    morning all

    stressy late morning today as I couldnt find my bus pass when I was about to leave the house. I fear it may have slipped out my pocket on bus last night. Gutted I had to pay £1.30 this morning and potentially again for next couple of days as well as £3 for a replacement.
    • phone bus company re lost bus pass (need to call back again about 4pm)
    • input diet coke codes
    • check monopoly codes from McD's
    • free cinema tonight - white little lies
    • use starbucks card for coffee and get free syrup
    • complete bonus application form and get it sent in (deadline today)
    • check online banking
    • check progress of DAS - CAB are still waiting on paperwork from my companies and things are very slow/communication poor but I am still very grateful!
    • look after doggie whos tummy is looking a bit more swollen today so hoping that we are in week 5 of pregnancy
    • party that I was outbid on the car on ebay!! :rotfl:
    Think thats me today. Focus will be on tracking said bus pass or replacing as quickly and economically as possible.

    Hi Guys!
    I've missed you all so much, I've had MSE withdrawal symptoms! Move went really well and back at work today with not too much unpacking to do. My OH has extra holiday, so will hopefully carry on the next couple of days and I can help when I get home.
    Our house is gorgeous, a real grown up house, I love it.

    So anyway, today, I have/will:

    - signed up for 15 NSD's
    - checked banking, all seems ok, updated signature to reflect money paid of cc
    - bussed in using bus pass
    - bought lunch in - leftovers from mothers day buffet (did anyone watch HFW? He had some great ideas for lunch)
    - aiming for NSD
    - bought milk in for work (get it on the shopping and then it lasts all week)
    - as we sort i will see if there is anything else I can ebay
    - check onepoll, pigsback and maximiles
    - all searches through swagbucks

    Can't think of much else, its really lovely to be back xx

    Afternoon everyone! It's taking me a while to get around to everything today, it seems.

    So far I've:
    • checked online banking
    • moved some money around
    • made chiili in the slow cooker
    • been to the local uni to take part in a trial (then picked up a parcel from sorting office on the way back)
    • checked for/done surveys
    • done shopping lists and menus for the week
    • laundry on line outside

    Still to do:
    • comps
    • lunch on leftovers
    • clean the house up a bit - far too busy at the weekend to keep up with it!
    • bake a banana cake with very dodgy looking bananas!

    Hope everyone has a good day :D

    Pack lunches for all boys and OH - DONE
    Lunch from stores for me - DONE
    Put already ironed clothes away - HALF DONE
    Need to do week's meal plans
    & prep tonight's dinner

    Cancel DS1 tutor for this week (as he's away) - DONE
    Ask OH for his P60 so I can send off for OU funding
    Take boys to sandy park after nursery/school - friends house instead

    Afternoon all - just back from weekend in Wales for mummys day.
    Had a nice time but no good for diet or bank balance - oh well, its only once a year!

    I actually managed on £10 less petrol than I thought I would but spent £30 on my half of the lunch out yesterday (sister paid the other half) so am £20 worse off than budgeted for - could be a lot worse I suppose?

    Anyway, my little list for my first day of official Easter school hols ..... (2 weeks off:j:j)
    • Do a quick stock take to see what OH has bought food wise over the weekend and make a meal plan and shopping list to see us through until the weekend and the big shop
    • Pop to Mr T for the bits needed - would like to spend less than £20 if possible
    • Unpack bags
    • Maybe do one load of washing if there's enough to make up a load
    • Have leftover curry from weekend for tea
    • Walk dog in the rain:(
    • Update budget and DFW diary
    • Have a little tidy around
    • Checked banks
    That's all I can think of for now - will probably do more later - I get bored sitting down doing nothing - although it is my first day off and I may just have a rest!

    Hope everyone has a good day!
  • Afternoon all, I'm a bit late on here today as it's so bloody busy at work! New people starting and 3 people off so it's gone chicken oriental lol :rotfl:

    Stuff for the day:-
    • LSD - Under £8 for my lunches for the week including Activia yoghurts!
    • Free tea/water at work
    • Borrow decaf. teabags from home to bring to work
    • Keeping track of my food in food diary as I've been diagnosed with IBS :( elimination diet to follow
    • Checked online banking
    • Free South Beach diet plan on About.com
    • Work hard!
    • Move around living room furniture
    • Chase up creditors for outstanding balances (not had responses from anyone!)
    • Make my own mayo as I go through so much of it!
    Hope you're all having great days - thanks to Pixie for starting us off and hey to all the newbies :D

    Hello All,

    I am just back at work today after a week's holiday so it's been a shock to the system to say the least!

    Today I have done the following:
    - checked online banking
    - completed 3 surveys
    - made leftovers for lunch

    And when I get home tonight I am going armed with my camera to take pictures of stuff in the huge hall cupboard that I plan to sell on eBay. My boyfriend doesn't know it yet, but I will be raiding some of his stuff too :-)

    Have a good day everyone!
