Morning (just about) everyone!
Today I'm back on my rockin' hardcore MSE wagon
1) Peg the washing out instead of tumbly DONE
2) Plan my work for the week so I'm not wasting time wondering what needs doing done
3) Get a few things on Ebay
4) Pay off all this weeks bills as not expecting any more money in this week DONE
5) count the penny jar up and use it to pay off the rest of the years Council Tax (Was only £30 before you all think I'm hoarding the world's supplies of pennies!)
6) Finding myself a new Avon rep for my team so I can get closer to my next bonus! Adverts are done, posters are up!
7) Post out some wool I sold on Ebay Done
8) Call the charity shop to pick up the stuff I sorted out that wasn't Ebayable (thus saving petrol) Done, but they wern't picking up, so will try again tomorrow
Hope everyone has an awesome cheap day
Obi xThis year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

Good afternoon everyone! Sorry I've not posted in a few days, but I've been doing quite a bit of overtime and work, and haven't had much computer time

Today I have:
- Made dinner in slow cooker (gammon and lentil chowder) which will do for dinner tonight, I'll be able to freeze 4 portions for my lunches, and save some gammon back enough to make ham and cheese omelettes on Wednesday and pop some in the freezer to make ham, leek and potato soup sometime in the future (some people may do rubber chicken, but I do rubber ham lol)
- Cancelled my Equifax account
- Phoned tax credits to change circumstances and renew (FINALLY!!)
- Posted 3 more items on ebay
- Packaged 3 items that ended last night
- Checked bank accounts
- OH hung out 1 load of washing on the line
Today I will
- [STRIKE]Make a shopping list [/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Go shopping after 3pm so that I don't have to pay for parking (Free after 3 scheme)[/STRIKE]
- Get an ASDA gift card for £17.86 and pay for it with LTSB credit card that I somehow managed to overpay by that amount :rotfl:Well tried to do this, but it's been so long since I used the card that I forgot my pin and it's now locked:wall:
- [STRIKE]Go shopping at ASDA, using the list[/STRIKE] and above mentioned gift card to pay (hopefully having some left over too, fingers crossed)
- [STRIKE]Post 2 of the packaged ebay items (still waiting for the 3rd to pay)[/STRIKE] Posted all 3, the last one paid before I left
- Hang out 2nd load of laundry while the sun is still shining
- Clean up the house (maybe not MS, but it is a right tip at the moment)
