Hi all
Hope everyone is good and the weather is getting sunnier!
This weekend I have or will:
- check banking and make PADs
- be delighted at my progress on the mortgage front. Very happy with the sig but there is more than can be done so I need to work on that more
- update spends spreadsheets
- lady who bought an item on EBAy lives 3 streets away so OH taking it round....very happy also as we got a 50% increase on what we paid for it albeit 10 years ago!
- try and go to garden centre but be careful wth spends, need to be for the allotment
- try out BM which has been letting us down with yeast that is in date!!!:eek: I don't like to throw anything away but if it's the reason that bread doesn't rise ( and not a mechanical malfunction:rotfl:) it will have to go and its far cheaper than a new BM!
- make roast dinner from stores but will be buying more eggs and cream to make rhubarb icecream. Hens laying a bit again not the 2 broodies:mad: but the other 2 but still can't see me using 6 of theirs. Better to buy.
Think that's it.
Have a good day everyone:D

Hi everyone :wave:
We've been making money in our house today - set each other a target to make £100 each. OH is going to blow me out the water if he can find a buyer for his guitar but I'm willing to put my competitive streak to one side
So far we've made £46.90: £5.60 in 2 euromillions tickets we never cashed the winnings on, £15 in coins I bagged up, £3 transferred from paypal from a survey, £23.30 on a winning footie bet (used money that was already in OH's online balance).
Still got to:
- music magpie CDs
- Sell DS
- Sell PSP
- Sell games for DS and PSP
- Sell old mobile phones
- Figure out what's the best thing to do with foreign currency - USD50 and EUR10 - every little helps and all that :rotfl: - about £35 I guess.
Need to see if I can get cash for a couple of gift vouchers too- Have £25 D*benhams and £30 for a local spa...
Looking forward to the bank holiday tomorrow, although I'll just be working through my laundry basket and chilling out at home.

Not the best LPP - are you thinking you'll be able to get a part-time job or something similar to make the extra up? Hope so, I know what it's like when you suddenly lose money you count on. Big hugs.0
