  • Hi all,

    I've been a little lacklustre over the past few weeks, back on it this week though!

    Today I will:

    - Have Lunch and Dinner from stores
    - Stay in on my Lunch-Break to ensure no spending - I have just had my lunch and i'm still hungry, the idea of going to the shop to get some crisps is very tempting.......BUT I WILL RESIST!!!!
    - Drink lots of free water at work
    - Walk to the gym after work and make use of the sauna and jacuzzi
    - Cost-up my shopping list for tomorrows shopping trip
    - Early night so I can get up earlier tomorrow morning.....
    - NSD :)

    Have a good day y'all,

    :) afternoon everyone

    So far today I have:
    • went to shops before work to get bread and milk
    • completed a few surveys
    • a washing
    • all meals from stores
    • checked banking/emails
    • chased up a refund I'm still waiting on
    Still to do:
    • make the dinner
    • clean the bathroom
    • mop the floors
    • move money to couple of different pots
    • find a christening gift- was thinking about a terrimundi pot what do you all think?- Usually give cash but a gift is cheaper and trying to stay within budgets. Only found out about it last week it's a guys son who OH used to work with.
    have a good day everyone

    A bit of snow here this morning, but luckily it didn't settle! It is cold though :eek:

    For me today:
    Checked bank - got paid a day early, yay :j
    Free paper to read on the train
    Took lunch and fruit for snacks with me to work
    Dinner from meal plan (sausage and lentil casserole made yesterday). It was yummy, and there is some left for my lunch tomorrow :T
    Did an expenses claim at work - only £18 for taxis, but every little helps!

    Got rid of a load of unwanted books (not bought by me I hasten to add) via Freecycle - not MS, but good in respect of decluttering - there were LOADS!

    Still to do - write cheque for plumber's bill, and pack up ebay sale ready for posting, assuming they have paid.

    Have a nice evening everyone :wave:

    Hi guys

    Just checking in again.. La E..I know how you feel. You have to feel valued. Go somewhere that shows you that!

    The SC veggie stew was yummy. DDs really enjoyed it with yorkies.

    Spent as little as possible in the butchers, that and thread the only spend for today..just diced lamb for weekend ( ILs coming over and we will do a curry, with lots of lentil dal and maybe a potato one to eke it out) and some beef for DD's cookery class tomorrow. Also bought thread for taking up trousers..and then proceeded to take up one leg the wrong way round..grr. What an eejit. About to unpick now but just thought I'd pop on here first!! :-)

    Dismally failed to do insurers letter. Must do that this week. Did help DD with her HW though! :-)

    Have about £4 left from budget for tomorrow ( hopefully not needed!) and then a new month..yay!!

    Cheers
