Candy - hope news isn't bad
Ziggy - everything crossed here for you
Red Doe - v interested to see how freezing goes with the potaotes, we are just finishing last of our crop now

Lovely day here so hokey cokey underway. Bit of a 'spendy' day as aim to complete uniform shopping and get boys to go for haircuts but all that is in the budget so accounted for.

• all washing done on low temp & dried outdoors
• shopping for uniform & shoes
• bread from breadmaker being demolished as I type
• all meals from mealplan and ingredients/items already bought
• read my new declutter manual and put into practice - starts with the bathroom
• do Rosemary Conley dvd much to amusement and embarassment of my chln
• do another Couch to 5k podcast
• check bank and make appropriate moves from savings to current account to cover uniform etc
• get OH to tidy corner of kitchen that is turning into a dumping spot for tools and other items that need putting away. If I was brave I would post a pic, as it is I'm sure you can imagine!
• enjoy garden on this nice day - OH just finished pond fountain so can listen to trickling water (btw pond started because he saw some fish on freecycle - this has turned into v expensive solve to find home for 5 fish)
• more tea!

Morning all!
Just sat down for the first time this morning - been a busy girl.

So far I have...

• Had a bath
• Cleaned the bathroom
• Walked the dog
• Been to Mr T to do the shopping
• Unpacked the shopping
• Cleaned kitchen
• Checked the bank - its official, the mortgage has gone through and I'm now poor until payday in two weeks:o
• Got ready for mum and sister visiting - they're on the motorway as I type:eek:

Other things today...

• Try to convince mum that we don't need to go out for tea (moneysaving and good for diet) - not sure it will wash though! She thinks she's on holidays!
• Take dogs for a nice walk along the canal as the sun is out for the first time in ages!
• Try to stick to diet
• Update diary
• Maybe mow front lawn later if its stays dry

Morning All!

Day off tomorrow, so it's my Friday. Woop! And our company directors have been round and are very happy. Which is nice.

Today I shall be mostly......going home to spunge off my parents for dinner.

I had an expensive day yesterday- my wallet fell out of my pocket and accidentally bought a new Xbox game. Ah well.

As it's the GFs birthday today I am cooking instead of going out for a meal- venison steak with stuffed tomato Nicoise.

Have a good one all!

Checked online banking
Signed up to do a mystery shop on Sunday - will get £8 for it.
Used pool car instead of my own today
Tea tonight out of the storecupboards
Washing out on line - been a nice week so got lots of washing done this week
Switched off hot water again - what's in there will last now for 2 days

Hope everyone has a good day. Roll on friday!!

Such a great time - good old fashioned quality time with the kids. £70 for camping and then we geocached and used our national trust memebership. So paid nothing for days out. Only spent a bit of food and lunches out. So pretty MSE

Today

Mountain of washing
OH sorting the garden a bit
Pay bills
Inventory
Meal plan
Shopping list
LSD
Work out september goals for my 101 list

Hello :j

Thanks for starting the thread DNMS, and Candy, I hope you are ok.

So far today I have:

Car in for service at garage across the road from my new house. I normally take it to the main dealer, and don't know if it will be cheaper, but at least it saved driving to another town and getting a bus back, then having to go through all the palaver again to go and get it back Done, price seemed reasonable

Hoovered downstairs (still have to dust)

Dragged shopping trolley to A!dis for a few bits, and picked enough blackberries for a pie on the way back

Put some bags of apples that DD2 abandoned here on freecycle, and waiting for 2 ladies to come and pick them up I have enough jellies and chutney for this year! One collected and one to leave outside the front door for collection later

Still to do:

Dusting! Done - even polished a bit :eek:

Investigate elderly butternut squashes in the conservatory to see if they are still ok for soup :eek: Not been brave enough yet

Plant bulbs and plants I bought the other day Nope, not got round to it yet

Make a blackberry and apple pie Done

I love being at home,but my week's leave is going all too quickly
