Morning all
Today i have:
-Been to work even though i felt like Poo. Luckily it was only 8am-1pm, but I was very ill on the drive over there
-Made my lunch instead of buying it
-Checked my OLB
Need to:
-Get in touch with DWP to see when they are going to pay me the money (£200) that they owe me (i'm sure they would have been quicker if I was owing THEM money!)
-Phone HB and see if my claim has been processed
Have a great day all0 -
Hi all,
Late one from me.
Been to a friends this morning and called at the farm shop local to her for my eggs/veg (30 free range eggs for £4.75!!) Before i left for said friends house i made a batch of golden cauliflower soup and set our butterflies free (caterpillar to butterfly project for kids)
Had breakfast and lunch from home, the husband took lunch in :j:j and dinner will be from home too. DD2 (nearly 10m is eating me out of blueberries though!!)
The husband is taking the kids out tonight in the bike trailer to 'ride the lights' which is an annual preview of the illuminations down the prom for cyclists onlyHe took DD last year and she loved it. Leaves me with DD2 to get some batch cooking done later!
MIL and her DS might be temporarily moving in with us for a few weeks (relationship breakdown) so need to get my bum into gear for clearing out the living room (which we hardly use, i use it for sewing) incase they do need to live here for a while. Might try and make a start tonight.
Got 6 parcels to wrap ready to post tomorrow xDFW Total £21,800 to clear by Dec 2022
MFW Total £184,950 £179,066 to clear by 20350 -
