Morning all - first time I've made it here in the morning this week! DNMS - really hope the car gets sorted for you!

My list for the day:

• checked online banking - thank goodness it's payday for OH tomorrow!
• checked for surveys - will keep checking today, as I have several I am almost at the point of claiming payment for
• keep up to date with comps (not been too good on this lately)
• lunch on leftovers
• rest of the family (except for DD1 who is ill at home) took packed lunches
• dinner from stores/menu
• resisted buying coffee in uni cafe this morning
• use old bananas to make a cake
• laundry is all drying in the warm sunshine - how lovely is that?

Have a good day all

Ah well, onwards and upwards! I am feeling rough today with a sore throat and cough...

Here is my list:-
- Checked banking
- Surveys
- Left over chili for lunch / snacks from stores

- Update spreadsheet
- Lift another strip or two of turf when I get home
- Netball tonight, prepaid, will take own water and friend will drive
- Rode DB3's motorbike into work as DD has grandma day
- Hopefully NSD

I am busy having a blue fit over reductions in my tax credits! Holy crap we have lost £55 a WEEK so much for avg family being down £200 ish a year! Thats my food per week, I dont know what to do! Helpline no help as their systems are still on down time. Using the calculator on their website we should be down £40 a week which is still not manageable Their helpline wasnt too much help, I said why didnt anyone write with figures and he said they didnt need to and it would be in my renewal stuff that arrives by june :eek: If I could afford a belt I would take it in a few notches lol.

Ok, today I have:

• Breakfast from stores
• Kids to school with packed lunches
• Walked to school
• Checked banking
• Rung TC helpline
• Eon bill in, stupid money, glad heating is now off!

And still need to:

• Lunch and my dinner from stores - mushy pea curry for lunch from last nights dinner mmmmm
• Hokey cokey on 30 quick wash and put on airer
• Day off so catch up on housework
• Finish tomorrows online shop and dig out £10 off code
• Continue hunt round for cheap car insurance
• Pigsback
• Find 1 thing to list on Amazon
• Redo budget again!
• Take kids to softplay after school as promised and will take advantage of their offer dinner for 50p each.
• Job hunt

There's a thread called Weezl and friends that might help and her site is here for cheap family recipes that might help you jiggle the budget quite a bit.....I'm sorry I have no other pearls of wisdom on this one..

Hi Erme - I had the bug badly last week, but am more or less feeling human again now, although the cough won't shift. One of the girls is at home ill with the same thing today, though, and a lot of her friends have it too, so it's definitely doing the rounds! Hope you (and anyone else here) who's still feeling rough with it can take the time you need to feel better - it really takes it out of you, doesn't it?

Grr, I am fuming!!! :mad:

Tried logging onto Ipsos the other day as I haven't had a survey for about a month which I thought was a bit strange, & I wanted to see how many credits I have...couldn't log in...

So I email their customer service who have now told me my account has been deleted because they were logged as spam...but I can sign up again if I like.

I just checked my safe senders list & they're on there...I didn't spot them in my junk email & I certainly never labelled them as spam...sounds like their systems messed up & they're trying to bs me.

Waiting to hear back if I'll get my old credits back or not...will be so annoyed if I don't

Rock_cakes - Sorry you didn't get into uni...hopefully it's for the best though & you'll find a super job that you love!

Hi all

Hope everyone is ok today. Working away again this week, so lunch and dinner is on expenses. I did go to the pub and a football match last night though. Not very DFW, but it does get lonely just sitting in a hotel room each evening.

Checked online banking today. My expenses havent gone through yet, but I've had the e-mail to say that they have been submitted to the bank, so it should go through in a day or two.

A couple of minimum cc payments have gone out today, so I'll update my sig when I get round to it.
