  • can i just ask which fitbit , there are so many and does it have to have gps
    (thanks again)
  • Hi there everyone,

    Legomum - Seems really interesting about the FitBit, I've heard so much about them but never thought that they could be used to earn money! I'm fairly active so might look into getting one as a present somewhere down the line.

    So far today has been a NSD, that's two in a row for this week :)
    Payday is on Friday which I'm increasingly looking forward to.
    As my OH is at work and I took the day off I have had to let the Sky man come in to fit our internet in our new house, I've also had to sort out our daughters nursery place and chase up an invoice for a handle and door for our new kitchen so it has been a very busy morning.
    I'm now waiting in on parcels being delivered :( the joys.

    None of that sounds necessarily DFW but as it's a new house and we have literally nothing to put in it this is a necessary evil unfortunately :(

    I never did manage to get round to applying for another job last night so I will do that tonight
    I'll also go out for a run, perhaps slightly longer than last night as I felt great after last nights, that'll clear my mind :)

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    John

    Forgot about this daily thread :)
    So far I have finished off burning the Christmas tree in the log burner together with a load of paperwork and with wearing an extra layer means I havent needed the CH on so far despite it being minus something outside:)

  • Evening all :)
    I've hit the wall - just have nothing left at all and want to go to sleep for a week. So an early night is a must tonight. I totally agree Foxgloves - this time of year and the weather just makes everything so much more miserable. It started raining again here this afternoon which doesn't help.
    DNMS - hope your dgd is better soon. They get ill quickly, but also seem to recover really quickly as well. Fingers crossed for you.


    [STRIKE]:cool: Check banking and PAD[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool: Sort budget for the rest of the month. Things are starting to look very tight. Seems so unfair to have gotten df only for dh to stop contributing.[/STRIKE] This is one thing making me want to cry at the moment. It's not desperate but it's much tighter than it should be this month.
    [STRIKE]:cool: Load of washing [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool: nag dh to do something today[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool: full day of teaching[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool: mark a set of books[/STRIKE] Finally! :j
    :cool: 15 mins housework cba
    :cool: Try and find some way of relaxing and switching off without feeling guilty
    [STRIKE]:cool: Speak to HoD about my current overload with work and home and ask for advice[/STRIKE] kind of - he's really stressed himself at the moment so I went off to see the Head, but she was busy too so I went to the Deputy Head. He in himself is hilarious but told me to focus on Year 11 and Year 10 at the moment. I still feel overloaded but at least I've made it known to those people in the senior positions...
    I'm not staying on here for long tonight - just checking in then heading up to bed.
  • Evening all,
    Posting whilst small boy is in the bath, because that's how much time I have spare!
    NSD for me
    Took lunch from the fruit bowl
    Checked the bank
    Mostly grumpy this evening since DH told me he was out of money and that was my fault. Since Christmas he's bought a Wii (still in its box), spent £200 on new glasses (no change in prescription from the last pair) and bought DVDs for a friend. But it's my fault. Grrr.
    If I hadn't already finished my Christmas chocolates I would be shovelling them down!
    Still. Tomorrow is another day.

    Evening all, thanks for starting Ally

    Not a NSD as I bought stamps for the wedding invitations and ordered RSVPs and some more wedding favour cards from the Hobbycraft website as they didn't have any in stock again last night (from wedding pot fund).
    Also bought grandparents an anniversary card and a sandwich as I didn't make one last night (not very money saving!)
    Breakfast and tea from stores
    Manic day at work, there are lots of changes going on that affect me so there will be some upheaval over the next few months...
    Did 2 hours overtime at work
    Banking checked and spending diary updated
    Wedding spreadsheet updated
    Saw a friend briefly when I got in from work who had popped round to see OH today which was nice
    FPL checked
    Hoovered and tidied kitchen
    Must iron work outfit for tomorrow and prepare packed lunch! Aiming for a few NSDs between now and the end of the week
