Carrot cake in the oven

Ali-OK

Yay to payday and sig updating! :T

:rotfl: at wifi at the car wash, I've no idea, but a great way to multi-task if they do .

Good luck with your list and hope Mr Postman brings your new job letter very soon.

I'm meeting a colleague for coffee later who I'm working with next week - which has just turned into a lunch. :eek: Didn't budget for that one!

Have a great day.

Thank you Ali. You have a good day too.

I meant to say wi-fi at Costa Coffee - whoops that kind of isn't in the budget either, but I will enjoy it!

Have a great day!

:rotfl: A treat here and there won't do any harm, I have come to realise that we still have to live whilst debt busting. Spare room decoration and carpet being mine this month.

I love decorating and shabby chiccing. My new job will allow a little more of that - I really need to get the paint brush out and freshen everything up. Plus I have a few projects to get going.

Sadly the chairs haven't seen the paintbrush this week - partly the weather as it's so much better to do them outside.

I'm in Costa Coffee at the moment and going to get on with a bit of my course. Think I forgot my earphones so will leave any videos until later.



ps meant to say there is free wi-fi in Costa, but for 60 mins according to my ticket.

Yayyyyyyy

Just got back. Postman has been and I have received my proper offer.

Brilliant. :T:T:T:T:T

Stress is going to be a bad memory very soon and I have learned a hard lesson. Look blinking hard then look again and lift up the rugs and find all the problem areas before you leap!

:D:D:D:D

Ali-OK

Excellent news SS :T:T:T:T

Goodbye stress, hello happiness and more shabby chiccing!

PS. Car viewing 10am tomorrow :j:j

Sending positive vibes and lots and lots of good luck for 10 am tomorrow. :A

Been to MrT for weekly shop. DD is so strict, I wanted to buy a mayo on half price offer but she wouldn't let me. "Jack says stick to the list". She is right I guess, it's very funny being told not to spend. But we stuck to the budget - she showed me how mysupermarket works and we went off with the printed list and managed to track it all down. Total of £24.22 for the week which includes 18 triple velvet loo rolls (no we won't use them all in 1week) for £6, a few baking bits and a 600 ml pot of cream to go on some cupcakes for a nice pud. I also earned 650 bonus points for using the MrT credit card. I have a 96p off your next shop but what with using all the other coupons (£1.50 money off and the 650points) I forgot. Will use that next time.

I have got £24 in Tesco vouchers so wondering if I should use that for next weeks shopping, or save for a rainy day or perhaps to buy some meat there. Meat sounds a good option 2 chickens and some pork etc.

Went to tyre place on way home. They reckon I still have 1000 miles in front tyres so I am going to wait until after MrT bill comes out (2 weeks) then buy them on the card and pay off at month end. Or I could wait until July and that would be even better. I do about 600 a month so 12th July would be perfect

Potted up the tomatoes and cleared the shed a little when I got home. Will go out to the dump and for petrol tomorrow

Just going to have a few mins rest then off to do the kitchen windows. By gum it's hot out there.

Must try the free sunbed in town, but not if this weather keeps up.
And have my excel and sage courses to complete

Went to the tip this morning with the bits from the shed. Such a huge queue, should have gone earlier but it was worth waiting to make a little room.

Spent £3 at local cheapie shop on Thorntons chocs, gift wrap and freezer bags. Have allowed myself at £30 grocery budget this week so have £2.78 left but shouldn't need to shop - I have set myself a 4 NSDs challenge.

Went for a walk with DD earlier and we are just having a cuppa while we wait for the yello thing to go down a little before our run/jog. We are going to bake some cakes before we go. I read yesterday that there are 2 types of runners. Those that run because they love runnng and those that run because they love cake. I'm definitely in the latter section.

Will have to do a little work later in readiness for the week, glad thAt won't be for much longer now.

Well done on the food shop, that's excellent and loving your DD's 'stick to the list' attitude . All those points are adding up nicely too. It's those difficult decisions like what to spend Mr T voucher on I would struggle with too - all right ways, so go with what's best for you.

You've definitely been more productive than me today! Enjoy your run and the cake :rotfl:
