Craft fun seems lovely until you factor in I'm controlly McControlsalot and madam doesn't do it right! Lanterns reduced from 4 to 2 to save both my sanity and voice and madams self esteem :rotfl:

Hi all,
Thanks for the kind words, it has been an awful year. Can't wait to put it behind us and move on.

Plan's for today:
* Electrician is hopefully coming around this week so need to move some of the debris out of the living room so he has some space to start the rewire.
* Meals from stores
* General tidy up and get all the work uniforms and OH's work shirts sorted for this week
*Awaiting a delivery from Screwfix so need to clear a space for all that to live there too.

Happy Sunday to you all!

I've got a bullet journal 1LL - funnily enough I started a new one yesterday. I found youtube was better than pinterest for ideas

I just had a thought that my salary due tomorrow might actually be in already and it is and my student loan has finished!! So that's a morning of YNABing for me sorted.

We're going to meet my sis for lunch - she is driving home and passing nearby - she lives about 250 miles away so it will be great to see her.

Leftover chicken for tea tonight.
Need to pop to the shops as we're running out of everything... :eek:

Then just tidying round and taking poochface out somewhere.

Catch up soon everyone!

Morning all, sorry I've been absent for a day...or 2, I cant remember! I really haven't been sleeping well and am only managing about 3 hours of broken sleep a night! I'm planning on doing nothing but chilling out today and I have my baby shower this afternoon which has been thrown by a few good friends, so I'm really looking forward to that. I've also done the food shopping this morning . Have a relaxed Sunday everyone x

What should I do with a big bag of spinach that is OOD? Might use some at lunch but not all of it... Can I freeze it? Or do something and then freeze???

Ooh, potato and spinach curry (I LOVE this!!). Just google sag aloo, there are loads of variations on the theme out there

Exhausting weekend, halloween thingy at DD1's for kids and their friends' kids last night, then I took grandkids indoors, bathed and put them to bed while their parents and their pals partied most of the night :eek: Didn't sleep much, a bit headachey today (definitely not a hangover lol). Home now, jacket potatoes and the rest of the sausage casserole I made on Friday in the oven, wood burner lit, dog worn out from his busy weekend :rotfl:, bliss

In other news, 7 items sold on ebay over the weekend, so packing to do tomorrow - no rush as I can't post tomorrow, the local post office will be closed due to industrial action (good on them, I say!)

Been focussed on my mental health today. It helps with money saving though because when I'm depressed I spend more-
- meditated
- went on a walk in the woodland nearby and it was beautiful. Got 7,000 points for bounts.
- Got a few bits from Morrisons and was pleased that I put a Halloween decoration that I thought I needed but don't really!
- DD has carved pumpkin ready for tomorrow and I'm going to make pumpkin and pepper soup for tomorrow's lunch
- made homemade cottage pie. Lots of veggies - need to look after myself
- sold 2 things on Facebook and made £12.
- collected a jumper for my DD she and I were pleased that we found it in the sale. I'm turning her into a mini MS.
That's all for me, LP x

Morning all, my list for today;

- meal plan for the week, should be able to do this without needing to buy anything extra will do this tomorrow or Tuesday as I'm only in work Monday afternoon
- work out how much extra money I need to pay bills this month in preparation for asking OH to contribute done, not looking good, need another £375 just to pay bills
- do housework to keep me occupied didn't get as much done as I would have liked, LO has been very clingy all weekend
- download eBay app and list a few items didnt dl the app, just used the mobile site, have hardly any space on my phone to dl apps
- complete surveys/enter comps done but would like to attempt some more tonight SB was lacking in surveys yesterday
- probably a NSD as LO is not well, we may be in need of fresh air later so might take the opportunity to pick up some fruit yesterday I spent 80p on bananas, today I spent £2.99 on a personalised mug Christmas present which should also get me some money back through TCB
- look up recipes to use up frozen mango and mixed berries, no idea how long either have been there but they are taking up valuable space tried making a smoothie but wasn't really fancying it, space in freezer is more important right now than not throwing these away so I'm sorry to say they will be binned and replaced with LO carrot and swede mash from dinner tonight

Enjoy your Saturday everyone

I've raided my random gift draw, think I could put together small Xmas presents for family using these, have yet to tell family that I won't be doing as much as usual this year but I know they will be fine with it.

Off to try and do more surveys, need to get some more money from somewhere

Bob, your signature is looking fab!

Well I haven't got much else done this afternoon as I got an email from tlaktalk about price increases so I've been doing my research and seeing if we can get a better deal. Why do these things always take on a life of their own! :mad:
* Booked onto gym classes for next week
* Catching up with a series on catchup
* 3 baths out of one lot of hot water


I need to get cracking with my annoying list ready for the kids/hubby being back to normal on Monday.

Thank you. Keep on keeping on hey!
