  • Late weekend post for me, so it's more about what I have done :) hello to all the newbies and the ol' regulars. Lovely to see the weekend thread so busy for a change:D this weekend I have:

    Gone to very close friend wedding, was in home town so drove and stayed at home rather than hotel. Bought present 3 months ago and card in sale when a card shop was closing down earlier this year. Did spend some on drinks for other half, but, I drank tap water all day. Was a lovely day :D
    Need to take cardigan back that I bought to go with dress, but, it was warm enough without it ;)
    Fed various groups of friends over the weekend, but, all but a pizza was homemade (although got on from a shop rather than order out). Planned for it though so had food in
    3 loads of washing, dry inside on airer
    Tidy round so house looks presentable for week ahead
    Meal plan for next week, based on what we have - including now lots of meals with cheese as they had a cake made of cheese and gave us loads of lovely cheese to bring home :)
    Washing away
    Check banking
    Posted books to amaz0n traders and CDs to music magp1e
    Returned an item I was sent in error and posted 1 eBay parcel
    Keep eye on 4 things selling in a couple of days

    Think that's all - enjoy what's left of your weekend everyone :j
  • Hey guys~! Sounds like everyone's been really productive.

    I'm going to try and post to these threads more often. I'm definitely needing more motivation at the moment!

    Today:

    - Has been a NSD day. I got some shopping for lunches, but my house mate owed me, so he bought everything! (including today's tea!) =D Bargain.
    - Did a load of washing, stuck it on the drier.
    - Had friends over and we watched Dexter! (We're re-watching it with them, they haven't seen it yet.)
    - Listed 27 things on ebay!
    - Checked banking and updated spreadsheet (counted out some coins to! I have two full bags, but I generally wait until I have five.)

    I'm also trying to decide whether to cash out on MySurvey. I have enough for £3 with paypal.
  • Hi everyone - late posting! Been a very busy and lovely weekend :beer:

    Small things I have done:

    * been to my allotment twice :D, was very lucky to get a load of beetroot (I am talking several kilos! :eek:), a massive courgette, 2 small cucumbers, some parsley

    * a very friendly fellow allotmenter gave me some advice about what certain plants are and some broad beans, shallots and dwarf beans seed :T

    * made beetroot soup for dinner with my friend last night, and a beetroot cake (beetroot and the allotment featured heavily in my weekend! :p)

    * returned something to B&Q and got a refund

    * my lovely friend who visited last night gave me some very useful advice re doing up our house

    * had a skype session with my lovely love last night - he is currently in Texas until Wednesday - miss him a lot!

    * emailed someone off of freecyle re some free manure

    * checked banking - its not good! Don't get paid until 25th :eek: Although don't need anything and have the allotment to keep me out of trouble :money:

    * made packed lunch for tomozza

    * worked out GC for the month so far - its only 1 week in and I'm halfway through the budget. That said I definitely think I could do a fiscal fast for the next week....

    * watched The Golden Compass and loved it! :)

    * went for coffee with my best friend yesterday and she treated me - naughty but lovely laydee!

    Ok think that's everything. Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
