Sat 2nd/Sun 3rd April- What small things will you be doing this weekend?

Pernicious

Hi everyone,

All this time off work has turned me into a bit of a night owl again, hence the strange posting time!

Anyway Saturday has been a very lazy day for me, lots of sleeping, lots of lounging around after a fantastic night out for my birthday but I did have a NSD & did a couple of DFW things like keeping the heating off as long as possible, & claimed another £10 voucher from surveys etc.

NTBY - Thinking of you, I know you're sad about it but I like to think that if 2 people are meant to be together then they will be, maybe now just isn't the right time. Just do what feels right & it'll turn out for the best x Also...what is a boda boda? :rotfl:
Amara - Good luck with the job.
Congrats to DNMS & Jonno on giving up smoking! Have a chat with my Dad will you please?

So today I plan to:-

• [STRIKE]Enjoy a free meal round my friend's house[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Have lunch from stores[/STRIKE]
• Put OH's car up on ebay since it's a free listing weekend apparently - run into some problems here...:(
• [STRIKE]Washing on eco setting[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Hang up to dry[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Visit both my mum & my future MIL as it's mother's day, hope they like their flowers from Mr T's![/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Log calories on free app[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Log any expenditure on free app - but aiming for a NSD as we are picking up a few things for the house using vouchers earnt through surveys[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Heating off for as long as possible[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Charge phone via pc[/STRIKE]

Hope everyone has a great, moneysaving day x

I will also:

• [STRIKE] send DH to collect DS2 from station whilst buying odds and ends
• hang washing on line[/STRIKE]
• clean out chickens
• [STRIKE] take meat out of freezer for tomorrow's dinner
• make bread[/STRIKE] - DH bought some
• re-jig budget to include my overtime payment of £244
• go to allotment and start building the raised beds
• plant veggie seeds
• write some "copy" for my website
• get into the sewing room for a few hours
• meals from stores
• [STRIKE] have an NSD[/STRIKE] - hopefully another one today

Done a few, but was in a real CBA mood yesterday as DS3 came to move his furniture out. He's been staying with DD since October and had decided to make it a permanent arrangement. Sad stitchy :(

Onwards and upwards.........

Morning ladies :wave: you know what they say about the early bird! Josie have you got the 15% MOV for B&Q from the newsletter?

I've been up early too - as always! Have decided as have had quite a rough week I will not set myself up to do too much this weekend...

I have already:

• done a couple of onepolls, hit £40 :j & requested a transfer :T
• checked baking, shifted funds between accounts, topped up savings account with £5 rewards x 2, wrestled with the figures & then made an extra payment to the ISA - will have to make sure I am frugal until the 20th!
• went through CC statement online
• reconciled the above with my spending diary - I think I am on top of this now, but I find it soooooo hard to do

I also intend to do the following:

• [STRIKE] wrap & post ebay items x3[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]send dd a letter - today![/STRIKE]
• go check tyre pressure as have to drive to Surrey today
• [STRIKE]maybe do a meal plan?[/STRIKE] If I do freezer/fridge/cupboard analysis first! Need to be very clever around food for the next 7 weeks :eek: as we have 2 Thai girls staying as foreign students so feeding a family of 5 adults now :eek::eek::eek:
• [STRIKE]maybe go shopping?[/STRIKE] not sure I can face it...
• definately go for a run & also go to the gym
• [STRIKE]hang out washing on the line[/STRIKE] - its lovely here
• [STRIKE]do another load using soapnuts[/STRIKE] :T
• [STRIKE]explain soapnuts to ds...[/STRIKE]

try to get my sparkle back x

wow I never get my whole list done! so now I need another small list

• go[STRIKE] for my run [/STRIKE]- which I didn't do yesterday
• make pack up for tomorrow
• update spending diary [STRIKE]& GC[/STRIKE]
• make apple crumble to use up apples
• [STRIKE]
• make fairy cakes while the oven is on - carrot I think to use up!
• [/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]try to return/exchange necklace that is broken[/STRIKE]

• [STRIKE]go & look & see what shoes I want to buy[/STRIKE] - I have raised the money through surveys & ebay so they a\re free & have stuck to my one in one out policy (sold 3 items, will try to sell another 1 so the shoes can come in ) need to decide if I want them or the money more....
• list 2 things on ebay (rock_cakes I saw2 your mammouth listing very impressive!) i did 1

I can't think of anything else I need/want to do!

have a lovely sunday everyone x

Erme

Sorry have not been on for ages...been very sick though thinking about you all and now daily agendas are bottoms up as I think I have a chest infection

Also had a huge barney with another thread (the normal thread I have barneys with) so rebelled and got a mac book on HP (finally confessed two weeks later) partially cos my windows was playing up and partially cos I was rebelling. Initially started out with an ibook but couldn't get it to behave and then couldn't update the O/S so that's that. Debt snowballing here we come :T

So yeah waiting patiently for my £15 from the bookshop I'm owed (beginning of next term) and like had a fab break in Inverness last weekend which did me more good than the last admission. For anyone visiting the Highlands there's a fab community charity shop in Dingwall that's well worth a visit - think it's called the Greenhouse or something...first one on the left as you get off the bus and walk up the high street. Blew budget but had no monies anyways

So first target is to not dip into my OD end of every two weeks and do little pads (so I don't dip into OD) and then go from there. Put cashback in the other day so that'll be £100 in a few weeks...:D and once I get my extra 2 pc's sorted I can sell those dv or give them away to folk that need them (though it looks like I'll give one away and sell the other one)

Meant to do Ebay yesterday but was too tired with chest infection. At least the sun is out...discovered that Yahelite works lovingly on WINE on a mac....(yahoo chat client)..it's about the only one that doesn't need a virtual desktop (and they are either really nerdy or need money. I have/am neither...just a wannabe nerd)...Regret that I pay £350 more than I needed to for the macbook but tis life

Anyhow just to say I'll be back soon and feel free to PM in the meantime
