Morning all:) hi Happy:wave:

Didn't get to dentists after all yesterday as Dd was unwell, so have rebooked for next Thursday, likewise with doctors, rebooked to next Friday. Never mind, these things happen.

Slept well last night and woke at 7:T

This weekend I have no plans at all, DBf is here for the weekend so will just chill out. Had pie and mash for dinner last night which was yummy. Doing us a roast lamb for dinner tonight:)

Need to redo freezer inventory this weekend as got a bit side tracked while I was ill and I need to check exactly what I have in, then I can do the meal plan for the coming week.

Might do some baking this afternoon to fill the tins, if not will be tomorrow sometime.

Have a lovely weekend everyone x

Morning:)

Freezer inventory done yesterday and now all organised and I know what needs using up this week, lots of bread in there so will be planning to use that to create more space:)

Meal plan done for the week, have mushrooms that need using so am going to make a lasagne today and freeze for next Fridays dinner.

Roast lamb was gorgeous, have leftovers so may make a lamb curry with it. Will probably end up spending a large portion of the day in the kitchen, prepping for the coming week.

Lots to get done today so short update, have a good Sunday:)

Happy Monday everyone:)

Got loads done yesterday:T

Made 2 lasagnes, one for freezer and one for fridge. Made a lamb curry, yum, which I had for dinner last night and also made some twinks, jam crumblies and a banana bread for the tins:) kids had various for dinner, using leftovers.

Banking done this morning, direct debits and standing orders all gone out as expected:) just waiting for the last few transactions to go through and then onto a new financial month. Also, finally paid off my Next account today:D it's been hanging around for way too long and is far too tempting with the new spring stuff, so will be waiting until the payment has cleared and then CLOSING the account :T:j

Plans for today..... Studying and that's it. Although I have a few phone calls to make but will do them this afternoon after I've packed the books away.

Have a lovely day what ever you are doing x

Morning:)

Very productive studying day yesterday. Got loads done plus completed the icma which is another thing ticked off my list. Finished homework for maths and went over the last lesson again. Missed last week due to toothache so really want to make sure I don't miss anymore lessons. Have a plan written out for everything I want to get done this week and am on track so far:)

Dinner last night was pizza for the kids and curry for me, tonight will probably be another use up meal dinner as I'm usually too tired to cook anything fabulous after college on a Tuesday.

Banking checked and all in order, only one thing out today. Last transactions for the month go through tomorrow and then that's it until Monday. Although I do a quick check everyday just in case. I do zero banking which means every penny is accounted for and my account ends up at zero by month end. This works for me:)

Nipped to shops just before school run yesterday and picked up two new pairs of school trousers for DD as her skirts were getting a little short. There's always something eh!

Plans for today:

- this morning....college
- this afternoon.... A bit of housework and general tidy up
- this evening....an hours study (maths) and then flop on the sofa to watch holby and death in paradise:D

Have a good day all x

Morning:)

Managed to do everything I had planned to do yesterday, a day at home just studying today, seeing how much I can get done, hoping to make a serious dent in the current chapter meaning that I should have finished all reading and note taking for this assignment by Friday, fingers crossed:)

A NSD yesterday, purse stayed firmly shut all day. Banking checked and last transactions gone through and my account is now at zero for January. New financial month for me starts on Monday:)

Must have a check of meal plan and decide on dinner for tonight, I will need to get bits from freezer. Had a look in freezer last night, moved a few things around and I have one free drawer:D :j this use up plan is really working:)

Off to make a cuppa and have a little browse, have a lovely day...
