Thanks. I'm mentally quite unwell but I'm determined to fill the weekend with free pleasures and recover soon. I think it's 80% tiredness.Debt-free day: 8th May 2015 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama0 -

Morning All. Lovely and sunny here - long may it continue into the weekend (I fear not
)
My list for today:
Decided to work form home and not waste 3 hours commuting - much better for the soul
I'd already done my lunch before I decided this, so I will just eat that at home (amazing how far you can stretch a 60p Aubergine when you curry it :T)
Tea in slow cooker, beef stew padded out with pearl barley and loads of veg.
Check banking
Walk 7,000 steps for b0unt point
Run later for free exercise
do meal plan for next week and weekend
plan weekend activities - plan on using NT membership to try another site on Sunday rather than our usual haunts
Plan something for Monday - cheap as possible
try and find a waffle recipe that isn't full of sugar and oil that freezes well and make a batch
DW on overnight
Think that's all folks, have a lovely day
All done, plus I've just realised I have a £35 amaz0n payout from £co that was processed yesterday. Will keep an eye out for it in my e mail. May buy some Christmas gifts and transfer the pressie money to my CC :j0 -
Foxgloves - hope you feel less sore soonYORKSHIRELASS wrote: »Dawn have you tried crate training him? Then he could sleep in the crate in your bedroom to begin with.
I am crate training him Yorkshire Lass but the crate is too big for our bedroom, so has to stay downstairs. I am a bit reluctant to buy a smaller one - unless I could pick one up SH....
CCL - I will look at the weekly spend challenge
DNMS - I use collect + for large ebay sales, I have found them fine, and I only have to drop off at the corner shop down the road. You can print off your own label and pay via paypal. It is usually cheaper than the post office, too
Ally, take care. You have had a lot of stress lately with the job situation. Be kind to yourself.
CLF - glad to hear that gran is ok
G'night everyone, early one for me needed I think!0 -
Dawn- Thanks. Tooth very tender & still feel like someone's given me a clump on the jaw, but at least it's one big dental appointment done. I'm back there in a month's time for the crown to be fitted, & to have another broken tooth mended with a screw. Eeeek!!
Ally - Am recommending Potter's New Relax tablets. There was a time in my life when I needed prescription medicine for anxiety & when I was well enough to stop taking it, I used the herbal Potters tablets for a while. I have used them subsequently for stressful times, especially working with a mentally ill colleague who made everyone's lives hell. I still have a small supply in my handbag in case of emergencies. Hope you feel better soon. Treat yourself with care.2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever
2) To read 100 books (36/100) 3) The Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
