Morning all.
Just seen the weather for today and its pants, so think we will have a day at home, going to spend some time in the garage sowing some veggie seeds and I'm going to also do some baking.
Reached payout on P-base, so £10.90 redeemed, so now waiting on £38 from surevey sites.
Really need to list a few bits on ebay today, won't make much but i'm trying to declutter.
All meals are from stores, Poached eggs on toast for breakfast, sandwiches and fruit for lunch, tea is chicken thighs stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon with potato wedges and salad.
Both children need to tidy their bedrooms so that I can hoover them, DS room needs a good de-clutter, he is a terrible hoarder and I need to wait until he is out of the house before I can get rid of things.
Small tilly tidy of £1.90 this morning.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.x.0 -
Oh dear, not a very productive day at all, apart from baking some scones and cupcakes and helping DH put up a blind nothing has got done, hope fully tomorrow will be a better day and I will get some seeds planted and the children's bedrooms sorted out.
Did manage to list one item on ebay.0 -
Some days aren't very productive, but the one before was, so that kind of evens it out, doesn't it.0

Afternoon all.
Weather has been beautiful today,We had a lovely family walk after lunch with the doggies, it was lovely to get out in the sunshine, DD started off dragging her feet after being pulled away from the internet but after about 10mins she was throwing balls for the dogs and messing round with her brother, when we got back both childen help me plant some seeds, we are going to try and grow, salad leaves, spring onions, tomatoes, radishes and chilli peppers, we will see how we get on.
I have also turned an old pair of curtains into kitchen cupboard curtains, the kitchen cupboard curtains I had didn't match the new decor and were looking past there best, so I turned a pair of M&S curtains that I had kept but didn't fit any of the windows in this house, they look really good and fresh.
Small tilly tidy if £3 made today, had no surveys today and no bids on ebay item.
Better go and start tea, Roast pork tonight with all the trimmings.0 -

I've just ordered a book about growing veg as I am useless with it, it was in the book club at work and a quick flip through made me think even I could cope with it.
The walk sounds lovely. Bet the dog was worn out.
Good work on the fleabay sales!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
MFW (08/08) £118k Gone (09/23)0 -
Debtfreeoneday If I can grow my own, anyone can. Potatoes are really easy as is lettuce leaves, which you can sow in a pot and they will re-grow when you cut it.0

Thanks guys, fingers crossed my veggies grow, might only save a few £s but it's better than nothing.0

We have all had a trip to the dentist, none of needed any work done but still cost £19 something for me.
Nipped into local shop to get some milk and some stir fry sauce, enough pork left for another meal tonight, so thought I would do a stir fry as we have noodles and lots of veggies, so a small grocery spend of £1.99.
Had a small payout from cr0wd0logy, just £3.92 but everything helps.
Have done a grocery order for Thursday, should be around £60 as I stocked up on baking things, also used £5 match and more voucher.
Need to bake some biscuits as we are low on snacky bits for the kids.
Hope everyone is ok.x.0
