Evening everyone :hello:
I stupidly thought that this week was looking quieter at work but it definitely isn't going to be. Worked through break, lunch and over an hour after school. Got home and I'm ready for bed already. Early night because I need to be fresh for writing 50 reports before the end of the week. Don't be too surprised if I go a bit quiet for the rest of the week.
Another nsd and 1 blanket is now finished and ready to be put away until I decide who to give it to...
Minimal housework done, lunches packed and prepped for tomorrow.
Another nsd today.
BB - I was just thinking about your sister today and wondering how things were going. Sorry to hear that things aren't sorted out for her yet.

Evening all,

I don't feel like I've achieved much at all today, moneysaving or otherwise.

I did remember to take in a YS ready meal for lunch but was craving raspberries (I'm addicted!) so bought a full price pack :eek: and a multipack of crisps for snacking. I also went to Primani to get a couple of pairs of leggings as the ones I bought from M@talan just after Christmas have both split, sadly I no longer have the receipt :mad:

Tonight I popped in to the local Mr T intending to buy stuff at whatever price it was before final reductions but they'd already taken it out the back to reduce (as per the new regime) so I ended up waiting for half an hour for them to bring it back out again. I managed to get four packs of raspberries, five sandwiches and a pack of frozen mash. I also bought full price chips and a dip and did them to accompany the sandwiches for tea thus avoiding the Tuesday pizza deal!

I picked up all the litter from the grass verge outside (to be fair, half of it was empty containers where I've fed the fox) and put the bins out. They aren't collected until Thursday but I'm not taking any chances on forgetting!

I've put another load of washing in, I was planning on tackling the ironing tonight but I'm too knackered. I'm toying with the idea of using the ironing lady again, I'm sure I could make an extra £20 somewhere to cover it. I feel like I'm failing miserably when I compare myself to you lot in both your debt busting and stuff you get through.

That's it for me, I might scan a couple of books to see how much of my ironing they'll pay for!

Night all

It's the first day that I've felt productive in over a week.
Went to a meeting last night but really didn't achieve anything yesterday. DD did manage to flood new adapted bathroom, lovely leak came through the ceiling:mad:. I would have been gutted if it had been decorated but this isn't planned till later on in the year to give me chance to save.
I did manage to book tickets to a show I've wanted to see for a long time. I've got a carer card for DD so get a cheaper rate and the wheelchair spaces are great at the theatre.
DD is not really interested in seeing the show but spotted that Grease was going to be on at the theatre which she wants to see....again:( so we compromised, my show which I've paid for and Grease that DD has paid for:j
Up early this morning, banking all checked.,keeping a close eye on direct debits with it being the beginning of the month.
Washing out on the line
Have got to do a few things in town this morning which have built up with me being poorly.
Hoping to tackle mount ironing everest or at least attack a couple of bits.
I just wanted to say FVD don't be too hard on ur self. RL is hard, u work hard and u do the best u can for ur self, the teens and the fox. Be kind to ur self, ur not failing miserably.
CCL don't be overdoing it at work, it's not worth it if ur health goes downhill. Make time for ur self.....and good luck with those reports, I don't envy you.
Have a good day everyone x

Morning everyone,

Didn't get a chance to hop on yesterday as was in the office and the day just got away from me.

I'm WFH today so a bit more time this morning. Today's list comprises of:

- Check my Ebay sales (I've had some bids :T)
- Check banking and budget. I purchased some shoes online last night
- Need to pop to Sainsbury's for the weekly shop so my list is ready
- Pop into H&M and exchange DD's shoes
- Write to Barclaycard and stop my my payments and they've told me they cannot give me a copy of my original CC agreement so that means the debt is unenforceable. Time to play hardball and see if they'll take a reduced final payment to clear the balance
- Fit in a workout later at home
- Not going to wash my hair today
- Complete surveys and Swagbucks

Thats all from me. Have a wonderful day everyone

FVD my son's a frozen raspberry addict. They have them half price at the moment in Sains if that's any good to you.
