Need to go pick up the tiles today that have arrived at the shop. Also have a Pets @ Home workshop today which should be good fun.

Payday for DH and money all divvied up. Going to be a tight month as we've cattery and kennel fees to pay and our holiday over the weekend, though I can guarantee it will be a no spend holiday when we are there as we are on an island with one tent and no shops, and a boat that doesn't pick up back up till Wednesday!
Really struggling with Mr T - any one else? I book the slots and then when I get the reminder to say you've so many hours left to amend your order go on and faff about with adding / taking stuff out the basket depending on what we need - so many times recently the reminder hasn't come and like today, I thought the order was tomorrow, but it's today and I'd 13p in the basket, so cancelled it and now no slots tomorrow! I did not want to have to go shopping tomorrow! Really not wanting to continue with them from December when our delivery saver expires, but we are miles from shops and it's not really feasible or sensible, budget wise to go shopping each week - any ideas?

Holiday sounds bliss DFOD!!!
Re Mr T, I haven't continued with my delivery saver, however I am close by to lots of shops. Have you tried any of the other major ones round by you? Mr M's is a good one but I found that our fruit and veg was horrendous when it came. Might be different down your end though xxMummytogirls x0 -
No Mr M, or I would try those - I have Sainso or ~@sda... or I go shopping each week which I'm not keen on just from a point of view of sticking to the budget which I'm able to do online.
£3 credit from Pcone, so requested a PP payout for that. No other surveys at all yesterday.
Day of food shopping, packing and cleaning ahead. Need to take cat / dog later so will be quiet tonight without them. Off early tomorrow so catch you all next week!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Mr A's delivery isn't the best round our area and Mr S is brilliant but more expensive last time I looked. Maybe try Mr A's?
Have a great time away xxMummytogirls x0 -
Lovely break away, but back to reality now. Just catching up - done pcone survey, relisted all fleabay items, one sold whilst away and another just before we went, so with the addition of a pcone credit, I've just over £20 in the palpay - saw something I want to buy for littlies for birthday / xmas which will be £30 so will stockpile pennies in there until I reach that and then buy them.
Mortgage figure updated to £96,638.33. Be nice to get under £95k - off track though with getting under £90k by Xmas, likely to be £93.5k I reckon!
Plowing through a mountain of washing today, quick trip to library and karate later.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Welcome back DFOD, trip away looked lovely

Hope washing mountain isn't getting too out of control!! xxMummytogirls x0 -
Washing all done, and last bit drying off.
£3 on pr0filic today, £3 credited from Pcone towards the palpay fund and 65p on 1poll
6 items listed on fleabay and one parcelled up ready to go.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

30p on 1poll, 50p on Y0ugov and £3 on pr0filic which takes me to over £20 payout when they have all credited!
Am@zon parcel arrived packaged appallingly with two items missing which I assume have falled out the package was that loosely secured, so online chat to them and they will refund the amount but frustrating!
Been out and spent £10 of some garden vouchers I got for my birthday and bought myself some furry crocs to use for going outside during the winter. Rock and roll!
Also bough an academic diary from birthday money to plan out the home ed year.. looking forward to getting going again, have so much planned! Nice to not be running the school shoes gauntlet and spending loads on uniform right at this time!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
