    Happy Saturday :j

    First Saturday off in a while and I have a list as long as my arm to get through, lots of cleaning and sorting.

    Need to do a small shop today, I have my list ready and next weeks meal plan is written on the calendar. We are going on holidays in the middle to September so my plan is to use up the contents of the two freezers and cupboards over the next few weeks. Found a packet of mince a the bottom of the freezer so Cottage Pie will be made later for lunch tomorrow.

    There are a few things selling on ebay so more for the debt pot at the end of the week. Need to list more items late this evening. Can't do a Carboot tomorrow as I am on call for work from tomorrow until a week Monday:(

    Hoping for a very productive day, feeling better today that I have in a while. :)

    Today should have been a NSD until I went to the Carboot sale this morning and bought 6 tubes of hair conditioner for £2.00, in the shops they are £1.00 each so a bargain for me and will last a good few weeks.

    Cottage pie made from the bottom of the freezer mince was delicious, left overs for work tomorrow and 3 more meals in tubs back in the freezer to be eaten in the next few weeks.

    Car also has a full tank of petrol £35.00, hopefully will last until the 14th of next month, no long journeys planed, I am going to start walking to work more, so should save a small amount of petrol.

    Had 2 sales on ebay this evening, 3 finishing tomorrow morning and a few watchers on some other bits. Money will be transferred over to Next saving pot when it hits Paypal. Also been keeping a spending diary, so all good in a Doris land.

    * Wrap presents.
