OrangeFairy

Evening all

Great day today. Not overly MSE day as me and DDs had a trip to town to buy them new trainer, flip flops and some school bits.

But other than stuff we needed we spent £1.50 on milkshakes and took a pre-made picnic to the park with my bestie and her children for a play and a game of rounders. Have had an MSE week in terms of entertaining the kids.

Today

MSE activities
Text lady about my interview in Tuesday
Watching Olympics
Found walking trainers for DDs which were £5 off and then 20% off sp two pairs cost £16
Got lift in and out of town with hubby on his way to and from work to avoid bus fare of £7
Check banking
Surveys
Hubby varnishing outdoor table and chairs given to us by MIL. Will look lovely and we didn't have to buy a set!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. We are predicted rain tomorrow but I really hope they are wrong! x

• [STRIKE]check banking & transfer my 1/2 of wine costs into joint account[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]all meals from stores[/STRIKE]
• pop to work and pick up butter left in fridge (rather than buying another tub) decided while I was at lidl to just buy some 75p, saving some time :T
• [STRIKE]go to Lidl in a minute and stock up in the 1/2 price coffee offer[/STRIKE] [COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]other than coffee spent £4.01 on bananas, 2 aubergines, pasta & butter
• Only spend £5 of personal cash
• Mrs Flylady bathroom

opps didn't do very much! Spent the whole day in bed!!! :T was fantastic though and feeling very relaxed now

So I intend to finish yesterday's plans and also:

• go to the bootfair in a minute to see if I can find any wine making equipment
• "bought" 2 Xmas presents off of Amazon for oh - a book of walks in Kent and a scrabble dictionary - used gift card I got for changing banks so free to me
• Roast dinner today - will strip the carcas for stock

Think that's me. Weather here looks lovely today. Have a great Sunday

• fed and watered the chickens - 3 eggs yesterday
• WM run overnight on Economy 7 electricity
• hung washing on line not tumble dryer

• checked for surveys
• had NSD yesterday

I will also:

• clean out chickens in exchange for more eggs
• keep an eye on surveys
• get a corset to fitting stage
• find all DH's paperwork for tax credits renewal as he still hasn't done this and only 3 days left before the deadline :mad:
• DH to go to Mr T's so he pays!!
• make Black Forest cake for large gathering on Tuesday - store cupboard ingredients
• watch Grand Prix (not DFW but very necessary anyway)
• quick shower instead of long bath

• have another NSD

That'll keep me out of the pub today :rotfl:

Hopefully I'll manage to post this before I lose connection again:eek: - it's always bad at the weekends (ISP say it's my settings but why does it work fine the rest of the time:mad:) - but is worse than usual and I can only think that water's got in somewhere.

We had the most torrential rain yesterday - literally like the rain you see in hurricanes & it was bouncing. Both cats were out & weren't amused - opened back door & they both came pelting in .... don't think I've ever seen them move so fast;)

Have a good Sunday all
