Hello

You are being industrious. I have been working this morning, went to Aldi to do the weekly shop and popped in a couple of charity shops. Just a couple of Christmassy bits bought in there for £3 total. Now home, had lunnch, did some housework and am now having a coffee and watching a bit of telly. Working again this evening, but then only a couple of hours tomorrow and I'm finished work until Monday afternoon again.

Hope you get a rest in between jobs

Morning.

Up early this frosty morning, and have already had breakfast and done my ironing :)getting ready to post a few parcels then off to the shops, as still have a few items to pick up.

Managed to use my 1id1 voucher, but only just !!! my shopping came 60p under the obligatory
£40 spend so threw something in to make it over

Came out thinking, it is actually hard to spend £40 - and that was me stocking up. My friend
did tell me that, she used to spend up to £160 :eek: at S@insburys, but managed to talk her round to trying 1id1's and @1di's, She now doesn't go anywhere else and saves herself almost half !!! every week, handy now they are both retired


Have a great weekend.

Good morning AFK

I agree, I rarely spend more than £25 in Lidl or Aldi for a shop. Even if I buy bulk stuff, or extra for Christmas I am never over £40.

As a result, it's very hard to use the vouchers I find. Hope you get all the bits you need from the shop, and have a great weekend.

Thank you, so much.

Decided to give it a final "shove" at the end of last year and used some savings. Tick :j

So this year I have been replenishing savings. Tick :j

After another bout of HBP misbehaving - It [STRIKE]was[/STRIKE] is time to give myself some well earned rest. I wish Tick :j

So now into my 3rd week of working part time I need to get into the swing of things and a totally different routine, but I'm getting there.


ps - couldn't help but laugh at your last comment :rotfl: - are your two last words transposed :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (Sorry, just my sense of humour).

Have a good weekend AFK

I'm glad you are starting to get used to this part time thing.

It's easier to get used to than people think!

My goodness, how time flies almost 2 weeks since I last posted.

Still clearing out - I have an amazing amount - you could not believe (at least, I couldn't ) however, all lovely things, so have been busy listing some of the items, for spare pennies.

Speaking of pennies, I got paid today :j First thought was :shocked: _pale_ - Oh suuuuuugar :rotfl:

No-one told me that enhancements get paid a month behind :doh:,
roll on next payday (which is early :j) due to the Xmas holidays :rotfl:
Upside is I have taken my working week off (2 days) this week so have 12 days off :beer:
Lots more of that to come :j

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend when it comes.

Good morning AFK and great to hear about 12 days off :beer:

My weekend has begun, and the sun rise promises a beautiful, if cold, day. So I am up and showered. Need to colour my hair before going to collect some new bathroom flooring I won on eBay for £18!

Then meeting OH for lunch and shopping and tonight is a local beer festival so taxis will be booked :beer:

Have a fab weekend. Look forward to hearing all your busy news during your 12 day break.

It was a lovely but frosty morning here too, still some frost on the rooftops.

Another great bargain from ebay - you are doing well !!!

Since its sunny have started, so bathroom, kitchen and stairs all cleaned, bins emptied, bed changed and one load of washing done, next load waiting, front windows also cleaned and have just had lunch.

Just seen marks on my glass panel door in the living room, so off to get that cleaned now, and have same door in the kitchen so may as well do that too.Enjoy the beer festival and your weekend.

Spent the last couple of days going through paperwork, and have finally got some sort of order.

I keep everything from years back, it's so bad - I have paperwork from when I was self-employed,and that wasn't yesterday :rotfl:(all totally in some sort of order) so just need to know how long you really need to keep paperwork for. Even came across some cheque books - remember them


How long does anyone keep paperwork for ? mostly bills, bank statements etc. Oh, and proof of posting when I dabbled with eb@y.
