...woo hoo

    - checked online banking. They want to reduce our OD. Now that's quite a
    good idea but 1) I have lots of work expenses etc and a time lag in getting paid back so like to have the buffer and 2) is this cos for some reason our
    credit rating has diminished? What does anyone else think?

    - HM dinner from freezer. Yum if I say so myself. Meat today but for 2 days
    previous was bean stew and lentil curry. Think we will try and not have meat
    every day. In winter it's becoming the default option but for all sorts of
    reasons, health, environment as well as cost think we should be having MF and diary free(er) ( latter as i love cheese- its my favourite food!) days every
    week.

    - ordered a reduced slow cooker from Natural Coll*ction sale last night. Have wanted one for ages but OH not keen...but am dead excited as think it will
    make cooking in evenings much easier.. And with both working outside home we are pretty stressed and tired in eves but still like to pile on the pressure by cooking from scratch..:rotfl:

    Think that's it. Have a good eve folks. Won't be online for a few days as away for work...

  • Not had a chance to red the thread in full, will have to do it in the morning if I get a chance.
    start it tomorrow then MP!

    phew thank goodness for that, that'a amazing, hope you go and treat yourself to a little something with that £1000 bonus you just got! :T

    OOOOO didn't like to being a newbie, but I will do tomorrow if I'm here before you. Just cut and paste the previous days first post I presume...
    OOOOOOO thanks DNMS, been sat in front of the laptop fingers itching to post for the day.

    Today I will

    Check bank - done, refund of almost £12 - goes to my cushion fund that is the £500 I like to keep in instant access as a cushion against life.
    Check surveys - screened out
    Charge the phone at work done
    Have a low spend day - petrol to get me to the end of the week and my salsa lesson yep £26 spent
    Take cereal bar for break and leftover curry for lunch done
    Free tea at work done


    I got my insurance sorted out yesterday, apparently I havn't lost my ncb so my insurance renewal will be £500 ish rather than £1500 How on earth do they justify the difference? :eek::eek::eek:

    Have a good day all

    Will read the thread properly later

    Night night all
