Hi all,
Big long day at work today and very glad it's all over.
Not going to do much tonight but am planning list for tomorrow.
Need to really start getting rid of debt now and stop downing unnecessary money on electric ( dryer) and food is another nigh one
Too much wasted food not enough planning.
So: tonight- instead of watching the double bill at cinema of Harry potter, other half is going to buy the DVD ( first half) and we're going to watch that!
Instead of going to cinema and putting it on the credit card we are going to save up this week and pay for it from overtime at work.. Try and start good habits!!
We had pasta with all store ingredients tonight.
Tomorrow I'm going to nip to morrisons for essentials- my plan is to dramatically decrease shopping bill- When I was on m s e I budgeted £40 per week per shop... Fir months now it's been at least 100-150 a week.., there's only two of us and 2 dogs and two cats- how ridiculous!!!
Will check bank and plan food for the week too and try and get a bit more organised!
Will check in tomorrow

Yayyyyyy, Stitchy, Candy and Josie are all in the room, so I'd better post too - it'll be like a 'small things' reunion today!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Where are DNMS, Perni, Pippi, etc... lots of faces dropping out recently:(

Hello!

Sorry I haven't been around for just over a week now - I think the break has done me good in some ways as I have had more time to do...well, nothing really which has been desperately needed lately! But at the same time I fear some good habits may have started to slip, so I think I will be back to posting my list this coming week!

Little update from me:-

We gave notice of marriage last week so all the legal bits are sorted Bad news is I'm really starting to struggle with the budget for the wedding, just can't seem to afford what we want & extra costs keep cropping up & I don't even think I'm going OTT...Will just have to hunt around a bit more I think, & possibly "cut" some people from our proposed guest list, which I don't really want to do but will save some pennies!

DFW-wise I have generally been good, no major splurges! Although I have eaten into next month's "allowance" slightly by buying a couple of clothes for our holiday, in fairness they were both in the sale! Skirt was £35 down to £15, & the dress was about £25 down to £9 :T I'll have to be stricter next month definitely.
I've generally been keeping up with surveys, comps, etc, & even got round to some ebaying :eek: But not much has sold Will keep trying though.

Hope everyone else is happy & well, I will have a flick through the last week's thread if I get some spare time, & if not then hugs/congrats/commiserations where necessary! Love to you all xx

Evening All,

Hi to all new members and regular folk. How are we all tonight???

Today I have/will do:

• Meals from stores
• NSD
• Friend drove as cheaper than bus or train
• Read newspapers online
• Watched a couple of things on the sky box
• Checked online banking
• Do online comps
• Need to watch bits on the sky box
• Fill in my food diary
• Drink plenty of water
• Take meds to sort out hormones
• Have an early night – need to catch up on some sleep
• Had a guy come round to look at the car – he was a boy racer and it turns out that it was not for him!!! …. Had a couple of scam emails – decided to be quite blunt with them and thank them for suggesting that I set up a paypal account for their ‘agent’ to pick the car up….might have to borrow an icon from here :spam: :rotfl:

Think that is about it – I am sure there will be things I have forgotten.

Have a fabby one!
Candy xxx
