Sat 16th/Sun 17th March - What small DFW things will you do this weekend??

Oh, P.S - Forgot to say @Josiebabie - I've been experimenting with a lot less washing powder too, as it doesn't last five minutes if you use the huge amount the manufacturers state on the box. I've got a little measuring cup that I keep in mine - it's 50ml & I use one of those for a wash. Just looked on the box & for hard water areas (which it is here), it recommends 165ml for not very dirty clothes & 230 ml for dirtier ones! I don't have to wash dirty football kit or anything, but we do get pretty muddy down the veggie garden & I still find that my little 50ml measure of powder gets stuff clean....plus I mostly wash everything except white shirts at 30 degrees only. If anyone hasn't tried cutting powder down yet it's well worth it.

I've also decided not to have my weekly accumulator and lottery tickets.

Hiya,

Thanks for starting us off Josie.
Candy - Ah sorry, glad you had a good time.

Today I have/will:-

• B/L/D from stores
• Log calories on free app
• Dinner from meal plan - Pie & veg
  
• Checked postcode lottery
• Charging phone via pc
  
• Heating off as long as possible & on low when needed - currently off but will probably need it on later
  
• Check online banking
• Check for new mystery shopping opportunities
• Enter some comps
• Do at least 1 survey, need to get back into this
• Declutter & flylady
• Go to second job tonight
• Get some free exercise either on my pole or might go for a run, maybe not if those black clouds don't disappear!
• Free guitar lesson on R0cksmith
• Either list some things on fleabay or try my hand on the FB selling group, been meaning to do that for a while
• Declined an invitation to a birthday meal out...I feel a bit mean but he's chosen a restaurant without a set price & I just know we'll end up splitting the bill evenly so even if we go with the best intentions of only ordering a main etc we could end up paying out a lot! Will try & catch them for a drink after my shift.
  

Hope everyone has a great, MSE day x

Thank you zenshi! Do you mean the tip? x

Yes I did. I call it the tip but a lot don't know what I mean so I thought I'd be posh

Hello All

@Determined NewMS good luck with your interview prep for Thursday.

@Foxgloves - Thats brilliant you could fit into your goal garment already, well done you!

Me today:

1. Worked till midday.
2. Checked bank accounts. Humm. Think we are in for a bumpy ride down to the 25th, if not a crash landing
3. Shopped at Lidl. Left DH and DS in the car, managed to spend £25 and that will do the whole week plus some into next week. Bargains included their Turkey steak which is on offer at £1.30 for a pack at the moment. Not sure of usual price but its a good deal so got 2. Thinking Thai Green curry, stirfries etc.
4. A customer booked with me today for a few weeks time so thats cash into the coffers.
5. Have had to spend £12 today on my DS's dance class show for next weekend. (£6 per adult) sucks but you cant pay for classes and then not pay to see their shows.

Thats me.

morning gang

Yesterday was good - my nieces are getting used to hubby and I. And even better my brother bought us lunch, so when I got home I transferred the money to my aat fund

I also decided to open up my sealed pot so I have spare money for my liverpool trip......I hadn't planned on opening it up, but that is what it is there for

Hope everyone is ok, hugs to those that need them and hi to all new members.

Today I have/will:

• Meals from stores
• Checked online banking
• Need to make lunch for work tomorrow (I am spending too much at work)
• Watching bits n bobs on the sky box
• Having an NSD

This is a shockingly small list, but I am sure more things will crop up through the day
