    Morning everyone

    Grey, windy and cold out so it will be a day indoors. Planning to Kondo my airing cupboard, how exciting is that?

    Have put a load of washing in, hopefully will get it out on the line later if the forecast is right.

    Need a few bits of food shopping but will be careful to only buy what I need.

    Online banking checked, all spreadsheets updated. I need to finish OHs accounts and get his tax return submitted. His tax is already budgeted for but I need to get this finished. Oh and OHs credit card payment to make.

    Hi everyone, always good to hear what people have planned for the day!

    Here's mine:

    * Food shopping - have £6 unexpected Tesco vouchers so that will be first stop, then Lidl for the weekend deals, hopefully all with what remains of last week's budget!
    * Take out cash for this week's budget (always take cash out on Saturday and other than my bills everything is paid cash)
    * Other than that, really just a relaxing day, have a little bit of cleaning and laundry to do but will take a bath, watch some tv, play some PlayStation and recover from a busy week!

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend :)

    Afternoon pop pickers...

    Nice lie in for me today, I really needed it, DH is still asleep but the cats were taking turns to tell me it was well past their breakfast time!

    My mum's car is being repaired (again) so we're giving her a lift to the supermarket and she's decided for sure she wants a smaller car so we'll look in the car lot near the supermarket to see what they have.

    I need to defrost a couple of chicken breasts to have with noodles tonight so we're not tempted by a takeaway. We will just need a lime and maybe some prawn crackers but that's down to DH, I can eat it without (maybe not the lime) and my purse is staying firmly in my pocket.

    No plans for this evening, another night in front of the TV which will be nice after such a full one last weekend.

    Have a great weekend all! :)

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    I am still unable to find out how many club points I have. Which is weird as I can see you others saying you know already. The club card homepage I get just tells me that I have zero points now but they are calculating my total. I wanna know dammit :)
