Walk mutts

Gardening to do at home
Make a plan with friend re catch up
Driving with DS
Home cooked meals
Group thingmy
Have a shower.
Some random tidying up as convention dictates.



Not a big list, but its my list.

£52 in Mr S yesterday with many bargains
£15 in Mr L for other bits
Cupboards now groaning.

Petrol 26, 25 so far this month.

Paid from garden last week. Invoiced womble land today, will get paid by end of week. Timesheet in for garden for this week too.

Shuggled some money about.

Paid for OH birthday pressie. Owe DS for car insurance money, although he did say he'd pay.

DD birthday this month, no clue what she wants.

Have to think of postiive ways to look at things.

Looks like 4 days/week guaranteed work for this month from garden just got email.

1 day from womble a week.

So five full time days this month from now on, must do myself a kind of monthly/annual target thingmy - might that work?

I can work with knowns, its unknowns I hate.

Suddenly I feel a lot calmer. Probably the tea eh?

Known expenses for me to contribute to.

Phone/internet
Kids
Petrol/car
Clothes/etc
Garden (ahem) I'd call that a hobby but......
Holidays
Pension
Sick pay
Insurance for work

If I can identify and nail these, I can work out a plan. And, yes I feel silly for not sorting that out yet.

A plan is indeed the way forwards lovely lass :j :j :j Sounds good to have an annual target (or similar) to aim for, and five days a week this month will certainly help with that! :j Know what you mean about not feeling appreciated though, and having to fill in pesky timesheets. Pah indeed. xxx

Hey up lovely cheery - plan indeed is always good. Todays plan is largely at home, finishing some garden bits and generally tidying up/digging more beds. And, thinking about this pesky presentation for the interview.

Spoke to someone in the LA team yesterday and they were telling me what a lovely team/place/environment to work so we'll see!



Sun is out, I only have two layers on, must be summer.

Cheery_Daff

only two layers?? quick! call the decency police! :rotfl:

Thought of you yesterday when I actually managed to acquire a reduced loaf for 8p!! :money:

Pippilongstocking

aw cheery nothing says me more than a reduced loaf. Ours were 75p when we went shopping but we still filled up the freezer!

Well done.

Grey here today, although I hear it might brighten up!

Hope you are well and thinking about life/jobs/future etc isn't too taxing for you.

Good luck to DS.

Will you send DD's present or wait til she comes home?

Pippilongstocking

Thank you lovely! He passed his test

DD is still deciding what on earth she'd like.

sorry not been around much working extra and the time just disappears.

Working today, my main objective is not to drown.

Weekend off - woo hoo!!

Hope you're all doing something fun.
