Hello everyone!

Bit of a lazy day round here, but feeling a bit ill and recuperating from Christmas and New Year!

Today's little list:

supermarket shop, based on meal plan for the week. Not too expensive and lots of very healthy stuff! Forgot my clubcard though, need to find it! Must be in another bag. Will put the points on next time. Well annoyed with myself though, as planned rubber chicken but then realised when i got home the flipping chicken goes out of date TODAY! AARRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!

Turned down the bathroom heater. This is an achievement as it requires a screwdriver to do it...

Wash on 30degs

Made a big pan of lettuce, pea and pear soup for lunches this week. YUM! and healthy!

off to the gym when i pick my OH up from work.

organised the shelves in my lounge

FPCL

do some tidying

cleared out fridge and food cupboard - can actually see what's in there now!

Well afternoon lovelies

After the lllaaazzzzyyyyyy indulgence of Christmas/New Years I am back here, getting my game face on again. This is the time of year I need a heap of energy just to get out of my own inertia and get my life rolling again. Ah, but what a holiday...

Anyways, today I am/have:

1. Organised my month's/week spending and bill paying.
2. Got my pooch booked in to the vets for a check up.
3. Have done half my shopping at click and collect.
4. Am getting my schedule for work and play completed.
5. Cooked all food for the day.
6. Going to talk said pooch for a walk.
7. Practised on my guitar.
8. Am looking into life drawing classes, luckily around here they are very cheap.
9. Cleaned up all holiday decorations.

I think thats about it. Welcome back to reality.

Moneysaving stuff today...

• Checked online banking & updated spending diary - most DDs have now come out & my budget seems under control
• Drove roller-skate car to the yard again, rather than super-expensive 4x4
• Taught one lesson so £30 earned
• 2nd SFD for January
• Cheked Ebay selling which is due to end tomorrow & current profit of £10.94, finger's crossed for an even better total tomorrow!
• Cleaned a couple of leather horse boots to save them deteriorating & prolonging their life

That's all I can think of! :j

Have a lovely evening everyone

Hi New Year money savers,
Well, mr f was snoring like a deranged warthog first thing, so I decided to get up & get an early start.
-Did ironing. Managed to get half of it done while still on Economy 7 tariff & switched off for last item.
-Did rubber lamb. It did a roast dinner last night. Made 2 shepherd's pies & 2 trays of lamb slices in gravy for freezer.
-Lamb bone in SC for stock.
-Did meal plans for next week.
-Wrote shopping list.
-Took down all the Christmas decs, packed away, watered tree well & stood it back outside for re-potting in Spring.
-Sorted through bin bag of used Christmas wrapping paper, ribbons, etc, & saved the best stuff to re-use next year.
-Pulled the last of our homegrown leeks.
-Resumed the diet! Proven to be money saving in our house as portions are measured meaning food lasts longer.
-Did 3 competitions.
-Did not need to do planned top-up shop as discovered both the missing ingredients in stock already.....to be fair, tho', I did look for them yesterday after 2 glasses of wine!
Cheers,
Foxgloves x

Second post in two days, I am going for this!


I just updated my signature and have only reduced my debt by £29 since I last updated, this really does make me sad. Yes I have lots of nice things, and I needed clothes due to losing weight but £29 - seriously? Time to start saying "no" to things, including too many trips to coffee shops in town, I live in town for gods sake!!!

This is/was me today;
- B/L/D from stores
- Dinner was from mealplan
- Checked banking and updated house spreadsheets
- Updated new diary from work outlook
- Stuck to diet! No naughty stuff today :-)
- Sold a purge for £2.50 commission
- Organised for friend to come here on Saturday instead of going to naughty coffee shop
- NSD!
- Made my healthy wrap for tomorrow's lunch
- Updated debts spread sheet and signature
- Just about to have an early night and feel sorry for myself over my finances, hopefully this will be a kick up the a$$!!!

That is me for today, see you all tomorrow!
