List for today:
Washed hair with my favourite shampoo (something like 89p from Lidls for a huge bottle ) (done)
Feed hens (done)
Cheapie porridge breakfast, with (free) stewed fruit from freezer (done)

Dog walks x 2 (pup has recovered from his fright, but is now wary of other dogs ) Done, pup wasn't happy to go round the park, so we took another route where there would be no loose dogs
Make a loaf in the BM Done, granary today
HM meals from stores - will have to rummage in the freezer to see what I can find that will thaw out in time for dinner, due to meal planning failure We had a slightly strange mixture of some cooked turkey from the freezer, chorizo, mushrooms and a tin of ratatouille from my use up box. Had this with potatoes and green beans. Tasted ok, but wouldn't win any prizes :rotfl:
Load of washing that can hopefully be pegged outside Some almost dry, even large towel noticeably drier than when I put it out. Now on the airer overnight to finish off
Finish book later for free entertainment, and read more of another (I already have the books...) Still to do
Go to sales unit to add a few more bits / tidy up Done
Take a bag of things for the CS when I go out Oops forgot Must put the bag by the front door so I don't forget it next time!
Walk all journeys as I don't have heavy things to carry today Done
Possibly get out in the garden and repot some big plants / small trees, depends on whether I have enough of the right type of compost Repotted the Christmas tree, to give it the maximum chance to survive for next year (brrr that was a cold job :eek:), applied organic winter wash stuff to fruit trees, moved some wire netting off the garden (I had been protecting some plants from the pigeons) and pulled up some caterpillary brassicas for the chickens and checked the strawberry plants which have been overwintering in the plastic mini greenhouse.
Any surveys, check FPL A couple of onepoll surveys

Did a small amount of shopping so not a NSD

I received in the post some shopping vouchers from RM surveys -I have a few of these now which will do a small shop in Iceland (who accept them, most of the supermarkets don't).

Received a £20 Amazon gift card code from the RAC, which was part of their 'Winter Offer' apparently. I hadn't expected this, and initially suspected some kind of scam (though I do have breakdown cover with the RAC). Anyway, I input the code to my Amazon account and it worked fine, so thanks RAC

Wood burner alight and water in kettle warming up nicely again after making hot drinks / doing some washing up with the last lot

Packed lunches for kids (I overslept this morning, must have turned my alarm off somehow, and then woke up to my DS1 and DS2 saying 'bye mum, off to school, don't worry we've made our own sandwiches'. Not sure if that's a parenting fail or a parenting win???)

Definitely a win - congratulations on bringing up your children to be self reliant and capable of getting themselves something to eat, which is after all an essential life skill!

Another good day, long may it continue, also managed

picked up a few bits from Poundland, saving £6.45 as opposed to buying them from our Mr M (and in some cases we got more in quantity too)
wombled 2 receipts with unclaimed points in Mr M's (will get these added when next shop)
Uploaded 6 receipts to COS (3 mine & 3 wombled)
bought DH a small cake
20 mins litter picking on our street
DH got me whirly gig back out of shed (and found the place in the garden where it belonged as the grass had grown over it and I couldn't find it) so now I can get the washing hung out while it's bright and breezy

Keep up the great work everyone, night all xx
