Morning all :hello: just enjoying 5 minutes peace with a cuppa and a catch up on here before everyone else gets up. I've already checked my utilities bill that came this morning and logged it on my sheet. Wish we didn't need to use any electric in the day it's soooo much cheaper at night
also done my banking, last DD for the pay period paid gone and still bills account in (very, very small) credit and so is spends account :j both will get swiped to savings before payday. Made a pad to savings and started it in a new pot - so I now have 0.24% towards our new lounge window :rotfl:
Other things for today:
Freezer dive for something for lunch to work, plus bottle (tap) water from fridge and snacks
DH to make tea with some of left of lamb, rest for freezer
Check bank accounts on here so I know which one to open once new mortgage payment is set up, plus will likely do some sort of reward credit card for when we need to buy online (and pay off straight away) and then I can cancel our 2 with zero balance on
Quick fly lady of bathroom
Check annoying things list and see how I'm doing in August and what I have left, try and do one thing or at least some of it.
Enjoy your day folks, think it'll be warm0 -
Morning all :wave: :coffee:
I had an early night last night and as a result have earned some 'me' time this morning while everyone else is still in bed. Happy days. I'm just enjoying a cuppa before I start. I didn't get very much done yesterday so lots of my list will be carried over...crazy_cat_lady wrote: »
