• Start sewing up knitting
• Use up lemons - lemon curd perhaps??? Think I can do this in SC.
• Tidy tidy clean clean - determined to get the flat in a decent state by Friday - really want to paint this weekend and I want that to be my only task, rather than just catching up with day-to-day housework.
• Pack up parcel for return - free collection arranged for tomorrow
• Wrote a list of everything I want to buy… Let's see if I can hang off for another week… Payday in 11 days y'see.
• Yoga at home. Perni - got a reply - said their website can only hold 6 videos at any one time. Not so good.

Think I heard someone say we find out about our payrise today… :dance: Not that it will be much but hey ho.

I sent my sister £20 she wasn't expecting.
I updated my DFW diary.
I got a template letter from here and will write it up later to tell Lowells I'm not paying a SB debt I probably didn't even owe.

Hello all

I have been one of those AWOL from this lovely thread- been a weird month with both me and OH having work issues.. Upshot is that I leave at end of month which is a good thing but in parallel OH hears about whether he has been made redundant on Weds. Although it wouldn't effectively for ages if it did happen..it's been a wee bit of a preoccupation!

Anyway yesterday was a NSD. First in ages..yay! We also skyped a beloved friend in CHCH New Zealand..first time we have spoken since the earthquake there and I am still amazed that such a great quality communication can be FREE!

Today was less good as paid a friend our deposit for our joint family holiday but on otherhand good to get it out of the way. Also paid back my sis some money..but no other spends. Had leftovers from Sunday roast (duck which was reduced in the Co&p too) in a Chinese soup. Had no noodles and rather than going out for some I used pasta. Tasted fine! Good actually! Hd no bread and instead of going to the shop I put on the bread maker. So feeling kinda like we're on right track!

We are also keeping an extra tight record of our money..given everything that's going on. As ever groceries and doing stuff eg. Pub, meals out, cinema, entertaining friends are our downfalls. But OH ha made another batch of HM beer! Much cheaper!!:T
