    Morning all!
    Busy day for me today, not particularly DFW but will still try!

    List:-
    - Checked banking - no change
    - Filled car up with fuel £60 on top of the £30 ex put in yesterday (on CC) :eek:. Nan will reimburse me for this tho as I have already told her I can't afford the petrol!
    - Post ebay items at lunch time
    - May have to buy tights at lunch as having wardrobe malfunction with hold-ups! LOL as I work with mostly men this will not do! :o
    - Buy small birthday present for nephew at lunch time
    - Drive to DB2s tonight, dinner there, stay over
    - Lunch and snacks to work
    - Flooring being laid today, wasn't done yesterday (free)
    - Make the most of a rubbish diary
    - Keep an eye on ebay item, not doing very much!
    - Get wage slip today, check it against my calculations
    - Finalise budget for March pay packet
    - Check CC balance as it has been used a bit recently :o

    Jx
    Nothing to report as yet...give me a minute...!

    Hello!
    I've already:
    -had a shower
    -washed&blow dried hair
    -put dark clothes into washing machine and took them out to dry
    -ironed dry ones
    -wanted to bake a bread, but there's no flour, need to go to shop quickly
    -checke online banking
    -checked emails
    -I've been logeed on on my chatline for 1.5hours by now, no calls :(
    I will:
    -go to bank, I'm having appointment about my business overdraft, I'm aplying for one. I don't know will I get it, but worth trying
    -put some things on ebay
    -go to my two customers
    -cook the tea
    -do my running workout
    Then I'll see.
    I can read tarot cards, dare I say, I've noticed there was some negativity about these types of things on this forum. Once,about December time, I've signed up to one of chatlines as a tarot operator. I had a few calls and I didn't bother continuing. However, three weeks ago someone called me back and asked could I do some readings, beacuse they've runned out of tarotists. I said yes and talked for over an hour. They sent me payment, £11 :), so next two weeks (they pay fornightly) I've done more calls and today I received another payment of £32.98 :D Therefore I decided to challenge myself to be sign on for 100h in next two weeks (they expect only 20 per week) . See how it'll go :) Yes,yes, I heard it already "it's stupid", "they rip you off". It makes money. Let's try it and then I'll see.

    Morning all :)

    There was chaos here this morning - non-uniform days at school because of Red Nose Day - and donations. Should have been a bit more organised, I think! Anyway, all's well that ends well!

    My list for today:
    • checked banking
    • sort out girls' passport applications/have them countersigned at school (instead of leaving to the last minute and then having to pay extra to get them fast tracked!)
    • checked for/done surveys
    • do some comps
    • heating off
    • iron yesterday's mountains of washing
    • have started making bread
    • leftover fish pie for lunch
    • DD1 making pizzas for dinner tonight
    • adjust next month's budget to take into account council tax and water rates
    • bake some cake/snacky things to get us through the first part of the weekend!
    • attempt to impose some sort of order on the house before the weekend

    Have a good weekend, everyone :D
    2011 wins: 2 day gym membership, film download, NETBOOK!

    Hi everyone.

    Pay day today, so checked online banking, paid off a few bills and made a payment to my credit card as part of my 1 debt in 100 days challenge.

    Charging phones at work, and raided my hotel room of its toiletries before checking out.

    Back home tonight. Cant wait! :j
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done
