Glad you sent it angelflower. I bet there were loads of peeps doing the same 'quickly post it run away from the post box' move this week

Hello everyone, not been around much the last few days as not been too well:(, nevermind, it's the weekend!

Not at all a DFW day today - why does everything run out at once?

Had to get dog food (£23), petrol (£25), cat litter (£9) and dog's medication is about to run out too, tried to order online and it's out of stock with no delivery date quoted. A bit worried as only enough for about a week - it's extortionate at the vets so may try phoning the online place on Monday.

Went to bed when I got back from shops and only just up so I guess the fact the heating's been off all day is a plus!

Snoop, congratulations to your DD.


Have a good night everyone:D

Lots of washing on, dry inside on airer
Food from stores, meals from planner

Continue on mission to use stuff from cupboards and do next week meal plan, have used loads, meaning created more space and also lots of good food :T
Early night as DH out and I don't feel too well, be good to catch up on some sleep
Check banking, quidco and one poll

Have a great weekend everyone

I posted this on the frugal thread but thought as we always seem to have washing/airing mentioned in our lists, it applies here just as much!



Why oh why I hear you sigh
Can I not get my washing out, on the line to dry

There’s washing hanging in every space
Oh what a mess it makes of my place

I’m trying to be good and not give in
The tumble dryer makes such a din

But that’s not the worst thing it can do
It makes the electricity meter clunk up too

So roll on summer and the shiny days
When washing is easy and soaks up the rays

My house will be tidy for those few weeks
It’s just in winter it seems so bleak

The snowdrops are out, daffodils near
And the sound of the birds I can hear

The days are getting longer, it won’t be long
Till the sorrows of winter will be gone

Lily - I got my sheets on the line today...that made me happy (am easily pleased;)). Great poem - I can't wait to be able to get the washing outside and not on a huge airer in my small kitchen/diner all the time. Won't be long...Spring is in sight:D

:rotfl:It's funny how something so simple can make so many people happy! :rotfl:

Mr Sun took a while to arrive today and didn't hang around long enough for me to get anything out! It's just "sods law" that I have at least twice as much washing in the winter than summer and it's sooooo much harder to dry. (The dog has a lot to answer for!)

Winter seems to have lasted for ages this year, think it's 'cos the snow arrived so early but there's def signs spring is coming!:D

I will also:

• [STRIKE] make two batches of Millie's cookies for a party this afternoon[/STRIKE]
• see if there's anything to ebay
• [STRIKE] walk to birthday party and eat 'free' food[/STRIKE]
• start putting up lining paper in [STRIKE]bathroom and [/STRIKE]toilet room
• [STRIKE] keep checking for surveys[/STRIKE]

I'm sure there's loads more, but DH is rattling on in the background and I can't concentrate. I'll be back later to update

Well there was loads more of course! I also:

• had all food from stores
• sold a jar of HM Grapefruit marmalade for £2.50 :T
• was given half a dozen part-baked mini baguettes by a neighbour
• had an NSD

Today's list:

• clean out chicken coop - in the rain! Should have done it in the brilliant sunshine yesterday
• put the lining paper up in the toilet room
• possibly start painting the bathroom if the lining paper is dry from yesterday
• all meals from stores
• have an NSD

A quiet day today I think. I'm reading all 187 pages of ceridwen's Simplifying Life thread so lots of relaxing time for me today.

Morning everyone

didn't post yesterday wasn't a very DFW day. Took DD1 and DD2 to cinema and to the shops new make-up and eyelashes and underwear for DD2 and goodies for DD1. it was a lovely day together but spent too much so back to it todat.

Today I will:
do the food shop and try to keep to budget
3x washing on 30 degrees
Change all the bedding
do a tidy
work out what I'll pay off when I get paid on Tuesday

Need to go to Argos to pick up an iron I reserved more money but my friend gave me the one I am using just now and it's not great. Hopefully new one will save me some time.

have a good Sunday everyone.
