Hi

Got the bar job :j

Went to the pub and had a couple of drinks after as OH had gone back to the pub after coming home after the 2nd football match :eek:

Got in thought I could smell chips did not think much of it - OH had bought Chinese :mad: more money & I ate when I would not have done otherwise

Have not done much today. Started applying for a graduate scheme, OH has found a series to watch on netflix.

Had Sunday dinner :eek: - chicken from freezer, veg from freezer, mash, aldi roasts and my diaster of an attempt at yorkshire pudding

Done a little SB.

Have recived payslip.

OH has gone to the pub has text and asked - don't think he gets it sometimes

rubyinamountainofrocks_2

Woah today feels rushed lol

What have I been upto?

Did not feel great when I woke up & also thought I may have a water infection but luckily I have felt fine all day

Handwashed uniform - disorganised much :eek: noticed we should not need washing stuff this month - I was convinced we needed softner a couple of weeks ago :eek: (the trick is to do less washing )

Got train after 10 so could use railcard

Worked- was supposed to be silly 4 hour shift but stayed for 1.5 hr extra

Free drink

Posted old phone to A*da & textbook sold on amzon

OH took cobs from home - one for lo chicken & other for lo egg & bacon sarnie filler

OH has paella for tea - I think I might stick with the theme and have Spanish omelette :rotfl:

OH and I have been together for 3 years - everyone thought we would last 6 months (I don't like being wrong ) and we have not killed each other yet :D:D:D

Hey

Determined to have a productive and MSE day today - but if I post here first I am more likely to do it

Cup of tea at the ready

Have checked onepoll - done 10p survey now over £30 - getting there. Reminds me will check out pureprofile.

Have SB vids on.

Have booked family planning appointment.

Need to go bank and pay in a couple of quid to pay DD.

OH has taken some bread to work - thought there was nothing in the house for lunch so I suggested soup - turns out he has some at work!

Trying to make today a NSD.

rubyinamountainofrocks_2

Hmm okay today has been semi-productive

Seem to have got better as the day went on.

Paid in £3 to bank account.

Tidied both bedrooms - must have only spent 20 mins or so in each but they look so much better - need to keep it that way...

Doing SB/SBTV & did daily survey.

Kept an eye on survey sites & filled in onepoll & VO. Pureprofile did not seem to like me - links to join did not work.

Applied for 2 (different) part time jobs at my local 'big' Mr A.

Put a load of washing on and got another one ready to go in.

Sorted downstairs & kitchen including washing up - aiming to only use dishwasher once before Mon when going on Sun hol.

Has been a NSD

Had HM soup from freezer for lunch - sorry LO had to go in bin - I tried I froze it in the first place and I attempted it again but that one was a fail - think I added far too much spice - even for me - shame as I've made soup before and it has been quite nice

Thinking of having quiche (from freezer) chips & beans for tea as have one of those awful fridge packs in the fridge (the tins were expensive in comparison at the time).

Signed up for first mystery shop - only £8 but don't need to spend a lot, won't take much time and I can walk there.

Drank lots of tea

Morning

No OH today as he is at a funeral - not someone who he knew very well but still awful especially for his family.

MSE activity -

Swagging (I'm a vampire)
Got stuff soaking ready for washing up - doing other bits still with what would do anyway
Meals from stores
Shower with freebies
Will keep an eye on survey sites
If do mystery shop today - try to buy something needed like sweets /bread/milk/razors/tablets
Charity clicks (trying to get back in the habit)!

OH spent £30 shopping yesterday - £4 on shower gel - 2 bottles each & 25 pound on food - mainly useful stuff & stuff that could be frozen although I don't think we neccessarily needed to go so soon & also bought some essentials such as chocolate & nuts - on a serious note he bought Sainsbugs own brand nuts - usually buys branded - which we liked - have tried Mr A own brand and did not like them.

OH watched football on normal TV last night (fine by me - I had put it on before he got in coz it was best thing on freeview at the time :eek: apart from maybe a Sheldon I had watched an hour before ). We then watched series on Neflix - Jericho - I have been half watching it and it seems quite good. OH has been using a blanket to keep warm at night - he does seem to wonder why I don't bother usually - probably b/c I am wearing 'normal' clothes - jeans or leggings, a vest top & maybe a cardigan & he is in boxers & a T?

Morning

Today I have -

Showered with freebies
CC DD has come out for min payment
Toast with bread from freezer & 2nd cup of tea for brekkie
OH has taken cobs to work - will probably have bananas bought other day as were too ripe & then he realised had no soup after getting back to work from shop - so has also taken 2 cans of soup so has some there
Sausages defrosting - with mash, veg & gravey tonight - also good as trying to use things that have been in freezer longest (as obvious as it sounds)!
Swagbucks
Have washed up

To do

(First)! Mystery Shop
Pay in money into 2 different accounts for old debts for OH

rubyinamountainofrocks_2

Not a great day MSE wise

OH has suddenly remembered money needed for DDs - have paid this in for him - his mum had given him some money from hols so used this and will replace with my wage (payday tomorrow & will also collect pub wages)
I decided to be sensible on my mystery shop & buy things I would actually use - got home and I had actually been charged for the most expensive item twice rather than the 2 sepeartely - would usually have noticed but was to focused on the other stuff

On a more positive note I have been clothes 'shopping' in the wardobe/wash basket etc - to get stuff ready for next week Also got kitchen roll, toilet roll & toileteries from home (and tea bags) will add to as gets nearer

Doing SB round doing other stuff - hoping to get one more voucher in before we go and when we are back I will start ordering stuff Pleased coz my biggest weakness has always been spending on other people
