• went window/dressing room shopping to stave off my severe craving to buy clothes ... had a tense moment in Debenhams with a 70%-off beautiful dress but my resolve DIDN'T crumble

margret thatcher would be envious of that will of iron! :rotfl: best for me to not go near shops at the moment!

• going to Lidl for the first time to do food shopping when OH finishes work - not sure what to expect!

I shop in Lidl all the time. I think its good, defo cheaper than the big 3 but range of foods is less. I usually pop to asda or sains afterwards to do a top up of the bits I didn't get

had a lovely day - have just had a bath, full body mot, used free samples of face wash & mask. Am about to make tomato, onion & potato bake to use up bits & bobs & make a cake while the oven is on - ah the weekend nothing like it! :T

Morning all

Today:

HM meals using ingredients I already have in

Bit of shopping at Mr S, for dog food, washing tablets etc, a few store cupboard items etc using vouchers

Pop in B&Q while out, and try to get a new light bulb for the kitchen. Why are there so many different types of lightbulbs? Why is it so confusing?

Perhaps also go to garden centre to look for a few plants for the pots in the front garden. Depends if the car park is overflowing - shan't bother if it is, which is very likely, as they seem to have turned the place into a sort of Christmas wonderland

Sort out bowl of windfall apples on dining table (I am really determined this time!)

Text friend and thank her for the flowers she sent

No heating on, light woodburner this evening if chilly

Morning all!

I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about schoolwork - you can tell half term is over:(
I have lots of work to do today (hence the waking up) so that's the main thing to do unfortunately.



So my little list...

• Loads of schoolwork (5 hours ish probably - boo!) done about 8 hours today - go me!
• Walked dog in the park already done
• Hoover and dust whole house done
• Have cheese and potato pie for tea made with leftover mash from yesterday done and yummy it was too!
• Get work clothes ready for the week done
• Put dry washing away done
• Maybe do a load of whites if there's enough to justify it done, in now
• Keep the heating off today - was on yesterday but its supposed to be warmer today just put it on for an hour
• Dye hair done, worst job in the world, hate doing it!
• Walk dog again done twice
• Do any surveys that come - am waiting for stuff to clear and then I can order a £10 voucher done
• Checked the bank - think I'll make it to payday without going OD:j done

Right that seems like enough to do - better get on with it!
