Badger's budgeting begins

Hi Fae

It's not going too badly, mind you I have been looking on for breadmakers
Someone else did bid on the one I was going to, so it could've gone for more than I was willing to spend, so I am looking on the bright side of that one!!
Have found another bargain one that ends this morning. I was thinking I could get it delivered to DPs house, but then I realised that this is a stupid idea! Naughty Badger!! I will just wait, I do feel like I have got an itch that can't be scratched though.


Starting to wish I hadn't sold the one I had before, working shifts it was ideal because I could bung it all in before I left for work and do it on the timer. Oh well, hey ho and all that!!

Only 2 hours left now, then it's 2 down 2 to go

I have tried a couple of times (well sort of I use the dough hook on my Chef) but I can never get it to rise properly
When I was younger and still lived with DP our old house had an airing cupboard & a real fire to power the heating so I would put the dough in front of that and the bread was lovely.

Maybe put it on a chair in front of the oven whilst it's heating up? Or next to a radiator?

Morning

Well I did have to give the cat some coffee, if I drink too much I won't sleep
Having said that I don't sleep properly when I'm working nights anyway I wake up 4 or 5 times (usually for the loo - doesn't happen to me usually!!) then around 1 or 1.30 I wake up again force myself back to sleep this must be when I get proper deep sleep because the alarm goes off at 3.30 and I'm

Did do a load of washing and hoovered when I got up though, could have done with dusting as well but the dust will still be there tomorrow!!

Work was absolute carp when for the first 3 hours!! Loads of phone calls, the system crashed, more phone calls from other offices asking us about it!! Thanks we know, what do you want us to do about it? We're not IT!! Try calling them GRRR So of course we were playing catch up for a while. Usually the night shifts are a bit less hectic, but I could've cried... I don't think this was helped by the email me & shift partner got about us not doing something - something that hadn't been explained to us fully in the first place

Hey ho on the plus side I got 7th NSD and I haven't looked at breadmakers yet

SF I will have to try putting the dough in front of the oven, not sure why I haven't thought of that before I might give it a go on Friday if I don't go anywhere.

Well it's the 18th today - the day the £3 OD charges are due on the now closed Santander account, so I wonder what will happen with that? I haven't cashed the cheque they sent me so if I get anything from them about it I will just send it back to them I think?

Last one tonight (well until Monday...)

Sorry about the excessive smileys - it's not as busy now

Hope the rest of your shift went okay

Fae

Fingers crossed on the Santander charges. And well done on the 7th NSD :T

I do love all the smilies

Good morning



Nearly into the last hour!!

Not much to report really, slept better yesterday but woke up earlier.
Had another NSD yesterday - up to 8 now 4 more to go for my target!!
Also downloaded the Quidco app for my phone so I can get money for checking into shops. One is Lloyds chemists, there's one a two min walk from my house, wonder how many times I can walk in & look up make up and walk out without looking like a shop lifter
I also got the app from the weekly email so I can get a free Mars bar

It's rained loads overnight was really heavy at one point, so we stood and watched for a while. It looks like it might be quite nice from about 10 this morning though, so I should be able to give my poor grubby car a wash this afternoon when I get up.

Can't wait to get home to bed now
