    £200 gone out of current account for monthly amount to Blycrd. Only 2 payments to go on this card, not very What's the cost but I want to see one at 0. If my daughter pays me for the vet fees that will bring down Tesimo card.


    Still not got enough vege food for DD3 for the month but other than milk etc enough food for DD2 and myself.


    Looking at Debenhams sale and a gift card I found in the drawer to pay with, wanting my grandsons first birthday present for Jan 1st.icon7.gif


    Had veggie Bolognese tonight, used up left over mushrooms, onion and peppers. Not thrown any left overs out yet.

    Good morning. Fell asleep briefly while putting baby to bed so OH set up the rice for dinner. Well, I'll be buying more rice soon and be eating fried rice for a while, lol.
    Today should be SFD number 8. Liddl started selling wild boar but luckily the weather will keep me out if the shop.

    Happy Wednesday

    Morning all

    Sorry I've been MIA. On Monday, OH crashed his car (he is ok but car is not and might be a right off, awaiting it's collection by the insurers), school got the midday call to say the dreaded O would be inspecting us Tues and We'd and got a NIC demand letter for money �� Not a great start to the week. So in betwee lesson planning, driving OH and still doing my tutoring, I have been up to my eyeballs. Just woke up half an hour before my alarm so thought I'd pop on here to explain my absence.

    Better go get dressed and take OHS to work before the second day of inspection. Hopefully I'll be back on after 6 tonight when it'll all be over.

    Have a good day

    FmessGlad OH ok after crash. hope O goes well
    2 spendy days. Yesterday to a £1 donation at DD2 school for poppies and £4 donation to a talk we went to last on climate change, very interesting and useful for my course.
    Today used Tessi vouchers to buy DD1 and DD2 Christmas presents. Would of maintained a NSD if i'd not spotted their buy 2 get 3rd free on baking items. Weakened and bourght chocolate as finding current essay hard work. Stupid really as its given me a migraine and can't feel half my face. Self sabotage not good.:mad: Also new hiking boots arrived got them through link MSE reduced by 60%. Failed my clothes diet but they were needed as my current boots leak and I use them everyday.
    budgets = food gone:eek:/ petrol almost gone:eek:/nsd:mad:/ Treats: where the money gone? far far away:mad:/exercise not happening/declutter: only my purse:(
    time for me :fat chance

    Spendy day yesterday but am feeling awesome for it. I was looking at advent calendars but they were 2 for £3 so I would only have been able to afford three or four for my donation... so I bought chocolate pennies instead. This allowed me to buy 10 packets for my donation so more kids will benefit.
    :D

    Glad to hear your OH is okay fmess.
    :)

    Not really much else to report. I have been off for a few days but not really done anything.
    Today I am writing out our xmas cards.
    :o

    Hope everyone is doing okay.
    Hugs.
