Hi everyone :jHope You're all having a great weekend.
List for me. I have/will:
Collect item won on eBay. Lovely seller gave me another toy for free! The 2 toys would have been £120 new and I paid £5.50:eek: I may put some money in her paypal account to say thanks. I did contemplate it when it was for sale, but thought it was a bit excessive. But feel a bit guilty now.
Meals from stores, tea from planner
Popped to c0stc0 and got some bits we needed
Washing on quick wash. Dry naturally
Get ready for busy week ahead
Think that's all. Enjoy your day everyone0 -

hello everyone
came on here to cheer myself up. Ive not spoken to another human adult since leaving work on Friday. How depressing is that? For the first time in four months I am SO missing having a car. I think I may have to see if the budget can allow me to pick up a wee runaround. Ive just lost so much independance, freedom and chance to see friends at weekends and in the evenings. Feeling a bit of a loner
So today my list is- create new ebay account to check for cheap cars
- create new paypal account (both were shut down after someone bought something from me using a stolen card and I had to pay it all back , and I lost my stuff and had to pay massive charges - swore I wouldnt use them again but its one of best places to pick up a car!)
- use work computer for internet and to get me out house - will also therefore do an hours overtime in exchange for electricity etc
- each biscuits and drinks from my desk
- charge ipod
- print off past paper for dd homework
- check banking and cc
- payday tomorrow
- check all dd's and SO's ready to come off ok
- print off paper work for bonus meeting with boss on Tue - lots of prep work still to do
- check how to make different dishes using tortilla wraps - bought too many on bogof offer and am bored with just filled wraps now.
- do washing on quick washes and try to get them outside for last of sunshine - wont get dark till about 7 tonight!!! SO excited
:j I love the longer days

Helloooo everyone,
Another busy day for me...but a rather productive one really, washed all the floors, changed the bunnies bedding, done a bit of gardening so we'll hopefully have less weeds & more grass lol. Finally dealt with that census form too...
I also had some lovely news today - I am going to be an auntie again! So really excited about that
DNMS - I have thought about that, I need to keep checking for suitable dresses, trouble is there's so much carp on there as well to sift through!
DFW-wise I have:-- Food from stores
- Dinner from meal plan - our first attempt at a roast gammon which actually turned out very well! It was a huuuuuge joint of meat & I think there's enough left over to feed us for the rest of the week :rotfl:
- Had heating off for most of the day
- Charged phone via pc since it's on anyway
- Checked for surveys - none
- Entered comps
- Checked online banking & had a LSD
- Logged calories on free app
- Done some more washing on eco setting & hung up to dry
- Finally found that £10 voucher, wahey
- Sold 4 items on ebay :j Only 1 person has paid so far but I should have a very nice sum of money coming my way soon
- Bought some grass seed using £10 voucher OH got free from work - the bunnies will be happy there's more to munch on lol
- Went to see another wedding photographer - it's decision time now! I think we are going to go with this guy which works out to be quite DFW as he only wants £50 as a deposit & we get the copyright so we can print our own parent books etc instead of spending £200 each :eek: Horrendous what some places charge...plus the quality of his albums seem so much nicer then others we have seen & he seems to know his stuff.
:idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:
:dance:Current Debt: £0 :j
100% paid off!
:think: Savings Goal for November 2016: £5000 :cool:Current Savings: £1176.24 _party_
23.52% Saved!0
