Hi Old Stylers,

I've not been around for a while and know its a bit cheeky to now be posting asking for your help but I could really do with some advice. I have a thread here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=5192042#post5192042 explaining a little more. If anyone is able to help I'd really appreciate it.

Love and hugs to all,
Al.

Morning all :wave:

Hope everyone is well,

oops a daisy, go and see your local Citizens Advice Bureau, it is free and they should be able to advise you

kiwichick, sorry to hear about your problems, I can't offer any advice as I have never been in that situation, but I'm sure someone will be along soon who can help

Quite bright here , but work today, so I will be stuck indoors

Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning all.
Hugs to everyone.
Well still dark and miserable here, did do 2 washes yesterday but both ended up in Tumble D, which i hate using. So no washing being done today as weather report says it should brighten up from thursday so am going to try and wait until then.
Today plan to clean kitchen floor and general tidy.
Also may start to look through meal plans again and do a costing of them, i did this at first and knew to the penny how much each one cost, but after reading the feed 4 for £29.99 thread, want to go through them again and if the results are good i may post them on the thread. I feel sure i only spend approx £50 a week for 6 of us including toileries and all goodies.

Well done oppsadaisy on the stopping smoking, this is something i am thinking about doing AGAIN, but want to plan it better than last time, really could do with saving the money.So any tips on planning to stop would be great.

Tea tonight is HM pizza with hm chips.
Have a great day everyone

Hi All,

I've lost my 'ooomph' and haven't been flying/doing the OS things I usually would. I haven't got any patience this morning and feel totally stressed - oh yet again!!

I have done DD's b'fasts and snuggled them up on the settees in front of the tv while I have my MSE and caffiene fix - hopefully then normal service will resume.

I'm not going in to work again today - I have an exam at 1.45 pm and am just going to take it easy until then. I want to get stuff done but I'm just going to do what I feel comfortable with.

Hope every1 has a good day and hugs to all those who need/want them.

Luv Jxx

Hi everyone.

Today I have the schooling to do. Then this afternoon I have to take my 16yr old to the local college for an interview.

Didn't get my ironing done yesterday. Probably won't now until Friday or Saturday. Got some laundry done yesterday though, and will get more done today.

Need to put some bread on sometime today. Might put up with the cheap cut loaf today, and put a loaf on tonight before going to bed.

Tonight I'm going to a prayer meeting.

Yesterday I made a start on one of the cross stitch projects to give for pressies. Got quite a bit on a knitted square done for a blanket, and some of my waistcoat done as well, so felt quite pleased with myself :-) Shall endeavour to get more done on some if not all the prijects during the day :-)

That's about it today.

Everyone have a blessed and prosperous day.

Hi everyone hope you don't mind me and my spasmodic 'popping over to OS'!

Have been up since 6 with OH and done some washing, folded laundry and put away, made lunches and tidied up... am defrosting HM bolognaise for this evening and trying wholemeal pasta for the first time with it... hope it's edible, i need to loose as much weight as possible.

OH's parents visiting at the weekend, so need to start getting things shipshape, but have w*rk first, so that will have to wait until this evening.

Have a lovely day everyone xxx

Morning all - hope it's a nice one where you are - not here though and I left my cycle helmet out in the rain
dd has lost her swimming hat and has borrowed the money for a new one (it must have run away in the night as she assured me that she was packed and ready last night - hmmm) - she will pay me back with 2 hours of unpaid labour tonight - yay!
off to w*rk - see you all later

Hello every-one I hope you are all well. I havent been on this thread for ages and just thought i would pop in to say hello. I had a very bad nights sleep due to unwell little`uns. Ds and Dd have a raised temperature and sore throat. Hope it doesnt last too long.Dd started a new school last week and is already having a day off! Cant be helped i guess.I need to get some washing dried from yesterday, as it poured here.usual tidy up and hoover. Still have lots of boxes around as we moved 5 weeks ago.I was going to start painting our living room today but not sure i have the energy now.I will try to pop in more often than I have been doing.. Take care all and have a good day.Love Elaine

Have just popped in quickly with a cup of coffee and just noticed that we didn't hear from AMIE yesterday - hope she's OK? AMIE - where are you?
Have whipped through yesterday's thread but not really read it properly - ANNIESTAR - I'm appalled that anyone could PM you like that! QUEENIE - hope the chook is OK? (((hugs))) to all who need them or want them.

I'm going to race through my chores - the list of which has increased since the last time I posted due to DH saying 'can you just this and can you just that', and hope to drop back in later. Have a good day!
