    10,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I have a storecupboard and a freezer full of food so no supermarket shopping for me this month! I will stick to the fruit and veg stall but in limited quantities as I really need to eat what I already have.

    Hello All,

    It's been a busy few days with a big family party and relatives coming to stay with us. Order has been restored now and I am going to have a lazy day to recover, but I'll also be doing the following:

    - check banking
    - parcel up shoes sold on eBay over the weekend
    - attack mountain of washing (I think our guests used every towel in the house over the course of their 4 day stay!)
    - relist unsold items on eBay
    - dinner from stores (using party leftovers infact)
    - catch up on surveys
    - go for a long walk later on, I need to walk off the weekend's excesses :-)

    Have a good day everyone

    Jules x

    Had a wedding to go to yesterday and I'm still full of Lasagne so no breakfast necessary this morning!

    • Tea from home (not shops)
    • Lunch from stores
    • Pop to Tesco and use Sainsbury's vouchers
    • Washing on 30c
    • Throw some more bits and bobs on eBay
  • Morning everyone, just remembered it's a Bank Hol (on hols already) and we don't usually get this one off work.

    Having a bit of a lazy morning so far (still in pj's but have been up since 7).

    Things to do today .......

    • Get showered & dressed!
    • Pay cc bill :eek: done but account now looking sadly depleted
    • Washing - another nice drying day outside
    • Tidy house
    • Some more weeding:(- they're taking over the garden but it's really hard getting them out as the ground is like rock as we've had no rain (shouldn't complain about that I know)!
    • Water peas/lettuce/radishes/potted plants
    • Plant some more spinach - last lot hasn't come through:(
    • Raid freezer for something for dinner
    • Find somewhere nice/new to take dog for walk:D
    • Search around to see if I can get some cheap cat litter anywhere - cheapest is P*ets at home (£9.30 compared to £14 @ pet shop) but costs about £7 in fuel to go:(
    Have a good day all:D


    Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
    2016 Sell: £125/£250

    Good afternoon everyone, It has been a long time since I logged into this site, as it has been hectic.

    Latest news is that I am pregnant and EDD is 11th June, due to the problems with DS I have to be under consultant care got my first appointment next week.
    I have also moved house and now in a semi rural location with a small school for DS.
    DH has started a new job today after being unemployed for 8 months.

    Anyway I have decided to get back into the MS way of things:





    My list for today:
    • Post on here
    • Turn the heating off (as it is lovely and warm today)
    • Have the TV off until tonight
    • Drink plenty of water
    • Parcel up the book that has been sold Will need to leave this till DH gets home as I can't find the parcel tape.
    • List some more books on GM
    • Start to organise bags for the hospital I have made a list so just need to gather things together.
    • Contact college regarding absence and possibility of completing course next year. Not done as I need to consider if this would actually work.
    • Check emails (personal and work)
    • Deal with new clients and schedule the required work
    • Catch up with pigsback and surveys
    • Get DS school gear ready for tomorrow (remember homework)
    • Food from stores
    • Complete the work that is in for today I have not completed everything but I have got a good proportion completed.
    • Tidy the office Made a start but needs to be finished.
    • Wash the baby clothes and get them ironed and put away Got some washed still have some to wash and they all need ironed.
    • Get DS in bed for 8pm
    • Complete the shop assignment I will get this finished in the morning
    • Sit down, put feet up and watch some TV once DS is in bed
    • Organise what needs to be done tomorrow (work and personal)
    Aiming to get Debt Free.

    Green Metropolis I think - worth trying to sell them there, cheaper than ebay/amazon I am sure:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
