What small DFW things will you do this week? w/c 06/02

foxgloves

Went a bit off list this afternoon & listed 5 more ebay items instead of sorting out those birthday jobs. Never mind, can always do those tomorrow. While I was on ebay, I noticed that I've sold another of that 'hard-to-shift-been-listed-about-300-times' batch of stuff. I'm very gradually getting rid of it, £1-50 at a time, lol!

Gosh, HappyKitties...I don't think I've been 'inspiring' before. I don't ever feel inspiring, anyway. Inspired, yes, by all the things which give me reason to keep getting up in the mornings, but not 'inspiring'. Nice of you to say so though. P.S I'm a cat girl like you. We have just the one.....a rather naughty big ex-street cat. He drives us mad, but he's very affectionate & amusing.

Must rush now, as haven't yet done even a shred of prep for tonight's meeting. Will have to wing it at this rate & hope that nothing kicks off.

Morning happy hump day! Been up since 5.30 - this blasted virus making me get up before the crack of dawn each day!

been productive already - despite doing very little! Armed with the exercise yesterday from that Ted talked I've planned what I want to achieve out of the day
*checked banking & updated frugal living ss
*read martin's email
* ordered free audio book (signed up to a month's free trial) saving £18.99!
* cinnamon roll out of freezer for madam's lunch
* signed up to do a ms assignment on Friday - that's Friday night dinner sorted

Still to do:
*[STRIKE] post a couple of letters[/STRIKE]
*[STRIKE][STRIKE] hang up washing[/STRIKE][/STRIKE] & do another load
*[STRIKE] finish housework[/STRIKE]
* taking madam to local zoo using membership cards saving £31! take packed lunch, snacks, flask of coffee did not happen
* list on fleabay
* might go for a swim & a sauna tonight depends on how I feel. Still not 100% not doing this and instead will do some initial brain storming for my personal statement :eek:

that'll do! Hope you all have a great day

I had an eventful day! called hospital re going and getting blood tests for madam and they said come at 12 :eek: Then as we were almost there someone pulled out from a parking bay just as I was about to go past them, I had to swerve and slam on my brakes and something happened with the seat belt holding madam's seat and she flew forward banging her head into the passenger seat. So then we ended up having to go to the A&E to be checked out. Luckily she was fine, but it frightened the life out of me. Now need to take my car to a garage and get them to check out the seat belt.

After all of that went back to get the injections and then came home. My friend popped in for a coffee

Hi February Folks,

Boy I'm tired, I've retired to the sofa for the rest of the night.

Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Two:

* New cooker was delivered today. Not exactly moneysaving, but necessary. We will save on cleaning through as it's a flat hob rather than one with individual raised elements.

* Free First Aid course at work today; much meriment at Gotham City Inc.

Hi, today we had a cheap evening meal of jacket potatoes and other than a litre of milk it has also been a non spend day. Also took out cheaper pet insurance the other day which I also did through topcashback.
And not money saving or making for me but DD had an interview for a waitressing job today and has a trial shift Friday evening so fingers crossed for her.

Good luck to your DD with her trial shift. Hope it becomes permanent:T

Glad the meeting went well. Hopefully you now have more info.

Hi everyone :hello:
Still mad busy with work. It's just a particularly busy time at the moment. We're a long way into term at the moment and everything is hectic. I just keep reminding myself that I'm doing way better than I was this time last year, both at home and at work.
Not much money saving stuff going on other than I've really suddenly become motivated to try for less food waste, and less spending on food. I'm shocked that I spend as much as I do on food and takeaway just because I'm often tired and I hate prepping food. I've told the kids that if we can save £100 a month for the next 3 months then I will use the cash to do something over May half term with them. We shall see if that motivates them.
Have chalked up another nsd as well so that's a good start.
Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Hi Bob yes she's fine, obviously she was shaken up and hurt at first but pretty quickly she was ok. Took her to be on the safe side, but with how things were with dd the other day it isn't great. Obviously called her and explained when I knew she was ok but, well you never know....

Won't be taking her in my car now until it's been checked out

all my jobs for the day are done now going to have a medicinal glass of wine to calm the nerves
