    Good morning everyone,

    It's my birthday today so I don't expect to be too DFW as my OH is treating me to a meal out somewhere, my choice, & although I'm tempted to be good & go for somewhere with a voucher, my favourite restaurant is calling me! It's not horrendously priced fortunately & you are guaranteed a good meal. I will try to do a few small things at least to make up for this :)

    DNMS - Oh dear, hope you feel better soon & manage to book a nice week off to relax! Also hope you get that last 95p soon.
    Stitchy - Well done, I patiently await the day I am in the black at the end of the month!

    Today I have/will:-
    • [STRIKE]Food from stores [/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Make use of free coffee/water/milk[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Heating off for as long as possible [/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Charge phone at work [/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Log calories on free app[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Log expenditure on free app - should be a LSD for me, not so much for my OH[/STRIKE] :rotfl:
    • Bank cheques received :D- Ran out of time as post office queue was so long!
    • Email wedding photographer to confirm :DRan out of time...
    • [STRIKE]Post ebay sale[/STRIKE]
    • Package up sale that was paid just after midnight ready to post tomorrow - may do this tomorrow actually...
    • [STRIKE]Check ebay to see if the final 1 has paid[/STRIKE]
    Have a great, moneysaving day everyone x

  • Morning everyone :hello:

    Been off here for a few days, think I need to manage my time better especially in the mornings, I'm terrible!!!

    Working late tonight and DH is taking me in so I have a bit of extra time this morning :)

    So my list for today is:
    Washing on quick wash then hung up before I leave.
    Check online banking
    Check for quick surveys to do this morning
    Dinner from stores
    Weekly shop after work - aiming for £20!!! (DH is a big guy and eats loads :eek: ) We'll see how that goes!
    Claim extra 3hrs for work done yesterday :D
    Sort out recycling tonight

    Think that's it for today, have a great day all xx
    :jDebt Free Day - 2nd Feb 2012 :j can't wait!!
  • Don't regard it as a weekend off - you'll be working hard as a stitcher's assistant (and making tons of decaff coffee) :rotfl:

    don't forget I'm as lazy as hell & my sewing teacher famously said I am good at sewing but "painfully slow" :rotfl:

    yay but think of all the fun we'll be having :j

    compliments that's the spirit! Glad to hear you're feeling a little bit better. As someone who suffers from depression too it really is important to reduce stress as much as possible, as well as eating well & exercising regularly to keep the blacck dog in its placex

    Morning all :) And happy birthday to pernicious :)

    I'm feeling rough today, and would love to go back to bed, but ever onwards!

    My list:
    • Off to Morrisons with list and daughter
    • make soup
    • dinner from stores/menu, made during the day so there's no cooking to do after shopping
    • washing outside on line (looking a bit dubious out there though)
    • sort out a few financial bits and pieces
    • checked for/done surveys
    • do some comps
    • painting (one of my March aims was to paint a room, and I'm getting there, albeit slowly)

    Hope everyone has a good day :)

    Morning everyone.

    Not really feeling very sparkly this morning. Although general ache has gone, I'm feeling very tired after watching a stupid film last night! Plus it's dark in the mornings, what's that about?!

    Listypops:-
    - Check banking
    - Pay nursery fees
    - Update spreadsheet
    - Check for VO voucher claim
    - Do some surveys
    - Meals/snacks from stores
    - NSD apart from fuel
    - Keep on top of bonus labour sales
    - Phone BT on lunch break
    - Landscape gardener coming tonight to quote for levelling lawn. More out of interest than anything else as prob won't be able to afford to have it done proffessionally.

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