Right, OK, having a relaxing day today, so not much of a list but am keeping the faith:
*Did Big Garden Birdwatch - free entertainment over breakfast.
*Dinner will be the chicken breast slices in gravy I froze a couple of weeks ago while doing 'rubber chicken' duty.
*Read energy meters & update my records.
*Keep downstairs heating off as long as possible.
*Set washing machine timer for a cheap overnight wash.
*Make tomorrow's packed lunch & work snacks.
*Make bread.
*Enjoy free leisure - Start new library book, knit, watch more Amazon Prime while it's free, browse magazines I was given & play with cat.
Best wishes to all for a pleasant & uplifting Sunday. If you've had a good week, aim for a repeat performance this coming week. And if last week was full of crapola for you, remember tomorrow is a new start. Keep positive & keep your hands on your pence. Us Daily DFWs........fighting the system with our clever ways! ☺

Baileys babe - I tried to defeat it with hot n spicy pizza

I imagine your approach will be better

When I have a cold/cough/lurgy I prefer spicy food, I'm sure it helps in the war against illness:D

Brunch eaten and table cleared again :j

Well I have had a lazy day so far, as I was up most of the night with ds2. So for today I have been sitting with my feet up watching storage hunters.

My plan for the rest of today:

• Sort through 2 boxes and either put aside for selling or put in the bin.
• List 5 items on ebay
• Watch the items that are ending today
• Do MSing work that is in for today
• Do daily clicks
• Check free postcode lottery
• Check birthday bingo (I had forgotten about this site until I check this thread yesterday)
• Do course homework for tomorrow
• Do some revision work, as I have an assessment on Tuesday
• All meals from stores
• Make sure that everything is in diary for this week
• Iron clothes that are needed for tomorrow
• Submit 4 proposals on freelance work

I think that is everything that I need to get completed today. Hope everyone has a good Sunday

Woke up this morning and the first thing I did was run downstairs to check how the lining paper had dried in my new study and if there was any improvement to how it looked last night. There was *some* improvement but it's still not perfect. Nevertheless I painted it and we've moved the desk in and with some artfully propped pictures against one wall (think artists studio) it looks a whole lot better than it did before and... I am now typing from my new study (get me!)

I've also painted the inside of the front door, will do the outside tomorrow morning before estate agents arrive to do pics as it's too cold this evening to leave the door open.

I've cleaned the kitchen and found 20p on a shelf and a magnifying glass from a Christmas cracker that apparently DH has been looking for for a couple of weeks

I went to Mr S at 3.30pm to buy fresh flowers and fruit and there was nothing reduced on that section at all (even though some of the flowers looked on their last legs.)

Lunch was a half price iced bun (not good for my diet but I ache all over from decorating so I figure I must have burned more calories than usual.) Dinner is going to be oven chips with some garlic and onion dip that goes out of date tomorrow (same excuse.)

DH has a gig tonight but I've opted to stay home to do more sprucing up so I've saved on drinks :T

I withdrew some money while I was at Mr S and changed it all into pound coins as if I give DS a fiver he will spend a fiver so it's easier to have coins then I can ration him to £3 per day. I know I should make him sandwiches but he goes into town at lunchtimes with his friends but I have signed him up for a Waitrose card so he can get free coffee. Alas, he's a bit too shy to use it, though if his mates all had one it would be another story :cool:

Back for the final update of the weekend. Managed my 4th day in a row eating for free from a combination of tips, roadkill, vouchers, nectar points & food wombled from work (with permission)
My focus group money(£50) was in my account today, Horray!
I found 13p today, a nice shiny 10p to start me off which is always a boost.
Have a big pile for ebaying so I will be setting off with that this week. One step at a time.
NSD 14 today of hopefully 18 by the 31st.
4 days till OH pay day, it literally feels like its been a 100 years instead of 6 weeks.

Night all!

I'm just checking in to update my list. I have now completed everything that I had planned for today therefore I am going to get an early night. Night everyone, see you all tomorrow.

My usual very late post! Over the weekend I've managed to do:

SATURDAY
Walked to DD's swimming lesson
Walked into town - found 15p roadkill on the way (added to my sealed pot)
Bought a giant 7 birthday candle for DD at half price from the market hall
Returned DD's library book and she picked out a few more
Got my glasses tightened up at the opticians (been meaning to do for ages and they feel so much better)
11 items sold on eb@y, highest value item hasn't been paid yet though (so frustrating)
15 mins flylady decluttering in the bedroom
Hoovered living room, stairs, dining room and hallway
Tidied up living room too
Washed all bed linen and 2 loads of clothes done
Built a den and ate lunch inside with DD
Played with DD

SUNDAY
DD felt under the weather this morning - so we were unable to go out for a walk as planned.
All meals from stores
Lunches prepared for tomorrow
Curtains from the dining room washed, still drying on the radiators, so they won't be going back on until tomorrow
Packaged all sold items ready for posting tomorrow
DH decided to start clearing the attic - great, but now I've got loads more stuff to either sell, donate or bin
Played with DD when she felt a bit better - frozen castle today
All the ironing done and put away
Clothes out ready for tomorrow
Checked bank checked BB and PCL

Having a bit of trouble lately with my PC, convinced it's going to die soon, so spent a big chunk of the day trying to back up the photos saved on it - not really concerned about anything else.

For the upcoming week I want to - keep up with flyladying and prepare at least 2 eb@y listings every day ready to go live when I get free listings.
