Still got stuff to do off yesterdays list! Don't know where it went.

Todays list:
Check for surveys.
Find an envelope (I have loads in a box somewhere:o) and post off my tax refund forms.
Meals from stores.
NSD.
Some more painting in front bedroom.
Start tidying up garden. (A solid mass of grass/weeds/rocks/rubbish at the moment).:eek: Even if I can sweep up some leaves it will be a start.

Morning all
outdid myself yesterday with all my money saving so taking a breather today!!
Brought lunch to work, eating from freezer tonight and going straight home from work, no messing!

This weekend will be shopping for veggie seeds as I aim to be self sufficient this year! Love my veg, just dont love the prices!

Apart from that a very misty murkey day in Brighton and I wish I was still in bed!

Hello everyone, lovely sunny day and the heating is off!

My course work has arrived and much of my day will be centred around getting things set up ready to study.

So without further ado; the list:

• all meals from the store cupboard
• check bank online and update spreadsheet accordingly
• sort out filing box for course material
• research the cheapest place to buy reference books
• sort out cupboard under the sink, leftover job from yesterday
• peg washing out in the garden

Moving on, will see you later.

Hi

I checked my payslip - payday tomorrow - an extra £23 in my pay this month - woopdeedoo…

I've figured out a bit of a budget for March. After outgoings, savings for a couple of 'spensive months ahead and paying off my o/d :j I'll have £200 leftover. Doable but tight as always. I'm going to break this down into £100 between tomorrow and 9th March and another £100 from 10th - 23rd.

I have got a few things planned between now and next payday so I'll need to keep track - going out for a meal on Sat night and got friends round next weekend - another dinner out next wknd for that - I'll make sure my cupboards are well stocked to minimise what we spend though… There are also a few things I need to buy, but will REALLY need to think about justifying those things… Maybe I'll see how much of the £200 I can keep until next payday and then spend what's left - that's what I'd do in an ideal world.

Here are my small things:
- Weird but healthy lunch for 57p - spicy sardine pasta - no one will have the same lunch as me today
- Enjoying free cuppas in work
- Walked to work - tomorrow I will have saved £9 :T
- Tidying round tonight so we don't have EVERYTHING to do over the weekend
- Yoga practice - friends are coming round for a class on Sunday
- Bit of knitting and catch up with some TV

Keeping it simple :cool:

Hello, it is a nice bright sunny day here although the presence of dampness on the ground first thing did try and make Doglet convince me it was not walking weather.

Have all meals from stores
Charge phones at work
Drink lots of free tea at work
Check banking - very unimpressed with Halifax their on-line banking system has immediately locked me out for my new account for 7 days so can't get the £100 for changing banks and spirit into ISA away from DH spending. Just hope it does the same for him too!
Gym tonight
Sort out paperwork for tenant finding

Found a box of Quaker oat breakfast cereal in former colleague's desk (recent departure) so snaffled them for munchies!

I posted my ebay sales from the weekend and the cash £114 is now in the bank - ready to pay for b'day pressies - 4 b'days in March!

Also have to pay nursery soon £345 not including the £243 already taken out of my wages already in vouchers!!! so expensive! :eek:

I have again moved my appt with the dentist so he doesnt take out my wisdom tooth

Got a free (out of date a litte bit) jar of coffee and pack of muesli Im not very fussy about Best Before Dates and I haven't been il yet

Directl*ne sent me a letter about crash - looks like I'm keeping my no claims discount thanks to the protection - well worth paying extra for:T

Dishes are done
Laundry to do
Later on: sort bottles/steriliser for nursery tomorrow, make cheesy brocolli pasta for tea, packed lunches for me and DD2, get clothes ready for everyone for tomorrow, pack DS nursery bag.

Think thats it
