Hello to you all *waves frantically from the far distance*
Today I have/will:
 Breakfast and dinner from stores
 Free lunch at work – the UK division of my company won an award in a global competition...beautiful buffet with fresh fruit...yum !
 Try not to beat myself up for spending/wasting £5 on lottery scratchcards – this WILL not happen anymore this month
 Update my sig
 Sort out ms tax payments and fill in my self assessment (I know that I am late with it)
 Try not to spend any more money today
 Need to print out a discount coupon for my local fabric shop
 File away 50 emails from my work inbox
 Update food diary online (focused on my weight about 4 weeks ago and have lost 5lbs)
 Need to make a list of the food we are eating for our anniversary party in June – hubby and I have been married over 10 years so having a party to celebrate
 Need to make a list of people I have invited and who have said yes
 Need to make a list of the college work I need to do over Easter (only 2 more exams to go until I have passed the first year of AAT)
 Have an early night – having to go to bed earlier and earlier

Will read through today’s comments and respond when I get home

Have a fab day

Candy xx

Wannabee_in_credit - Do you have any artsy crafty pieces at home? Could you maybe do Easter themed stuff, like painting egg shells? Making easter treats (like choc cornflake cakes etc)? Or do an indoors Easter egg hunt (with smaller, cheaper eggs that you can buy a load of in one bag)? Depends on their age though - I'm not sure how old they are, sorry.

I hope your day gets better!

Thanks so much for this. I can get a bit stuck in a rut when I'm in the house all day. The weather has been absolutely wild outside all day (more like January than April)... me and the kids have painted some boiled eggs this afternoon, which has been far more lovely than I thought it would be.
I have also gotten the wedding invitations ready to send, all addressed up (just the daytime ones), and have done some more work on trying to finalise the evening guest list. I've ordered the sweets for my sweet trees, and managed to get OH to commit to shopping for his suit tomorrow (fingers crossed because I really want that ticked off the list).
Sneaked out for groceries (£19 ish).

Had a sucessful day today as managed to complete everything on my list apart from the studying.

As well as completing my list I have also received my wedding invitations, purchased my dress and also a present for the children at the wedding (my two).

I am quietly impressed with what I have got completed especially since I was without electricity for most of the day, due to a powercut. Hope everyone else had a good day today.
