Sorry the house wasn't right for you Ixia. Hopefully the next one!

Hope you're feeling better today Shezam.

And huge congratulations on being DF Welshwoofer!! :j:beer:

Today I am exhausted as DD seems to be getting molars and had me up 5 times between midnight at 7am. Third night in a row now, I don't feel human anymore. At least I have spotted it's a tooth now though so some calpol and bonjela before bed tonight I think.

Today for me (I'm a bit late starting):
> Check bank
> Track cashback from Npower (still not showing on Quidco)
> switch my kitchen cupboards around that I can put all the plates in the same cupboard - the disorder is driving me crazy.
> 1 load of washing in but rainy weather suggests this might be as far as I get.
> List items on Ebay
> Fold and put away clothes.
> Make some bread (haven't decided between french sticks or croissants)

Have a lovely daya everyone, hope you manage to avoid the rain.

Hi,

I am having a bad day today & wish I was up for it, but just feel like crawling back under the duvet!

I feel so tired & under the weather but not enough to justify calling in sick, so was a little late to work (those of you who are on the 101 thread know I have desperately tried to change this about myself, did change this, & now feel like a failure as that's 3 days in a row Being a little ill is no excuse! Maybe I should untick that list item...) & I made myself even later by forgetting my access card :mad: & then I've made lots of silly mistakes at work, grr!

La escocesa - Thanks for starting us off, I really fancy a croissant now...
DNMS - Glad the capsule wardrobe is working out well for you! I really need to crack on & do the same, or at least get rid of some of the stuff in there.
Jonno - It's not corny I know what you mean about decluttering, I need to get on & do some more but it's a case of finding the time & energy these days
Shezam - Glad you feel better today
Welshwoofer - Ahh that's fantastic! So pleased for you
OrangeFairy - Mmm your dinner sounds delicious!

I had a brain wave at the weekend and decided I wanted to be super money saving so I took on the challenge made an excel budget, got super super organised, looked at my weekday expenditure [work full time] and my weekend expenditure and made a plan [as sad as it sounds on Sunday night I was excited to 'get going' on Monday]

Normally on a weekday I would spend a between £5 - £6 which is £25 - £30 a WEEK ! I was shocked to learn how much I could be saving. I already take my lunch to work so I had to look at my other outgoings like parking, an extra drink, maybe a small snack occasionally breakfast if I missed it in the morning

I have been to work 4 days since deciding to become super-money-saving and I am pleased to report I have spent a GRAND TOTAL of £1 :eek::eek::eek: ... I have found a place to park for FREE, I fill up a water bottle, I dont treat myself to extra snacks the £1 only came about because my bf picked up a bottle of juice for me [like he normally does] and as I hadnt told him about my master plan yet I felt obligied XD hehe :money:

On my to do list

-List items on eBay
-Open savings account now my ISA is full
