Morning all!

Congrats on the job Ally and good luck in your "first" day!

So OH is off and the dog has been shipped off the OH's mum so I'm all on my own! I work much longer hours that OH so not fair to leave the dog cooped up all day. Plus OH's mum lost her dog recently so I'm sure she'll like having one around for a week.

So today I have/will:-
* Check banks
* Quick tidy around house
* Take lunch to work (yesterdays lunch tbh as boss bought me a cake and then let me finish early so I could catch OH before he left so didn't eat it)
* Print out waiver/information for Tough Mudder at work
* Book parking for TM as price goes up on the day
* Earn more on OnePoll
* Cull some emails
* Go for a run
* Dinner from stores
* Tidy living room
* Sort through paper work mountain!
* Rearrange second bedroom

Think that's everything for today. Hope you all have a good day!

- All meals from stores (gonna ask mum if I can have lunch there)
- Go to dentist app
- Email current EA to confirm they got my email
- Pack some more stuff for move (if I feel up to it)
- Check FPL

Afternoon all, :wave:

Ever feel like you've opened a wardrobe and stepped into Narnia?

*Went to work for my day-long health and safety induction back with my old employer to be told I'm not going to do a manual job for a 'filler' for a week or two but I'm straight in at Management level on Sunday! Erm...ok then...I wasn't expecting that! Tried to take the news casually :whistle: and not look like I was thinking "Yikes!" So I'm going to stick with this plan and see what happens. I've got tomorrow off to recover from the shock and revaluate my career plan. Bring it on.

* Today we had to phone the DWP to sign off. This was remarkably complex. OH called them and they wouldn't talk to her about it! :question: I had to call them.

* OH has a job interview next Friday for some physiotherapy work. :T The day after she has major dental surgery. :silenced: Could go either way. Anyway it's a step in the right direction.



Now where's that cider? Have a good Friday. :wave:

Oh wow! That's quite a shock Ally! At least you had your mind made up for you!

Decided to book another block of circuits sessions and go tomorrow morning. I do have a free pass for a gym and was going to do a class there - but it didn't really work timing wise plus I find my normal circuits better. This one was all about number of reps and pretty much forget form, but I think its better to do thinks properly as surely that's more effective? Not MSE but I did book a block to make them cheaper! Maybe I'll see if there are any classes on Sunday I could use it for instead.

Afternoon everyone :hello:

My list for today:

It's payday :j and as it's our new year at work, I have a shiny new spreadsheet :DI have paid my transfers to other virtual pots and got money where I want it. I have 2 small debts this month that I want to see the back off. Will see how we go.
Meals from stores
Went to wholesaler, got 2 x Christmas presents and some other store cupboard staples
Used amaz0n prime £20 offer on app. Got another Christmas pressie.
Washing inside on heated airer (no heating on) was outside for a bit but bought in when it went grey and dark
1poll
Do some work tonight. Try and get ahead of the game for next week
Resisted do taking DD for drink and cake, came home instead
PAD to debt 1 :T
Research best use of bag of damsons I bought for a £1

Ally - hope day at work was ok. Not sure I thanked you for the ripening link last week :T:A we now have some red tomatoes

Enjoy your evening everyone, I might be tempted to have a glass of grape juice whilst working later

The artist who is displaying her work for the art trail this weekend has not yet been in. She's cutting it fine! Am really hoping it will be good for business this weekend.

Hope it brings in money for you. Visiting book groups used to bring in money for us.

Convince DH to seriously consider a neighbours request to rent our garage (we only use it for storage atm)

You might also find someone who wants to rent it on Gumtree's Parking Garage site (Link) or on this site (Link) or this one (Link).

Do they still have the energy club thing on this site? Might that be worth looking at - unless FU feature prominently of course :eek:

:idea: Yes, they do. MSE's use of the name 'club' is a bit misleading, it's more of a service. You do an energy comparison and switch to a cheaper company (if you want to). Then every month you get an email telling you whether you are still on the cheapest service. (Link)

Just tell me to "shut the flump up" if I'm becoming a Know-It-All!
