Afternoon everyone

Pixie- thanks for starting us and hugs to anyone who needs them today.

Today's list- what I've done so far:

• Went to shops this morning and picked up some shopping- nipped into Lidl for free water and cereal bars from daily record voucher
• picked up loads of veggie freezer stuff in asda for 25p-50p need to try and squueze them in freezer now
• checked banking/emails
• transferred money to DS's account for books he needs for uni- only told me yesterday :eek: so have to juggle a bit
• lunches and brekkie from stores- dinner soreted but did have to buy some bits at shops
• Coast- cancelled another dress that's the 3rd one trying to get a dress for my friend's wedding in the sale don't seem to have much luck

Still to do:

• Prepare dinner
• general tidy
• scrub bathroom
• tidy cupboard in room I've still not got round to
• load of washing and airer to dry
• If I've got time I want to make a note of all cupboard stock etc as I just keep buying random things- then I go to find something I need to make dinner and I don't have it!!!

Think that's about it have a good evening everyone.

Evening all!

DNMS - how did it go then?

I had a bit of an unproductive yesterday due to a migraine, and woke up today feeling yucky. Luckily I have a fab boss who told me to 'work from home' this afternoon, so I've spent most of it asleep and am feeling a bit better now, but still not 100%. Desperately need to be better by the morning as I have a job interview.

Anyway, today I have:

- had free lunch at work and packed lunch for DS
- tea from stores
- collecting a hoover from freecycle in a bit, the guy tried to deliver to me last night but couldn't find the door, but it's only about 10 mins drive
- didn't put heating on when came home after lunch, instead wrapped up on sofa in fur blanket
- comps, bingo and surveys
- checked banks
- reactivated pointshop and toluna


Think that's it for today - need to read up on the school I'm being interviewed at tomorrow so I'm prepared - wish me luck!

* quick shower just washed my hair! ( I did have a bath b4 bed though!)
* [STRIKE]leave the house tidy [/STRIKE]- I don't start till 10 today :j and in future I will need to leave between 8.30-8.45 depending on whether I am walking or driving (OMG the joys of no longer needing to get up at 6 and leave at 7.20 :T:D)
* [STRIKE]get oh to stop at Tesco on his way home as they have 2kg of red lentils on offer at 1/2 price for £1.99 :T [/STRIKE] :rotfl: don't think I really could conceptualise what 2kgms of lentils looks like!
* [STRIKE]brekkie & lunch from stores[/STRIKE]
* [STRIKE]have voucher for Zizzis for free tapas and a glass of wine - we're going to try to stick to this (try not to be swayed by the hard sell![/STRIKE] felt very shameful not buying any food! Left a £2.50 tip. Cheapest date ever! :rotfl:
* will just have beans on toast or something when we get home no need tapas was enough :T
* do 2nd coat of the bathroom :T CBA
* Mrs Flylady our bedroom & "hallway" (its about 2.5ft by a metre! :rotfl:) CBA
* go to the gym :o:o:o:o

ok think that's my lot. Excited and nervous about being the new girl all at once! Have a great day y'all x

New day was good thanks for all the cyber support and well wishes :A (you guys are all so lovely, thank you ) No longer worried that I won't be good enough - clearly a deluded insecure moment there! Clearly I will be able to walk to work 2 or 3 days a week and still only need to leave at 8.35 :T its a bloody marvel!

Knackered now so going to bung a spicy tomato & lentil soup in the SC, have a shower and go to bed

Hope you all had a great day x

Good morning everyone.

- Thanks for starting us off Pixie
- Good luck today DNMS
- Stitchy it will all be ok.

- Brizzled - I am still devising my family meal plan, I make wonders with mince! Out of one of the normal size packs I get 4 adult meals and 1 childs meal of bolognese as I bulk out with veg and then out of the same size 1 pack of mince I can make 25 decent size meat balls and add some peppers onions and then a tomato sauce. Its great your doing it as a family!

- everyone else happy monday!

Well I listed 27 items yesterday. I was listing all evening. It was non stop.

Anyway today, I need to have a productive day, I am feeling quiet down and nervous, but I need to work through it and getting to the end of my coffee I think I will have to put my kettle on for another one and that one will be the get up and go one!

So my little list for today:

- all meals from stores! And overcook with the mince to freeze 2 portions! :mad: Only got 1 extra portion out of it as only had minimal veg in fridge - its the end of the month thats for sure!

- take washing off of the airer, Iron and then put more in the wm and then onto the airer. No ironing, no more in wm!

- Do washing up, wipe sides down in the kitchen. DONE

- list a few more items on ebay - I am on a roll I have loads to list a few more spaces on my monthly allowance so why not take full advantage of it! Didnt get round to listing any more today but have spent quiet a bit of time answering messages from people so positive

- Try to cheer myself up! I found £31.22 in an old bag as had a clear out of some bits today and I nearly bought myself a new bag the other day as my one is embarrassingly in poor condition but i found one today which is like new! Great day!

Have a good day xx

May not have achieved everything I wanted to, and I may have run out of time, and i may have started the day of in a nervous way but I have finished it with a smile! see you tomorrow hope your all ok! xx

Evening all,

After a manic weekend and NO sleep on Saturday night (:beer:) I expected to be dead on my feet today, but I wasn't...a nice surprise!

- Today I paid £175 to black horse as full and final settlement on my car loan. The rest is now on 0% Virgin card, saving me over £2000 in interest.
- Checked online banking...low low low but within budget.
- Reduced payment from bills account to mortgage account as I was paying in £12 too much a month which can now go towards the Barclays OD debt instead.
- Salad from home for lunch, though I had a real dip at lunch time so bought (eek) a sausage roll from work for 85p - filled me up though and made me feel better!
- Meal plan supper tonight. Cooked a ham to have in sandwiches as well as with egg and HM wedges tonight.
- Cheapy night in writing 2000 words on education policy and society (fun fun fun).
- Home insurance is due for renewal so looking for the cheapest option.

Evening all late post - very busy day, not helped by getting stuck in a car park for 20 minutes as the barriers wouldn't open:eek: today I have/will:

Checked listed items on eb*y. One item at £10 already with 5 days to go:T Hardly going to let me live on the edge, but better in my bank than an item cluttering the house
Continue scouring for items, may list some more if possible
Check bank, investigate a random payment from tax credits
Tea from stores
Def not getting made redundant :j have pitched for the job I want, think have good chance too feel sorry for those at risk though

Glad you like the new job DNMS :T
