    I've made another £50 OP today :j

    For breakfast I used some shriveled up mushrooms and had garlic mushrooms on toast :) actually, it was more like brunch as it was about 11am when I ate it :) I've also practiced the piano for nearly two hours this morning, so it's been productive!

    I'm going to make some rocky road this afternoon for DH's lunches next week and also go food shopping for the week ahead :)

    I love Saturdays :D

  • Eggs are always good :D I love garlic mushrooms on toast topped with a poached egg.. nom nom nom :D Not changed the locks, but we only got given one front door key?
    I really want one of those pod things to poach eggs in :o
    I always change the locks in a house when I move in .... never know who's got one!:eek:

    It comes straight out on our Internet banking too but doesn't show as the mortgage online doesn't have a statement breakdown, they just send it yearly - very annoying and it's putting me off making big payments yet as I'm afraid the money will get lost!

    Mine are the same ... (only managed to make 1 OP and that was birthday money last year:o) - I ended up having to phone them & ask if they'd got it ... they said they don't acknowledge them but it shows in the yearly statement

    Bit P'd atm as my mortgage provider has merged with another bank (who just happen to be my main bank ...) - don't like having all my eggs in one basket IYKWIM so might have to change it at some point but I got a fab lifetime deal so p'd off as don't really want to lose that :( (but I will at some point anyway)

    Sorry :o

    Our current account and mortgage are with the same bank - I like having it all on the same thing on internet banking, it's helpful :)

    You need to post pictures of your organiser! :D

    :o [STRIKE]If it ever [/STRIKE]When it's finished!:D

    It's a bit of a mess atm as I don't want to write things on the dividers etc until I know whether bits work or not!

    And ...... I've got 2! :o

    A small A5 one that I can carry around with me - this has got rid of the A7 diary (spending diary), A6 notebook (to do list) and A6 page / day diary (appointments) :j

    There is a calender page for each month for any appointments, a page to log any spending and a weekly planner which has my to do list & meal plan on (and a shopping list!):D

    Ohhhh *sigh* *blissful look overtaking Rising's face*

    And an A4 one which [STRIKE]has [/STRIKE] will have the household stuff in - I've got loads of pages done but haven't printed them off yet as may tweak them a bit more!:)
