:)Catch up with the freebies thread done
:)Dailies – clicks, bucks and points done

Look into what I can grow in the greenhouse and see when it needs planted and a good site for sourcing seeds online work in progress I have now got a list of veg to grow but will need to see what seeds I can get. I have a couple of stores to check for cheap seeds.
:)Surveys – inbox, one poll, lightspeed done

:)Sort diary for next week and check work accounts to see if I can increase this week’s workload to increase income done I have increased things slightly
:)Sort ebay and paypal so that I can really start listing as major declutter coming up, as got 3 sheds, garage and the house to do work in progress I will need to give ebay a call tomorrow cheeky guy on chat tried to get me to sign as a business seller no way as I would not get free listings
:)S&S submission done
:)Sort picture to send to overseas aunt (not DFW but needs to be done)

I think that is everything that I need to get done today, the list is a bit long for a Sunday but on a mission after the bank situation yesterday.

I am very happy with the progress that I have made today as I have completed almost everything that was on my list and I have managed to have a NSD whilst giving my family a meal that they were all happy.

Oh ixia ... Re getting taxi we went to NY and got bus , cheapest way and it is regular service all day and night. Friends of ours did taxi and it failed to arrive for return trip! BA booking was reliable ( other friends did it) but cost a fortune! Getting a taxi to take you from city to airport is impossible due to cost

thanks we were just going to get taxi/transfer because with there being 5 of us I don't think there is much difference in the price. I would get bus if it was just me and OH don't fancy it with 5 lots of luggage either.:eek: I thought it was a flat fare from the airport to Manhattan I'm sure I read it somewhere, better go and check that.

Hi

Just lost the last post :-(

A LSD day as although we had some parking that's it. OH saved some parking when ferrying kids about by doing the first trip on the bikes instead. We were then expecting to take ILs out for a cheap pizza but given weather forecast they have gone early ( it was lovely to see them) but on an MSE front it will be more LOs this eve...yippee

OH is now making toffee popcorn before we sit down to relax and watch a movie...will be a DVD we already have so a good Sunday MSE wise for us!

Weather is cold but so bright. 74p on the panels so I will have that!!:T

Lost_and_nervous

Very unproductive weekend, spent time in snow, spent a bit yesterday on some medicine as not been feeling 100%, came to the conclusion that OH spends far too much and actually I am more money saving now than he is probably because my money has to last me. Anyway I am rambling, should spend more time doing things I think to try and make up for the unproductiveness that my weekend has been!

Glad to see you have all been busy! Such a inspiration! Well new week as of tomorrow xx
