Evening all
Late posting today as I have had baby GD all day, and we have been VERY busy :rotfl: Suffice to say I needed a glass of wine after she was taken home!

Very small list today:
Washing dried on line outside
Loaf made in BM
All HM meals
Decided not to renew a magazine subscription
Groomed and walked pup

I will clear up the kitchen after OH cooked supper, see if there are any surveys to be done, and that will be enough for me today

Back tomorrow with a much improved list

Hi all

Just tucking into my post gym class shepherds pie which has been kept warm in the slow cooker. It is slightly too runny so tastes a lot nicer than it looks!

Heating is on here for a little bit - but its finishing off the washing which didnt quite get dry outside - and heating the water for a bath.

Not sure if I told you but I did some work for an ex-employer and he hasnt paid me. Its £100 that would have gone towards Xmas. I am really upset about it, feel like I have been taken for a mug. I am not quite ready to plaster it all over facebook and twitter yet, I am hoping the nicely nicely approach works but he seems to be ignoring my emails and phone calls.

Right, shower and then kitchen to tidy next.

Hi everyone

Not a massive amount of money saving today but I did find 6p on the way in to DD1's Harvest Festival assembly so that's gone in to my change jar.

I've also wombled quite a bit this week and have got about 20 points to add to my clubcard.

I still haven't paid in my £3 worth of change in to the bank yet but I'm hoping to walk in to town tomorrow from mom's and pay it in as well as getting the points added to my clubcard.

I put our weekly allowance of fuel in at Sainsbury's to earn the 10 points per litre - I've worked out I get between £1 to £1.50 on my card so to me, that's quite a saving!

I've also been in to work today to discuss me returning to work after my maternity leave...looks like I'll be back in 4 weeks

Hi everyone
All I'm going to say about today is that I have survived. I will be ranting on my diary in a bit. Just settling with the apprentice and a cuppa... Managed without the heating this evening, so that's a bit of a bonus.

try a relaxation app (thanks Ally)

I appear to have put my own wellbeing on the back burner again. The only thing I haven't done is find a relaxation app. I think I will make time to do it before I go to sleep.

Hiya All

Good to read everyone's lists.

Yorkshire - how do you mean about them not paying you? No one can just do that. Have you threatened small claims?

Carrie -Glad your OH is on a mission with the decluttering. I always find it one of the most satisfying things to do.

Lizloz -well done on your wombling!

Determined - Glad you have felt better today. This beautiful Autumn weather must help.

Dawn- ooo now you've made me think of wine. I haven't had any since Christmas. We were barely drinking before that either. A nice cold glass is always lovely. But I probably wouldn't whilst feeding DD just to be safe.

LegoMum- must be chocolate chip muffins yes? Save me one. I made a big batch of lemon ones today.

Hello everyone else

Well just a quick post before I nod off.


Have a good day tommorow everyone

Bob
