Morning all :hello: ToP I feel your pain. I've a really sensitive nose and if the wrong particles get up there I can't stop sneezing. Most mornings it's about 10 or so but on bad days it can be getting on for 40 or more, which is so tiring bizarrely so get airing love the list

Allthe7 what are you saving for - is it a house deposit? Good luck.

Today:
Left overs from freezer for lunch at work, thought it was lasagne, turns out to be cottage pie. No matter.
Hot drink for commute, snacks to work too (fruit)
Washing done overnight out on airer
Wrap ebay parcel, walk and post it later after work
DD to dress up for nursery today. Oops forgot yesterday
Check banking, surveys and FPL
Do one shelf of freezer tonight for an inventory - baby steps :rotfl:
Move money from fleabay once I've wrapped it
Relist some items tonight

Think that's all for now, check back later. Purps.

Done everything apart from:
posting parcel but its wrapped and ready to go, so according to my rules I can have my dosh :rotfl:
Didn't hang washing out as I'd forgotten to put it on ready to go tonight instead.

Got an email to say I had £5.74 refund on miscalculated interest on my n3xt account
Checked mine and DH credit report for free that was in MSE's e mail
Got some lasagne (definitely is this time:rotfl:) out of freezer for lunch tomorrow and 1 chicken breast. Will make some 'healthy' satay sauce tonight so quick tea for tomorrow when I'm back from my long day
Didn't succumb to driving to get DD from brownies despite the weather :A
Paid for hen do later in year (family one so no chance of me not going) used some of holiday pot
3 days until payday :j

Hi all
Been at work today, a few MS things done though
- NSD
- Took packed lunch to work
- Drank free coffee/water at work
- Had dinner from freezer food that we need to get through
- Cashed out a market research app
- Checked quidco/work cashback site as waiting for cash out
- Check market research apps, there is one in a local town, if its still there at the weekend I'll do it.
- FPL
Think that's it LP x

Decided not to eb@y the child (although she is a girl, maybe I could have got a good price from Allthe7s )

1luckylady, I hope you've recovered a little from your dentist trip, sounds horrible.

- vacuum! And vacuum some more! Did I mention that I need to vacuum? Yeah, i did this. Lots.
- pack eb@y sale. Done
- 1hr work when child 3 naps, plus social media. Done
- only eat 3 (sensible) meals plus 1 snack - I really need to deal with my upwards creeping weight, and I can't face any sort of calorie/point tracking right now. Tracking the £££s is enough work! I would settle for halting the gain and maybe a tiny loss. Hmm. Maybe two snacks. And hey weren't totally virtuous, but I did manage a bit of yoga while Child 3 napped too.
- ironing. Nope. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
- balance end of month budgets and sweep anything extra into debt overpayment. Done. Very satisfying. All ready for March.
- have a total meltdown about ongoing streaming nose and eyes and raw throat. Done. Repeatedly. Bit better now.
- sell child 3 on eb@y for causing allergy hell. Postponed indefinitely, unless she repeats her rug-related acrobatics again tomorrow, in which case she's free to good home.

Other random things:
- we have a hot water on demand boiler, but it's terrible, so runs for ages before it gets hot. Today I experimented with keeping a large jug by the sink to fill when waiting for the water to run hot, and I think I got all of my kettle and drinking water from that just today. Will definitely continue this, as water is v expensive here (south west), so every little saving helps.
- joined valued opinions survey site. Have earned a whopping £1.75 already. It's probably not going to pay for a holiday in the sun any time soon.

I keep a large trug in the bathroom and use the water while waiting for the shower to fill the water butt for the garden (can't tap into the drain pipe as rented property)

Hi all

What a week. DH forgot to check the oil tank so we have run out of heating oil. The house is freezing.

More importantly I have been worried about my second job. This job brings in nearly a quarter of our total income. Other than 2 afternoons when I have to be in the office I can work when I want (so I can fit it around my other job) and I get really well paid for it. I cant imagine that I would ever find another job like this.

The owners keep talking about closing the business down and retiring. They have decided to wait a while but it is going to happen at some point. I keep going around in circles wondering what we will do and still dont have an answer. Of course the longer I can keep working there the better because we are chipping away at the debts but its still a worry.

Well done on following your heart FVD - I am sure it will all work out.

Going to be a tight March, heating oil and other bills, going to need your inspiration and support as always.

Evening all,

Ziggy, Please don't feel guilty as the others have said you do a lot for your mum and its hard having someone else staying in your space.

I'm feeling a bit battered and bruised after going to the dentist for prep work for a crown. Its a new dentist and our old dentist was lovely and really patient with me (I gag a lot! - sorry TMI!) this one however I felt was abrupt, rough and not very considerate Ah well, its done now and hopefully will all be sorted and finished in a couple of weeks.

Ouch, hope it doesn't keep you awake and that tomorrow is a better day for you.

As well as all our usual dfw things. We have been enjoying eating pancakes for all our meals today including American pancakes and bacon, traditional pancakes with lemon and sugar and duck pancakes.
