Hi everyone

I've just tried to buy my season ticket online but the only delivery option is £6 special delivery!! The station I go from doesn't have a ticket office so I'll either need to make a special trip into town/busy station to get one or pay the £6...or buy weekly tickets from the machine in the station that I go from, which works out as £14 extra a month... :mad:

Just getting on with all my other bits and bobs today with probably a trip to town centre train station mixed into the bag...

Roll on this bl00dy house move!!

Oh - I don't know if anyone is interested - but last night I made a Kiva loan with some of my Christmas money. https://www.kiva.org

Kinda feels like a charitable donation but you (hopefully) get your money back to either re-lend or send back to your paypal a/c...

If anyone is interested let me know and I'll invite you as then I get another $25 to lend to a worthy cause.

Morning guys :wave: Hurry to it still being the weekend :j I really didn't get very much of my list done yesterday dgd not being very well doesn't leave much time for anything else. However my friend gave me a bag of fresh coffee, a few heroes and 2 mini bags of popcorn :T

Things for today:

* finish off monthly meal plan
* drop dgd home at lunchtime - breath a relaxing sigh of relief. I love her to pieces but it is tiring when she needs to be constantly held!
* Iron, photo and list baby bits on eBay. Today is still free listing
* list bits also on facebay
* all meals from stores
* stick to diet - 3rd day running!
* go to the gym with oh & have a suana
* couple of loads of washing & hang on line & then on dryer
* prep lunch & snacks for work tomorrow
* iron clothes for work tomorrow
* paint radiator
* finish off nappy bag - purchased a bag out of a CS the other day so I can use the clasp. Cost 50p :T
* Flylady the kitchen
* watch a film this evening

Ok that'll do me. Want to actually get it all done today! x

Can you tell me what the budget apps are please so I can download some? Many thanks,

I'm using a couple of Apps on my phone at the moment. The one I really like is called Expense Manager and the other one is TOSHL Finance. They both let me track income and expenses from both my bank account and my purse. The TOSHL one gives you feedback on how you are doing as well but the expense manager one is more detailed.


Today I am going to:


1: Go to Farm Foods and purchase things for packed lunches for myself and DD2. Might also pop into the Spar shop across the road from Farm Foods as well as I want to try using Shop,Scan, Save.
2: Clean kitchen, Living room and Bathroom as I am back to work tomorrow.
3: Sort my bag out and make sure all is organised for going back to work tomorrow for myself, DD1 and DS. Am dreading getting up at 6am tomorrow morning!!!!!

OK, so I've done most. A moderate lie in means I'll probably be doing my essay all day and will have to carry a few things forward to another day. If we leave the house it'll only be for a walk in the fresh air so it's a NSD either way
