Tuesday 18th January What small DFW things will you do today?

DawnW

No work today - but not a fun day as I had to go to the dentist first thing :eek: and need in a bit to go to the hospital with DD later. She had a health problem 6 months ago and had to have some really horrible treatment :eek::eek: so we are both hoping very hard that it hasn't come back

I think I will need another day off to get over it :eek:

On a lighter note though:

S*ntander have at last found the cheques they managed to pay into somebody else's account before Christmas, and credited the money to my account :T

AND they have sent me 6 bottles of wine to say sorry :T:j

Did a bit of shopping and paid with Nectar points

Pennies in pot

DD'S wedding dress has arrived :j:j It is absolutely beautiful and only cost £85 on Ebay. It looks as though it cost loads! I must now think of a way to keep it nice till July :eek: I may wrap it in a double sheet and hang it up - if anyone has any better ideas, I would love to hear them! It is really HUGE (as in very full, loads of silk, not that DD is huge :rotfl:)

Later, if DD is ok, I will:

Make a fish pie for supper

Make a cake to use up some of the huge assortment of dried fruit that I assumed that I would need over Christmas for some reason

Load of washing

Make OH iron his shirts (bad housewife alert :rotfl:)

Dusting in lounge and bedroon as my dark wood furniture looks dreadful :eek:

Tidy inside car as it has to go to the garage tomorrow morning. It is an automatic and the gear thingy (not called that, probably) keeps getting stuck in the 'park' position. I keep forgetting to leave it in Neutral, and having to wrestle with it to get it to be able to move at all :eek:. More expense :mad:

Have a nice day, everybody.

Can I be nosey and ask what all your jobs are? And how you manage your time,am thinking of getting extra jobs myself and would appreciate a bit of inspiration!

I am secretary for a local organisation so get £100 a month to cover duties I do etc, but the hours I sometimes put in can be quite a lot one month and then few another, but I see it as a little help along.
I waitress at local football club so thats a couple of hours every home match.
And I work for my parents a few hours a week.

I am quite lucky in the fact I work for myself so can be a bit more flexiable on my time and can do things whilst working on my own business ( though not that lucky as my company hasnt started to make a lot of profit yet hence the extra jobs.) I try to do the extra work at the weekend and evenings if possible and my family do say to me that I seem to be doing something all the time, but then I really want to clear the bills and get some money saved so should be worth it in the end.

Hope that helps.

Sazzledazzle- wow, I can barely cope with one job, im very impressed at your determination.

Im taking it easy today, so my list is quite small!

* Had a LSD, had to pop out and get milk and fruit
* Read newspapers online
* All food from stores, chicken is defrosting for dinner
* Coins in loose change pot
* Need to pack up and post ebay sales at some point today, when I can get off the sofa!
* Will hand do a hand wash later and hand outside as washing macine still wont work.

Have a great day everyone xx

If you can use a duvet cover (light one of course so as not to stain) and the 'opening' end can go at the top round the hanger and just be pressed studded or button up, depending on style of said duvet cover. Then - a few days before the wedding, get it out to air, make sure it is out of sunlight, hang it up on top of wardrobe and put up ironing board and drape skirt over ironing board, so it's not creased!

I like your thinking, only thing is if I eat even one then I'll eat half the tin ...... none so far

Afternoon all

List for today.. I have/will...

Pay off my last CC with an interest rate on it. Only 0% one left to go, have made an overpayment to this today too :j
Tea from stores
Lunch out - work will pay
Update budget sheet as final payment for our sofa on 0% has gone out :j
Quick tidy round
Lots of work

Call HMRC and query the demand they send for £1300, not sure how this can be right when I have completed a self assement for the last 10 years :mad:

this is more my kinda thinking (I always think when I'm torn between something I SHOULD do and something I WANT to do if I got run over by a bus tomorrow and I am lying on my death bed would I be glad I did it or glad I didn't? Invariably it leads me toward hedonism :T :j)
