What small DFW things will you do this week? W/c 27th March

FatVonD

I've been asleep all afternoon, I must have needed it though I guess.

The lady arrived to pick up the side table, I nearly missed her, she was just leaving by the time I heard the doorbell! I groggily carried it across the chest of drawers that didn't get picked up and is now blocking a doorway :mad: and then went back to bed

HK so sorry to hear this. Really hope she turns up today x

Wow I actually slept until 6.45 :T felt like a massive lay in!

I need to get cracking but really not feeling motivated to do so at the moment!

House is a tip so needs sorting pronto! kitchen done wasn't as bad as I thought it was!dd is coming round for roast and we're going to the park and coming back for a craft session. Free activities roast is a ys bird I got yesterday with ys potatoes and veg

dd has given me 45 strawberry plants she has been given! That adds to the 12 "all season" plants she has bought me and 20 my allotment neighbour gave me a couple of weeks ago. Literally famine to feast! :T am wondering if 77 plants is excessive???! :rotfl: Am dropping dd home later and collecting oh dropped her back. I was exhausted and had a nap. was lovely to see dd but she was a bit manic which can be exhausting to have someone talking at you non stop for 3 hours!

Might go to the a1di and do my grocery shopping on the way back... just did a meal plan and shopping list and it's coming out at £36 on my supermarket for my "big shop". didn't go out so this will need to wait until Tuesday now...

I must wrap up and post these fleabay sales! done

going to go to the allotment shortly for a couple of hours (first tidying & wrapping! will post items on my return ) to plant broad beans, do some digging and raking. Will bring home a bag of crumbly compost to dig into my bed here (have clay soil so trying to improve it!) must be careful to sieve it and ensure no perennial weed roots are in it! I have a lot of marestail at the allotment and don't want to transfer it here! Will also take some (free) patio slabs and cardboard with me to make pathways/mark out beds did some digging, planted out broad beans and 20 strawberry plants Oh my there are a lot more than 50 strawberry pug plants in the box! did some weeding and a small bit of digging. Also sowed some cucumber, 1 courgette & 1 patty pan seed - should have done 2 but I only had 2 seeds of each. Comfrey, marigolds, more tomatoes, sweet peas all germinating

This evening we will just have light tea after roast film/game and family time. Sounds bliss!

whoop I did everything on my list!

Also received free tomato seeds through the post thanks ally

And managed a NSD

I haven't managed to drop in for a few days.

Thank you for the suggestions regarding my monthly afflictions, if anyone has any others please speak up. FatVonD I so wish extended breast feeding had stopped my periods, I found on both occasions my periods resumed around 11 months post birth, even though I continued breast feeding way beyond that.

Angelpye When I was last on AD they seemed to take about 5 weeks to be fully effective. I hope they start working for you quickly and you can find your way to a better place.

OH is aware I post on this thread but has no idea what I say or the name I use. I do occasionally mention this thread when talking to him, but generally he shows no interest in what we talk about.

Earlier in the week we had a delivery from the wholesalers. The order included items for other people, everybody has paid and collected their order :j, My Dad being the only exception, we will drop his order off in the next couple of weeks when we go to visit.

Today's list:
RMS correctly delivery
Made batch of porridge
Make bread & pizza bases
Set DW to run overnight
Set WM to run overnight
FPL, Ashleigh etc
Ongoing survey
Surveys
PAD
Sorted through freezer and updated freezer inventory
B/L/D from stores
Stuck to meal plan
Renew library books
Dropped dd & nephew at history club, my sister brought them home
Dried washing on airer as it rained
Did not wash hair

I have yet to catch up on what everyone is up to, I am determined to do that tomorrow. In the meantime take care.

1LuckyLady, jacket potato here too but just with cheese and coleslaw, yours sounds lovely!

BaileysBabe, with a combination of drug induced menopausal state prior to IVF, pregnancy itself and then extended BF I managed 4 years with no periods, it was bliss. I noticed somebody had put tampons in the food bank collection today, a nice gesture I thought.

I've just completed another trade on WBB for £15.83, I will get those packaged up and dropped off tomorrow.

I *finally* printed out some samples of my order of service ready to photograph tomorrow. I am doing some for free for one of my mum's friends and need to show her samples so that gave me the kick up the backside to do it. I checked the finished listings for funeral order of service on eBay and while most are listed as around £70 for 50 the completed listings all seem to be just for 10 or so. It seems it's not going to be as profitable as I'd hoped but every little helps.

I have a few things to put on eBay, I'll do that tomorrow. Can't believe I'm still tired after a 7 hour nap this afternoon!

Well up early, still no sign of daughters cat. If she is out there we reckoned she will be very scared and took some advice about leaving food out and that she will move at night and when quiet. I have one cat that likes to go out first thing and then come back 10 minster later for her breakfast so have been letting her out first thing. Mind you she is not one for getting up early so after a 6am start has gone back to bed.

Had a drive round several times yesterday, especially round an estate where alot of cats cut thru.
I'm sure someone is getting a good snack out of the food, but just feel we have to do something. All the neighbours aware, but at least I know we will have done everything.
My daughter has just shut her feelings down about her cat, I took her for a driving lesson yesterday but she did mention it to the instructor and I think it took her mind off continually driving around back at home with no end result.
Many thanks for your kind thoughts everyone, and reading ur posts gave me hope that we will find her.

Have already sorted some washing out and unloaded the dishwasher. Just had my breakfast.
Taking my daughter to watch her friends in her sports team today. She normally plays but has took a year out being an important year for uni.
It is absolutely freezing here at the minute so heating on and radiator shuffle going on.
Will hopefully get to hoover later and kitchen floor washed and still have to wash my daughters school shirt. One week left and the school runs finally finish accept for exams......it goes too quick.

Morning guys been up an hour and am raring to go but as oh is such a light sleeper I have to be quiet. I might actually go to the lottie for an hour and do some digging....

BB I am assuming you have tried evening primrose oil? Also B12 is supposed to help

I want to call in to the SM (might be multiple!) to see if I can get a couple of the buckets they have flowers in so I can make a strawberry tower. Need to pot up these strawberries today! I have offered some to my friend so she'll be popping in this evening to collect.

we are off to the Hop Farm today with the group of kinship carers we are connected with. Free tickets for The Big Day out will take packed lunches and drinks. Will treat madam to an ice cream

will grab frozen lamb out of freezer to make shepherds pie for this evening

Get lunches/bags/clothes ready for tomorrow

relist unsold fleabay items and list a few more. Enthused by the £20 I made this week

Ok that'll do. Really hoping the getting of free buckets is going to be an easy task as really need to plant these and don't want to part with any cash!

Hope you all have a lovely day x

Hi April Awesome-ees,

Hurrah for a day off.

Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Two:

* Check online banking.

* Sold £9.50 of stamps on eBay and posted them.

* Had the Lentil and Beef Stew last night that I batch cooked on Fri. Tonight we'll have the Chicken Curry I made then.

* "Fixed" our WiFi. Operation Joint Warrior is going on here so we have a sea full of boats and subs and an air full of aircraft. Wonderful though this spectacle is it knocks out our WiFi. (They say it doesn't but it smurfing-well does, every year.) Had to move the "box" into the Study in the hope of getting a signal from the other direction. Roll on Fri when the Armed Forces go home!

* Checked DW's online banking.

* Cleaned the car. It's going to rain soon so that will wash the soap off. :rotfl:

Still listi-fying...

LK - so sorry to hear your daughter's cat hasn't found its way home yet.

Morning everyone. The sun is shinning here in London and it just puts me in a great mood I'm up before the kids so a bit of 'me' time before the teenagers start shouting at each other.

Today I'm aiming to:

Check for any outstanding surveys
Put my daughters bike up for sale on Ebay, she's overgrown it by a mile!
Wash and hang out clothes in this lovely warm sunshine
Try and get a workout in, and do a free workout from You Tube.. probably Shelly Dose or Millionaire HIIT
Check my banking app and make sure all up to date
Make dinner from cupboards tonight
My online Sainsbury's order arrives today, I had a £10 off coupon so happy with that
Going to pedicure my own feet later... they've been hidden away for the winter so need some TLC haha!

That's it for now, have a wonderful day everyone

Hi everyone :wave:

Had a lovely day yesterday at pal's baby shower. She loved her nappy cake. Also won a prize for one of the games - a magazine, a big bar of chocolate and a coffee sachet.
Foxgloves - I thought about you - someone bought her something from this place http://www.babyblooms.co.uk/ - baby socks rolled up to look like a bouquet of roses!
This place also sells nappy cakes for up to £75!!

Not much on today except another 5h drive... zzzz

Will get home quite early though so there should still be time to sort the house out a bit tonight and do another amazon prime now shop for groceries - I love it.

Catch up soon everyone!
