    Hi everyone

    Sorry need to dash and run for bit but plan to:

    - PAD the C@0p card, must be coming down nicely
    - pay minimum payment towards BC
    -make dinner from stores and check delivery from R@verford today to check will work with meal planner, if not tweak rather than buy more!
    - switch heating off and put another jumper on
    - use hair dye from store rather than hairdressers altho I still need a cut sharp ish
    - lunches from stores as ever, DDs have dinners at school today
    - do another trawl of stuff to eBay..there MUST be more:rotfl:

    Have already checked bank account but no sign of ISA funds transferring, need to get OH to check up on that ( it's in his name) but then can pay off OD...yes! Not savings you understand but shuffling but minimal brownie points for this..

    happy Birthday niksyg have a good one, hope you feel better soon Janey..remember spending DON'T make you happy :-), keep the faith lass, we're here for you! And DNMS..that's a result, especially as the men's team are now qualified for the Olympics, yay!

    Happy birthday niksyg

    Last day in York today, back home tonight.

    Raided hotel room of toiletries and tea/coffee
    Checked online banking
    Hotel breakfast
    Found 5p on the walk from the hotel to the office
    Charged phones at work
    Renewed TV licence, as OH switched it to her new address when she moved out
    Lunch on expenses
    Dinner will be whatever I've got in the cupboards/freezer

    Have a great day everyone
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done


  • Afternoon all. I would have posted on here this morning but must admit to going back to bed after DD went to nursery :o was poorly at the weekend and still not 100% - well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :D

    working from home today (hence the ability to do the above) so I shall:

    Check banking, update speadsheet
    update expenses on the online system ready to go when work CC statement comes later this week to submit
    shop later at mr t, have list, must stick to it. Will also check coupons before I go as I have a few, make sure I use them and don't forget
    work :eek:
    read martins e-mail
    go through a couple of cook books I've not used for a while to re-find some recipies
    measure self - to keep going so when not loosing lbs necessarily I can still see it going down - ooh - I feel another spreadsheet coming on :rotfl:
    check out D0nald Russel! offers and maybe order some through £co

    I went away to a spa at the weekend, which I had been saving for all year. However, I was poorly and had to come home early :( All the girls are going next year again. However, think I have made the decision I'm not going to go, not because I was ill this time, just because I want to use my money for something else. As lovely and relaxing as it is there. Sorry, don't know why I rambled on there, just made me feel better writing it down :)

    Thanks for 'listening'

    My husband as also just laughed at me for getting excited because there was 15 chicken fingers in a box where there should have only been 14. That's what you really call a small dfw thing.
