Paid off the £31,000! BUT - still scrimping!

On the coffee front I have a Tassimo machine and love the Kenco Columbian coffee pods. At work I have the Mr S Taste the Difference one cup filter bags which are brilliant, everyone comments on the aroma. I don’t do instant coffee would rather just drink hot water.

I have one cup of instant first thing made by Mr M_F.  As its as soon as I wake up I don't really notice the taste and just want something to drink!  I will have to look as Sainsbury's own filter bags when the lock downs over.

I love reading your diary you seem so positive and organised.  You have inspired me to download the 30 day cleaning book (for free onPrime so very MSE). Just got to read and do it now! 😊😘

Hi moving_forward @redofromstart and @Sun_Addict - I would love a bean to coffee machine too!  Alas I don't really have the room for one in my kitchen. DD has a posh one built into one of her kitchen units which I lust after.😍 One day seasidegal, one day......

Hi @PaulieHerts 👋.  Thank you for your post - awh that's a lovely thing to say  - I feel quite chuffed. 😀  I think my positivity stems from a rather Scarlett O'Hara concept of 'Well Tomorrow is Another Day'. It can lead to me pushing things to the back of my mind to deal with later.   Not always a good thing as procrastination then sets in with some aspects of my life, e.g. not getting to grips with my new headphones because of my fear of tech! (If you're reading this @doingitanyway and @another_casualty I promise I'm going to sort it out today!🤣). And I hope the book proves useful!😀

Yesterday I caught up with friends and family on the phone - DD, DSis, a BF and a lovely forumite buddy!😀. It was good to have a natter, hear the latest news and have some social contact. 

This morning I went to our little Co-op and bought a few more bits to top up this week's food bank donation.  I also bought my lotto  ticket for Wednesday while I was there. Then took all the FB stuff to the church - they were a bit late in opening and it was good to see that a little queue had formed ready to donate.   I'm looking forward to my walk later as the weather is glorious out there today. And going to have a go at the Barbara Currie yoga stretches DVD as I'm feeling like a crock lately flexibility wise. 

SCRIMPY MSE THINGS 

Just the FB and the lotto ticket buys today. 

CLEANING PROJECT 

Well I've been let off a bit today as the rather big Cleaning task was The Pantry!  But I gave my food cupboards a good sort out and clean a couple of weeks ago so all ok there. The Organising task is to sort out The Food Storage Container Cupboard - which I don't possess. My Tupperware type boxes are in a deep kitchen drawer with other kitchen bits so I'll sort out and clean the whole drawer.  Today's Maintenance job is 'Emphasis on the Utility Room'. I haven't got one of these so will give the washer drier a good wipe down. I also found a packet of washing machine cleaner at the back of a cupboard the other week so will use this to run through the machine.

I've also got some stuff to clean the washing machine so just put it in. I think I shall simply do everything you do instead of a things to do list as your life runs a lot smoother than mine generally. Haha. Looking forward to my book coming. I keep thinking about the beauty box. Can it be cancelled at any time or are you committed for a year?  
Good luck (not that it is needed as you will be fine) with the headset

If you're going to follow me @doingitanyway it'll give me the impetus to keep going with the project!😀

Not sure about the beauty box cancellation. Will have to check. If @Sun_Addict is reading she will probably know. Apparently my box is now in transit!

I agree about you being organised and positive SSG .
How did you get on with your yoga stretches last night? I always feel much better for doing them.

Sun_Addict

You can cancel the beauty box whenever you want as far as I know. I’ve had my subscription for years ever since it was the You beauty box. They normally only take a few days to arrive but obviously the current situation is affecting this.

I'm shamefaced to admit that I didn't do them last night @HairyHandofDartmoor (also hangs head down). I'm going to do them when I get back from my walk so I'll be a bit loosened up. I'm actually quite looking forward to them. And I'll sort out the headphones afterwards too!😀
