@ zepsgal...you might get a free fireman's lift if you're a lucky girl....
Hi,
*NSD for me today as been at home entertaining a friend. Made lentil & tomato soup, homemade poppyseed rolls & muffins, all from stuff I had in, & it made for a nice lunch. Deliberately didn't watch the Budget speech as knew I'd end up wanting to put my foot through the telly, so I've got that joy to come tonight.
*Dinner tonight using last of rubber chicken - chicken stew on jacket potato & a load of broccoli & cauli that needs using.
*Did laundry overnight on Economy 7 at 30 degrees using my stingy amount of powder.
*Did surveys.
NOT a very money saving day on the energy bill front. Have had heating on all day as had friend round. I don't mind putting 4 layers on when it's just me, but don't feel I can really expect friends to sit in extreme cold. On the subject of energy bills (yes, a moan!), I take energy readings from our gas & electricity meters every weekend & keep a chart of what we use. Have now got data going back 3 years & it's really noticeable that even being stingy, we are currently using much more than the same weeks in 2011 & 2012. I guess it's because Winter seems to be going on for ever this year. Don't think I've suddenly started feeling the cold more.....tho' with all the weightloss, I suppose I have lost a lot of my padding!
Enough of my ramblings......
Bright Blessings to everyone this Spring Equinox,

How do you manage a 10 mile walk on a work day? Im so impressed. I suspect my pedometer would be much less than that.:o

hi folks :j

I had all great plans for today but they were ruined when I had to do unpaid overtime at work - :mad: stupidly busy at the moment :mad:

Anyhow, today I have/will:

• Meals from stores
• Checked banking
• Used rail pass to get to work
• Read paper online and freebie on the train
• Charged mobile at work
• Did not go to college as would've got home too late
• Need to gen up on a local company where I have an interview tomorrow
• Spoke to another agency about a possible job in home town
• Have an early night as I am not sleeping all to well at the mo
• Text a friend to arrange a meet up to plan our trip away
• Watching bits on the sky box

That's my lot for today

Will make more effort tomorrow

Take care all

Hi there everyone,

Not a bad day really, am finding that lots of little frugal things are becoming habit.
