NSK: MAY the Odds Be Ever In Your Favour!!!

MagicCat

Good morning tributes.

Hope you are all well - sorry to hear you've had some difficult news Shyspender, take care of yourself.

SiannieLaz - great news about the plants, that sounds a brilliant selection, hope you get them in OK.

I think my jabberjay technique with MIL will take some practice, but I'm at least not running over and over things she said in my head, which I usually do - which is lucky for all of you, as I usually describe the conversations in great detail to anyone who's willing to listen, which must be v boring for them - suspect everyone in work will find me v quiet today.

So today - nothing very exciting for me, determined to bag another NSD as i have had a lot of spendy days recently. 10 hour work shift and have bought my lunch so should be doable.

Take care and have a good day all.

Morning Tributes

I am off work again this week and have some difficult decisions to make about work/redundancy which is getting me down:(

We go on holiday on Friday evening so I have lots to do this week which will keep me busy. Today I am planning to:

1) clean house top to bottom
2) walk dog for 1 hour
3) make soup DH has requested for tea
4) 3 loads of washing
5) change bedding
6) sort out clean laundry, maybe do a bit of ironing (2nd least fave job after washing up!)
7) spend free day:)
8) write shopping list for tomorrow's stock up/holiday/party tea shop

That little lot should keep me out of mischief;)

Hi all.

Today will be a SFD, I have already been out on my bike and am about to tackle the ironing pile, later on will be dog walking, cleaning and the school run.

Sorry I forget to check in yesterday evening. I had a very low spend day - managed to get to 5 o'clock before I realised I need to get some sugar to make cake for the week ahead - so just 2 euro for a bag of sugar.
Today should be a NSD, as the only thing I need to do is pick up my DH's shoes from the menders.
Later I need to make some blind for our Velux windows so will have to buy some sticky backed velcro at some point so I can attach them to the frames.

Its official I am rubbish at these challenges.
Confession time
Only my 3rd check in- oops on day 6. Hard going at home, with tablet and having left my reading glasses in work.
Bought clothes at weekend fell in love with a dress and a top - 63 pounds oops.

Stayed in Monday and dug up all my grass in the garden and shifted half tonne of chippings so a SFD and lots of aching muscles to report. Getting worse as the day goes on, ate healthy well almost this weekend, no cakes, chocolate. Relatives turned up yday afternoon too tired to cook Fish and Chips was the way forward, they treated me tho.


Actually now managed 2 SFD in total,Bunny needs sawdust so a wee spend today - going to get back on track now.:money:

Dolly84 Thanks will try the Garnier Fructus stuff out, I need some styling products and it smells nice.

Magic cat - good idea to have a reasons to be grateful list, sometimes we don't realise how lucky we are.

Many, many (admittedly minor) emergencies in my experience! :rotfl:

Having to spend any amount of time with my sister-in-law

It's been an ejoyable day :j. Got the food shopping, dentist, PO, chemist and school runs done as planned. Used a sainsbob voucher off a £15 spend and got things I can only get there. Result! And £2.50 more to pay off the mortgage!

A dear friend came for coffee - I suggested here as she lives so near, it would allow her to be late (!) and I could bake cookies for us, thus saving us both ooodles of pennies. She stayed for over 2 1/2 hours, so we'd have felt obliged to either buy more in a coffee shop, or cut out conversation short. Result. (plus coffee shops are a banned location!)

Got a toughie workout done which is satisfying.

And in my quest to seek out where I cause/allow waste, I've just cooked up the cauli and broccoli I bought today. Sometimes they get beyond use quickly, or the stalks get too stalky and end up in food
recyc.

Next Tuesday's quest is to spend less on the food shop...
