Nymphadora's getting sorted (at last)

Nymphadora

I am home from work early. All the work was done and they were offering folk the chance to use holiday hours to go. Normally I wouldn't waste holidays but I am really feeling awful today.

Last night I went up to bed just after 9pm to watch TV. DH came in from work around 10.30 and I could barley open my eyes to say hi. He said I looked like death :eek: Struggled to get up to work today and needed my painkillers so I jumped at the chance to head home.

DH had the kids this morning and took them for school uniforms. Will update the receipts in a moment.

Finances are looking dire Will be in the OD now. DH said to not worry it has been an expensive month but the money situation is also not helping me feel good.

Anyway dinner will be items from the house, trying to hold off going to the shops so dinner might be some interesting combination over the next day lol

Right going to make a move and see if I can muster some energy to tidy the house.

Nymphadora

I had to have a wee nap this afternoon and still totally drained of all energy.

DD and DS did the dishes for me :T.
Dinner is cooking frozen fish with rice and beans (I will have sweetcorn instead of beans) Will have some tinned fruit afterwards for desert.

Nymphadora

Just checked the bank and we are into the OD by around £60.

Still to come of this month £99.75 worth of bills.

Birthdays still to pay for £65
Friends Wedding (totally forgot about oops) £50
DH Petrol £40
Food £100

So around £400 needed for the next 16 days :cool:

Will need to move some from our savings to cover this.

Will be very careful with the food budget and spend as little as possible. I haven't added petrol for my car as I only just put £20 in and will try and use the car as little as possible. Will need to on Sat/Sun but then shouldn't need to use it again till the following Sat/Sun.

Right off to have a think about dinner for tomorrow night think I will have to go to the shops but it will be FF as I can walk to it and if I don't have the car I can't carry much so will only buy what I need (well that's the plan lol)

Nymphadora

Kids have been bathed/showered and lights are out. They are not happy at being put to bed early but school is back next week so they need to get used to early nights.

Planning on making another batch of soup tomorrow and use this with the baquette in the freezer for a meal. Also planning on baking though will need to buy eggs but I will use the eggs for a meal as well like an omelette. I have a few potatoes in the fridge so can make some wedges.

Sunday we are out to a friends for dinner so I don't need to think about food for then :-)

Right off to sit with my cook/bake books to get some ideas.

Nymphadora

Went to the shops and left the car :j Spent £7 in Ldl, £2.02 in Co-op and £4.09 in FF. Will update receipt post in a minute.

Walking did limit my spends as I couldn't carry much.

I then attacked the jungle that is our front garden. Two bushes were so overgrown it was getting hard to walk down the path so I cut them back. Garden is still a mess though but at least you are not being attacked when you walk down the path lol

Lunch was tinned hoops on toast, yummy.

Dinner will be HM soup and pizza.

House has decended into chaos so need to find some energy to get it tidy.

I have also managed 500ml of water so far.

Nymphadora

checked bank account. £55.18 in OD. Moved £56 from savings account in, so back in credit (just). Expect to be back in OD tomorrow as some debit card transactions due out but will move money when these come out.

I have £70 in cash in the jar at home (leftover from the Gas and Elec last month and this) not sure if I should use this for the birthday money needed over the next week.

DS has a party tomorrow, I tend to put £10 in a card and buy a bag of sweets as it's better than buying some random thing the boy will probably never use. Will check with DH what he thinks we should do.

DH is off today but wanted to get some studying done (work related) so he is off to the library as kids are too noisy. He decided to walk rather than take the car. Some some pennies saved there :money:

I must say DH is far better than me at saving, he wouldn't spend a penny unless it was necessary, me on the other hand well...............:rotfl:

Nymphadora

Slow start to the day for me as I am very sore.

DD is hovering for me and DS has put away the dishes though there is a pile still to wash.

Need to check the bank but will do that later.

Need to get a couple of small things still for school but that shouldn't cost the earth. DS at a party later so need to put £10 in a card and pick up a packet of sweets.

Dinner tonight will be omelette with ham.

Veg soup for lunch as well.

Right best get a move on and get a washing done as the basket is overflowing AGAIN!!

Nymphadora

Another washing done.

Also did a it of gardening but only lasted an hour before I was shattered.

DS enjoyed the party. £10 in the card and £3 spent on card and sweets.

Dinner is cooking. I found some potatoes in the bottom of the fridge so I am making wedges to have with our omelettes. Some lettuce also needs using up so will make a salad.

Still not checked the bank will get to it tonight.

Will need to do a small shop tomorrow as no bread at all and hardly any fruit.

Have had 500ml of water so far but will have more with dinner.

Nymphadora

Had a few spends today. DS has athletes foot. Could have sworn we had some of the powder stuff to treat it but couldn't find any so had to nip to boots to get some.

Had to get a few bits from FF. Microwavable meals for everyone as I have no energy to cook and DH is out with his friend tonight. Hopefully he will only spend around £30 as he is not a big drinker and is getting the bus.

No house work done as we went to my parents for lunch and I plan to laze about the house this afternoon/evening.

On the healthy eating front I drank so much water yesterday I was never away from the loo :rotfl:

I have a new app that counts my calories. I have never been one for weighing our counting but this app takes my current weight and what I would like to be and has worked out I need to stick to 1200 calories a day. Yesterday I had 73 calories left over. Today I have 793 left over but still have dinner and a snack to have.

It's great most branded food and supermarket own food is on there so I just search for what I have had i.e hovis white bread, gives me the calories for 1 slice and then I just add how many slices I had. Also has a rough guide for home made things. Also gives you and idea of how many calories you burn doing certain excersises

So very impressed with this app and ever better it was a free one :money:

Need to update signatures again as most debt payments have come out. Might try and do that tonight.

Nymphadora

Keep getting I've been blocked message when trying to post.

Hopefully it works now.

311 calores left to take today but I have bought a bottle of fizzy juice so I may go over this.

Dinner out tomorrow at family, looking forward to it though as it's a takeaway I am sure my calorie count will be high but someone else is paying so I am going to enjoy it.
