Saturday & Sunday 20th/21st April - What small DFW things will you do this weekend??!
Comments

Hi everyone :hello:
Gosh it's quiet...
I've had a quiet weekend around the house. Finally got our fitted wardrobes into the bedroom through the window(!) so now it's just a case of fitting them... Missing a plank of wood so it's not going to be today but we're a lot closer than we were when they were lying on the living room floor!
I had a bad fall yesterday - swiped off my feet by 2 x 30kg dogs (mine and his pal) and landed smack on my back with my skull cracking on the ground. Ouch. I'm wondering whether to visit my trusted chiropractor - so that might be a £40ish not budgetted for... I've got bupa so could get referred but think I then have to pay excess - £150 I think, which could be quite a few chiro sessions... Will need to have a think.
My small things:
- £3 survey
- Checked up on £37 mystery shopping cheque
- Waiting patiently on my £40 for marking papers
- Updated money spreadsheet with incomings
- Shopped at @ldi :T
- Moved some money around to stop an acc going overdrawn
- Night in tonight
- Arranged to meet friends in my town rather than theirs- Quite cheeky I know but I am going to their house in 2 weeks and the train is £25 - didn't want to spend £50 instead :cool:
Catch up soon folks0 -
Ouch La Escocesa, sounds horrible
hope you're feeling ok
Thanks for starting us off DNMS - looks like everyone's playing in the sun!
Today I will:
Check banks
Check CC
Rework May budget to pay off CC in full - hit it a little hard this past week after finally breaking up with OH of 7 years... Thankfully had more in Paypal than I thought, but need to reign this in. Should be getting some refunds so need to work out what I will have to pay off.
Finish presentation for job interview on Thursday
Package up returns to be sent tomorrow and books to Amazon
Sort out posting for next week
Quick tidy up
List a couple of things on Ebay - only auction things though, have a couple to go on BIN but will be away for most of the week so won't be able to post.
£2 coin in pot
Spend a little time pampering myself this evening once presentation and homework done!
Have a lovely Sunday all

Evening all!
The weekend is finally done, I am ready for work tomorrow including having made my lunch as well! I am aiming to lose 1/2 a stone so have been very strict with myself and WILL NOT take my purse with me either.
So this was me today:
- Checked bank (£18.56 left in budget until Friday, nothing needed until then though except perhaps a £15 diesel top up)
- Finalised budget for April wages, bonus this month so another large payment off only interest charging card
- Take note of tyre size to speak to tyre supplier tomorrow
- NSD, got OH to get me some pitta breads
- Did all housework and washing
- Continue to research cheapest good quality baking trays
- Chilling evening with myself tonight! DD is in bed asleep and OH is at his house
Night all!
