Hi All

Ziggy, hope all goes well for you and your husband.

Early start for me. Lambing shed ticking over and now almost completed my day at work. I will be glad to get home to bed tonight.

Stir fry again tonight, so quick supper and pj's and sleep.
Wash done cheap rate this am at 5. And I will leave it for dryer until tomorrow at 5 again. Aiming to only do laundry on cheap rate.

Away on Friday for a weekend with the girls. I am so excited. I need a budget for food and fun.

Have a good Tuesday everyone.

Maria.

Sorry I've not been about. SO busy at the moment doing 14 hour days at work. I will be back though and report in properly over the next day or two.

Happy Kitties sorry about your cat, and also your daughter failing her test. Hope things improve on both counts.

Luckylady well done on your fab NSD figure!

Determined wow to your voucher score, amazing!

Foxgloves sounds like one of THOSE days! But you still achieved a lot.

Have any of you crafters been inspired to join in with the shall we call them 'womens' hat craze?

Didn't get chance to read this morning so more a post of what I've done rather than what I will do.

Checked banking, surveys and FPL
Pad to savings. Done a whole months of set amount pads, starting at £3.65 and took a penny a day off. Now at just over £105 have been tidying accounts to zero for my normal pads too.
Left over chilli and rice to work
Used grated cheese small didn't eat in tonight jacket potato
Fresh blueberries in my baked oats this morning, saving frozen for when I don't have any fresh
NSD, don't count these but may in February after 1LL inspiration :T
made a salad for tomorrow's lunch using up all sorts of small things in the fridge
Minimal heating, relatively mild today

Hi all

Cheery Daff got an email from Topcashback customer services to say that when you first join your given a trial of the premium membership and then auto enrolled. Anyway they have processed a refund, it will take 6-8 weeks but I don't think it will affect the recent cashout.

Whoever was asking, I bank with Nationwide the switch over was easy and the customer service is great.

DNMS I need to eat healthier and less! Ate the emergency crisps and snack bar in my draw today! I brought in a packed lunch of soup, yogurt and fruit too. I've been thinking of joining a gym, there is one up the road from work which is £16 per month, but I'm away with work next week so didn't see the point in joining until I return.

I ordered medicated shampoo from the docs today, I hate it, but I have prognosis too Ziggy. The only plus point is that I get prescriptions free because I have an under active thyroid.

I checked FPL and market research - nothing doing.

Used recycled packaging to send eBay sale.

Polished and replaced the laces in my DD's school shoes £2 looks good for another few weeks whilst I've done a saved search on eBay.

Bought my DH an Ariel Atom track day on Groupon £39. Went through cashback site too. Apparently insurance is an extra £20 might see if I can get something cheaper before he goes. I'd rather buy a decent pressie that he'll love.

Bye for now, LP x

Hi all,

Continued a little experiment in the world of surveys a bit today. Made £7 over three surveys but two of them were super interactive so I actually enjoyed them. Also did a bit swag bucks and clocked up 300 points...not sure if thats good or not but I can see myself filling in when I am avoiding the washing up etc.

NSD again today so that's two in a row and everything else achieved

HappyKitties If the cat isn't in pain and it hasn't spread is having a three legged cat an option if your mum doesn't want to lose her?

Same old, same old for me today. Didn't spend anything on breakfast or lunch.

I converted the points from my energy supplier to clubcard points so will have an extra £14, effectively £56 worth of deals vouchers :T

No news on the job I applied for but early days still I suppose. It won't be the end of the world if I don't get it as the travelling would be a pain, especially with the refurbishment of W@terloo station later in the year affecting all our train services.

I only realised today that I have this coming Friday and Monday off :T This was all part of my plan to save on rail fares as my ticket runs out on Thursday and then I can just buy three weekly tickets to cover the rest of February (rather than buy a monthly for what is a short month) so I've saved myself around £70

Time I got some beauty sleep, night, night all!

Hi February Folks,

Operation Sanity didn't quite go according to plan yesterday as I was struck down with back pain again part way through the day and had to stop. I think it's actually my kidneys. So the list has rolled over to today and I'll get through what I can before work at noon. Woke up hungry at 3am so decided to eat a little something and then go back to bed for a couple more hours:

Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Two:

* Put charity sticker in car that has been sitting indoors for 4 weeks.

* Look at why cooker isn't working; possibly repair. Cooker dead. Shopping for new one.

* Clean downstairs.

* Listen to a comedy CD that's been sitting around the house unplayed for too long.

* Cancel an appointment. Done.

* Buy a CD online.

* Think about DW's forthcoming birthday.
