    Today I'm having a NSD, and am also going to use up the peppers and mushrooms from the fridge by making fajitas for tea (they would need throwing out tomorrow probably if I don't get them used).

    I've also done the Piggy clicks thingies and gone through our budget for the month (not pretty but we should just about manage).

    Jet you have just reminded me I need to check my council tax banding too... how do I go about doing it? x:A

    if you go to the homepage of MSE somewhere near the bottom of the list of things to do is all of the information and links that you need.

    good luck - I have just requested a re assessment for mine


    today in a MSE way I am.....

    mostly eating from storecupboard :rolleyes:
    checked my online banking and had a credit from Amazon for DVD sales :T
    posted off a book which sold on green metropolis :D
    a journalist is phoning me later about reclaiming mis sold endowments and re claiming unfair bank charges :o
    have also tried for a new kitchen table on freecycle ( fingers crossed )
    sending off grant application for DD
    going to have another look at my CV in readiness to send it off to recruitment consultants

    also need to do a bit of ironing but thats not very MSE so probably wont :eek:

    have a good day everybody :j

  • So far my will power is holding out and I've done the following:

    got free parking at the hospital (took relative and the out-patients receptionist gave me a free-parking pass - saved £3).

    resisted urge to buy coffee and breakfast in the hospital.

    Came home via work and collected petrol and expenses money (£23).

    Used up leftovers for lunch and plan tea from stuff already in freezer.

    So far NSD but - and it's a big BUT - Am taking son shopping this evening (his budget) so will need to see if will-power holds out then!!!!!!!!!!...........

    have a good day everyone.
