Tuesday 12th March - What small DFW things will you be doing today?

Pernicious

Hi everyone,

Thanks for starting us off Josie. Does she know your daughter picked them? Might make her think twice. I think I would be offended too, if she really doesn't like them she could at least pretend it was a size problem or something! But at the same time would eventually appreciate the honesty so you know not to do the same again next year.
Echodelta - *Kicks* There ya go! :rotfl:
Ziggy - Hope you feel better soon, forget about work just get yourself 100% again.
Minnie - Good luck with the appointment tomorrow, hope it all goes well.
DNMS - It is stressful but just think how worthwhile it'll be if you keep at it! Something will come along that's right soon.
Sazdaz - Sorry, I did chuckle a little! Where abouts are you to have that much snow?! It didn't even settle here down South!


Today I have/will:-

• Made use of free water at work
• B/L/D from stores
• HM porridge pot for brekkie
• Log calories on free app
• Staying in for my lunch break to avoid spending
• Dinner from meal plan - HM breaded chicken tonight, mmm! Looking forward to seeing if the quality is any better than Mr T's as we went to the butchers at the weekend, 5kg of chicken for less than what we'd pay at Mr T's & they're so much bigger!
• Checked postcode lottery
• Charged phone at work
• Heating off as long as possible & on low when needed
• Check online banking
• Checked for new mystery shopping opportunities, just missed out on one
• Enter some comps
• Do at least 1 survey, need to get back into this
• Declutter & flylady
• Go to prepaid Pole class tonight
• Pop to Sainsbugs afterwards to use less petrol, need to stick to our list! Only need a few bits of fruit & veg & must remember to use the 2 vouchers I have
• Ponder why our electricity bill has gone up so much this year...I didn't manage to get them down much from £66 a month (gas & elec) & after studying the bill its becuase our electricity use has increased greatly! Not happy I didn't think my Dad's power tools from when he tiled our kitchen floor would have created that big a cost...so must be something on top of that.

Hope everyone has a great, MSE day x

Thanks perni! Think am feeling a bit fed up as just have been at home, resting for 3 days now, the house is a tip & it is a roller coaster going for jobs all the time. One minute excited nervous, the next dejected, spending all my time job hunting. Turning into eeyore today! Must get better and go out for a long walk, plant some seeds and clean the house!

Good evening from Thaland.

Today I have:-

Collected an 800 baht loan repayment.

Agreed to give the guy a further loan. (He is reliable and pays me a good rate of interest)

Made an offer of 23,500 baht for a Yamaha Fino motorcycle. (asking price is 25,000)

Taught English for 2 hours earning 800 baht

Sent a reminder email to someone who has borrowed money from me but is a little slow in paying it back.

Its horrible that cycle of job hunting isnt it. Sorry to hear. You will forget all about this stage when you are in another job, then its all hands to the pump again.

Hi all

Thanks to Josie for starting the thread - perhaps mil didn't realise how you would've taken it

Feeling a bit more motivated today....for some reason I was incredibly upset and everything got too much (which meant me getting upset at work ) hence the smaller than usual list

Today I have/will do:

• Meals from stores - although I did buy a bag of crisps and a kit kat
• Used rail pass to get to work
• Read free paper on the train and others online
• LSD - got away with less than £1
• Checked banking
• Paid odd money into my account - leaving an emergency £6 in my purse
• Need to have a quick shower
• Went for a job interview at work - decided I don't actually want the job as I am fed up with the commute and the hours are even worse !
• Still no news on the interview I attended on Friday ..... Will chase on Thursday if theres no news

Had a bit of exciting news yesterday/today.....
Got home last night to a letter from a debtor - phoned up at lunchtime today as their figure was less than the figure on step changes website and the lower figure is correct :T so my dfw should be 2 months sooner !! :T:T:T

So happy

Take care all

Down on the South East Coast in Kent. Starting to defrost now.

I know everyone keeps saying that, but people who live near me that work in canterbury couldnt get through the roads to get to Canterbury, yet those that did finally get there said there was nothing.

determined_new_ms

yeah I think Folkestone, Dover way into Canters was bad - but then those roads are always bad when there's snow. Its been cold but a lovely brisk & bright day (from my lounge though!)
