Good morning everyone, wow, work has been busy this morning. Can barely keep up with the emails never mind do anything else! Time for a coffee break me things LOL

• Have a NSD
• packed lunch. Lovely salad sandwich, yoghurt and if get munchies later I have kit kats in the drawer
• Tea tonight is sun dried tomato chicken and rice from stores
• batch cook some mince and pots & some Jamie oliver beef hash for the rest of the week
• going to have a night at home with dd tonight - watch biggest loser for inspiration
• enter all food on foodfocus
• catch up with friends online
• following meeting with CAB - going to write to all my debts to give them a heads up on the DAS. Might try go see the bank and ask their advice re payday loan. REALLY dont want to have to change my account but could possibly get a new card and change the 16 digit card number - need to find out if there is a way of blocking said company from setting up further direct debits on my account - lots of horror stories on here.

ps. Loved the vet story - there are some great one liners on a facebook group called 'the stupid things pet owners said to their vets' - if you get a chance, have a look

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining in! I'm not in debt, but really need to keep spending to a minimum while I'm in between jobs!

• done Onepoll/Pigsback, still to check Toluna polls later
• done surveys
• got email from Quidco, getting payment of £3 odd soon
• work on job applications for casual positions
• was hoping for a NSD, but need milk so I'll walk to the shop and make it a NPD instead.
• need to update diary with exciting things like when car tax, insurance, MOT etc is due
• will make a rough mealplan for the week and also write into diary
• might go for a swim later, not been for ages since it's so cold! But this would mean taking the car so might wait until tomorrow and combine trips
• got a text from my PT seasonal job saying they need staff for a function next week :j
• all meals from storecupboard and HM

Sadly any efforts to save money today are a mere drop in the ocean when compared to the money I have "spent".

Boiler has been struggling for months, even though only 5 years old, and could not face any more mornings with no heating or hot water so have taken the plunge and had a new one fitted.

Full condensing, A efficiency and optimising (not sure if the last will really make any difference though) so hopefully gas bill will go down a bit as a result, but probably be years before break even as the old boiler was not massively inefficient, just very flaky!:(

On the plus side, I've eaten soup for lunch that was on last date of Use By - so avoided wasting any money there and I can still count it as a NSD as I have not left the house whilst engineers been here except to walk the dog and didn't have to pay them today.
The other thing I have done is move as much money round as I can so the maximum is paid on my debit card (so avoiding a 2.5% CC fee on most of the invoice) but the relatively small balance (£300.00) will be on CC at 0% thereby making sure I get Section 75 protection though I will incur a small fee for that bit.

Hiya!
Sorry I haven't been on for a day or two - funeral etc - but all over with now and back to normal with work.

Haven't had a chance to catch up really but hope you're all well?

My teeny list for today...

• Checked banks - not good
• Walked dog twice
• Took lunch to work
• Storecupboard tea
• Ignored petrol light when it came on just as I got home (only work 2 miles away so I'll carry on ignoring it for a day or two!)
• Stay in tonight and watch telly - good stuff starting tonight
• Have a bath and a relax for the first time in weeks
• Cleaned kitchen

That's it - not fascinating reading - sorry!
