Morning all :hello:

Quick post before away out the door but need a list to keep me on the straight and narrow:

Check banking, surveys and FPL
Moved £1.20 £copayment to savings
Left over pasta for lunch, snack and bottle of (tap) water with me
Next veg box arrived, all packed away. Two humongous apples, one will be my snack at work today. Should feed an army
Didn't have left over lamb yesterday so that will be today with some greens from veggie box
Quick shower, leave hair to dry
Double check time of shoe appointment for girls for Monday
Car insurance renewal came via e mail sneakily haven't said how much it is and you have to go through a million hopes to get info. Already not impressed. Have already done a comparison and now what I'm going to pay as a maximum

Right best get on, enjoy the weather folks. PF.

Good afternoon all
Didn't get a chance to report in this morning because I've been busy... DD has been out to meet up with friends for bowling and a catch up and I took ds pokemon hunting while she was out. Should have been cheap but I succumbed to drinks and ice cream because it got SO hot... naughty step for me.
Also, the crochet blanket is almost done :j:j:j I'm really proud of it if I do say so myself. And already thinking about my next project, which will be something for bestie's birthday next month

Hi all,
Not so many jobs on the list today as mr f can't spend his whole week off cleaning ovens & cutting hedges, so we had a day out. Have kept the faith, but treated ourselves to an icecream this afternoon as so hot. So here are my things:
*Laundry done overnight on cheap tariff & pegged out first thing.
*Took a picnic with us on our outing, including a flask of coffee & home-baked cake, so only petrol & admission price.
*mr f only put as little petrol in the car as he thought we could get away with as we hand over our car to the car dealership in part-ex tomorrow & he said he's b*ggered if they're getting half a tank of free petrol with it too!
*Rubber chicken will do it's 3rd dinner tonight - chinese chicken stir-fry, which will be using some of our home-grown stuff (Ooooh, congratulations on those beans, Bagpuss, it's so rewarding growing our own stuff, isn't it?!)
*Water veggie garden & greenhouse.
*Updated budget AGAIN! Yes, I know I only did it the other day, but we have a huge wodge of cashola going out of our account tomorrow morning as we are paying the balance on the new motor, & I had a bit of a wobble & needed the control of seeing all the absolute latest figures on paper in black & white to save me stressing tomorrow.
*Sorted out all relevant car documents for the car we're selling. All 4 tyres & the expensive work/parts we had done on the gearbox are still under guarantee. Wish I could also tell whoever buys it off the garage that the clutch is ok too. We had it thoroughly looked at when they had to take it out to work on the gear box & mechanic said it was in perfect working order. Am going to check over all the paperwork again as it will be annoying to have to send on stuff we've forgotten. Remembered to take favourite umbrella & NT parking sticker out of the car too.
*Did 6 supermarket feedback prize draws. Someone has to win & I think it was more than high time that it was me!
*Updated a market research project I was recruited for via Ugov. I finished the other one earlier this week & will get 30,000 Toluna points for it, which will take me pretty much to my next voucher.
*2p roadkill
*Another 50p paid into my sealed pot......though I spotted mr f feeding THREE £2 coins into his the other day so I need to up my game. Why do we get so competitive over this? Opening the night before his birthday in December again & he's hoping there'll be sufficient in his for a new model X-box....................whereas mine will be spent on something lovely.
OK, must sign out & see how the chef's getting on. It was my cooking night but he volunteered as I'd got budgeting to worry over.
Cheers all,
F x

LegoMum - Just before I disappear.......re your husband always feeling poorly & under the weather when he's on leave/holiday, this is just a thought........
Someone I know had exactly the same thing with her partner on holiday or even if he was at home on leave, but they hadn't gone away. He was tired, headachey, just not right, & you'll never guess what it was? Caffiene withdrawel!! He was drinking several coffees during his working day at the office, but this was a 'work' rather than a 'home' habit, so he was then going on leave/holiday & only having the one or two with my friend that she'd normally have & the big drop in caffiene was causing him to feel really grotty for the first few days.
This may not be at all relevant for your husband's situation but I thought I'd mention it. mr f & I drink lots of coffee & we certainly both start to feel really yuk if we go too far into the morning without one. I am ok with as low as 2 proper 'cafetiere' mugs a day, but if I missed one of those, I would get a headache & start mithering. Anyway, just a thought.
