Good afternoon everyone

today I shall be making fajitas for dinner, still eating the chicken I roasted on sunday :j Im a veggie though, so only DH and the dog eating the chicken, but for the first time ever, he has eaten the whole thing, plus I made stock from the carcass last night! Go me!!
Was planning for a NSD, but had to buy a 52p pack of rolls from Asda
Boss brought in some tins of soup, and I bought the rolls, she still spent more than me lol
Can't think of anything else, hope everyone has a good day!xCan't think of anything smart to put here...0 -

1. I've listed 2 more items on eBay.
2. Phoned bank re switching mortgage when current deal ends in Feb. They said wait until January to sort it. (Wonder why?).
3. Have emailed an eBay seller about a hutch I bought a month ago and is too small for my guinea pigs to get up the ramp! I want to return it free of charge and get my money back (£50). Not sure how co-operative seller will be, but we'll see.
4. Waiting for delivery of some special offer cat food and guinea pig food I bought.
5. Entered a competition to get £20 voucher. I never win competitions, but I recently won my first ever raffle (got huge tin of chocs) so you never know. My MSE luck might be in!
6. I want to sort through some clothes and bags and maybe some craft stuff to see what else could be put on eBay.
7. Does tidying the bedroom count?0 -
Evening all!
Been AWOL for a couple of days due to being madly busy with work - have worked for 14 hours a day every day this week and am now officially knackered! It will all get back to normal now though - crisis over!
Just got an email from work (I'm a teacher) saying that the school is closed next Weds due to the strike (I'm an NUT member so will be on strike too) - just a warning for those with kids - I think a lot of schools will be shut.
Just a few small things....- ExOH has responded to divorce petition and its back with the court (should hopefully whizz through now) (I suppose thats a big thing!)
- Checked bank - no surprises
- Tea from freezer
- Had a LSD
- Walked dog locally to save petrol
- Having a rest tonight and a nice bath and relax

Well a fairly productive day all things considered! Off now to update Ebay, send an ebay invoice, list one more thing and tidy my room - I reckon this counts as DFW-y - saves spending time shopping!

Hi!
Generally need to get my act together, starting with spending a wee bit of time reading things on here each night.
Today's thing was staying in (rearranged DD's appointment as the weather was too nasty to go out) so saving the bus/train money. Hooray!
Otherwise - housework, tidying, washing and cooking.
Did achieve a NSD though. Hooray !(again!)Sealed Pot Challenge member 991
Sealed pot challenge 3 = £42 banked, yay! Sealed pot challenge 4 = £162.11 saved!
NSD May 7/70
