    Happy Sunday folks :hello: quick post before I'm on with the day.

    We're out for breakfast this morning, birthday treat for DH. But we won't need lunch and then family are coming round for tea and cake this afternoon (was going to be going out for meal so big saving here) :T

    Check banking, FPL, surveys
    Fly lady bathroom
    Check fridge for anything turning and freeze/eat for tea
    Meal plan for week
    Pop to mr s use £12 off £60 spend. Will get store cupboard stuff/cat food to make up the difference so we're not just spending at will to get discount. Check out COS before we go - must get back into this. Also update mycoupons in case there is anything we are buying, have a couple waiting validation anyway
    Bit more gardening whilst the weather holds, small bits really help
    Maybe pop to tip if I have time

    Right off to start the day and enjoy a cuppa, check back later.

    Hi July Joculants,

    It's been busy at Dowd Towers this week. I put in 52 hours in the office and now I'm dog-tired but there's lot to be done.

    Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Two:

    * Do RM Surveys.

    * DW wants a trip to Ikea. Will try to be frugal.

    * Waiting to hear if a long-distance charity walker wants me to escort her on a leg of her walk through my neck of the woods. Free exercise.

    News

    * Interesting article on why you shouldn't charge your phone battery to full capacity to prolongue it's life. (Article in Plain English) (Article in Geek Speak) We've been using "Battery 100% Alarm" for a long time. It's a free App that plays a tune when your phone is fully charged so you know know it's time to unplug it. (Link)

    Live long, live well and prosper.

    Good morning everyone. :wave:

    Plans for today
    :cool2: PAD
    :cool2: tutoring
    :cool2: take kids pokemon hunting if they want to go (I'm quite enjoying getting out and about)
    :cool2: lots of crochet
    :cool2: bit of cooking
    :cool2: get the kids to muck in with housework
    :cool2: mins game with the kids
    :cool2: nap if I need to
    Have a good day everyone...
