That you for My day today - hmmm what can I tell you.....

Might be teaching depends on the weather - call me old fashioned (YOUR old fashioned) - I don't really like doing pruning and alike in a gale and rain.
I've to gather some tools
Do more work on website for work
NEED to do work on my own website
DD in town all day, for tea and then fencing after
Ds off school prelim leave
Puppy has already eaten the hens food (I can't wait to hear his tummy later)
Hens have tried to get into the house twice already
Eggs which were hidden have been found, washed and boxed up

Banks to look at and decide how to move forward with those - probably not much in the way of PAD action but I'll peek

I need to make lunch and find waterproofs - oh the glamour.

Have a great one - thank you for the thread

Morning all, and hugs to everyone needing them. Seems to be lots of tough stuff going on for people at the moment. I'm dragging OH to the docs again this afternoon as his depression is starting to spiral out of control again (and it's unbearable to live with).
I had hoped half term would help me to recharge batteries and feel more energised but not feeling it yet I have to say.
Here's my small list for today
Checked banking online
Read Martin's email
Walk instead of use car
Take OH to docs
Take dd for a haircut, and check out any reduced bargains from Valentine's whilst I'm in town
Flylady level 3!
Find something to make with the food in my fridge which is looking way past its best because I don't want to waste it.

Have a good day everyone.

can I just pop in and say, I've always seen these posts and flown past them... because I was working as a self-employed taxi driver as well as being at uni my rational was that I was better of out there making money rather than trying to do 'the little things' and I guess upto a point this was probablly true.. but no more!! since december i've been doing bank shifts at the hospital and I'm only allow to do two 12 hour shifts a week (due to my uni course being 37.5 hours)
that's a long winded way of saying I now have no excuse, I have (albeit) a small amount of spare time on my hands which I would like to put to use at being even more frugal!! so after reading all your inspiring posts i got out of my bed, stopped playing on the laptop, turned the heating of, and gave myself a list of to-do's for today and here goes my first attempt:

Turn the heating of until tonight
Go to the gym and have a swim... saving money on showering
Go thru the freezer/ cupboards and rustle up a meal plan for rest of week
put washing on and put on the clothes horse in front of de-humidifier- this works SO well!!!
shop according to meal planner

I do need help regs surveys ect, did try them a few years ago but i never seemed to get enough points to cash into anything any advice on ones that are worthwhile doing would be gratefully received!!

Increased amounts tracking on TCB by £33
