Monday 17th March - What small DFW things will you do today?

Bobarella

Hi Everyone

Thanks Ziggy for starting the thread, hope you are ok, sounds like you are on the mend.

Snap Ikesmummy, worked a lot so no online time.

Determined - How exciting, have fun at the gig, & vicariously enjoying your holiday count down

Soopa - Im with you on that one, why do sports centres do that? Totally crap isnt it.

Emmi - Nice one on your dw tabs, useful freebie there.

Good Advice - Ha ha I'll wonder if its you in front of me at Boots next time Im in a super long queue

Yorpington - Yuck how awful. I live in fear of cutting myself on a razor, dont know why, its just one of those things I always think of when putting the saftey lid back on. Hope you mend quickly.

Littlepinkstar - New born twins how lovely. Good luck with your exam.

Foxgloves - You can use gone off milk in scones as well so long as its not rancid. Im sure you probably already know that though?

Me today.

1) Went to see a mortgage advisor about a remortgage. Its frustrating that although an estate agent has valued us up, we are expected to pay £300 odd quid to the bank so they can do the same. However, the saving would be around £200-£300 per month as we havent remortgaged for ages, so it sort of feels like a necessary evil. Does anyone have any useful stories about remortgaging for free?? Hopeful face

2) Planned dinner tonight - Mackrel stirfry with egg noodles, planned tommorows tea as well.

3) Checked banking

4) Went to join a new doctors surgery, we have lived in our new place 2 years last month & had been coping by keeping our mail redirect in place. When the letter came saying it was another £40 to renew the direct I had to question the expense and my sanity, so enoughs enough, we have moved. Officially now. I know it might be dubious taking up GP places out of postcode, but in London I've had several bad GPs and have been so happy with ours it seemed like a good idea to stay registered there, just didnt think we'd hang on so long.

Think thats it for me. Am looking into ebaying a large electronic hand roll dispensor I bought in my stupid first phase of business excitment. Cost around £100 brand new, takes stupidly expensive batteries, goes through them like the clappers oh & gets the huge expensive hand roll stuck in it all the time. Now we supply clean towels. Anyway I want to sell it as its taking up house room. Not too hopeful as who'd want it, but hey...

Bye for now.

Bob

Nice one. I came home to a cheque for £75 which is a refund on our car tax as car no longer with us. However, that will just about cover the £77 cancellation fee our insurer are charging us for cancelling our policy (as we no longer have a car:mad:) the mind boggles.
Although I did also see that I am getting £79 from GreasyPalm this month for moving another insurance. So ner to the win some lose some gods.:T

Hope everyone is well. It's been a while, and I've fallen off so many radars at the moment, I have managed not to spend the money that has now 'appeared' on my CC's.

And, today was a REALLY bad day, and I was going to buy Pizza from Pizza Hut! I managed to push through the urge and had turkey burgers and veggies instead.

Wow Foxgloves I am super impressed at yours and Mr F's weight loss, that is brilliant!! I am a ww gold member but find I am too hungry to calorie count at the moment so am trying Slimming World as a change (I've probably done all the diets in the past, cabbage soup, slim fast, 5:2, calorie counting, weight watchers etc etc so this I haven't tried!) I will keep you posted
