@Foxgloves - I always do experimental transfers too! Eek, that must have been so scary! I read about someone who transferred into savings 1000 each month for 3 years, but it turned out that she hadn't realized it was someone else's account - and they spent it all that really gave me the fear

Hi all

Haven't been around for ages but figured it would be good to start posting again!! Hope you're all OK.

Yesterday I spent £20 on drinks for a party, £2.50 on bread. So not entirely a LSD but we did get £3.77 from the solar panels..so that offset it a bit. Still desperately trying to work out what I can sensibly put against the debts this month. Have already made a big repayment on Monday and just counting the days until I can do more.

Today we will raid the allotment for salad and fruit, take HM cookies to share at a friends and have a NSD..whoop, whoop!

Hi Gang!

Quick update - completed my list... AND made a chocolate cake & 2x banana loaves for the boys in work from stores for tomorrow's early shift breakfast... They were tired and grumpy this morning!! :rotfl:

Amazingly, when I checked the banking - the student loan company had paid back the money they owe me!! The ranting paid off!!
Bonus - straight into the holiday fund!! :j

So all in all, a good weekend - off to enjoy the last of the sunshine on a bike ride through the nature reserve!!

Catch up tomorrow all!! x

Evening DFW-Jedis, :wave:

Didn't really get going til 3pm s'afternoon. Oh well, it is the weekend and some folk making a lot of noise in the street in our usually quiet neighbourhood at 3am woke me:

The list:

:idea: Harvested radished from the garden to go with seafood salad.


:idea: Today's entertainment: too hot to go out so watched two DVDs from the cupboard and will watch Top Gear through the BBC website. (Dish not currently receiving anything.) Read book I forgot I'd owned.


:idea: Short showers.


:idea: Plan the week ahead so as to minimise the stress.


:idea: Dried washing outside.
