What small DFW things will you do this week? w/c 1 May

allydowd

Hi May Marvelousos,

I'm still off work and just about up to having a wee potter around the house.

Good news about the cat H.K.

Don't know where to start so I'll add to this list as I go along:


Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Two: (nearly Three!)

* Checked online banking.

* Paid 0% credit card off. I just use it for "big" purchases now to get Section 75 protection and pay it off immediately.

* Cleared out coupons folder.

* Unpicked swimming costume at shoulder and re-sewed it tighter as it is starting to sag revealing rather too much bust!

* Recycled an ink cartridge for Tesco clubcard points. (Link)

* Tesco Clubcard vouchers are being generated from today to arrive on or around 15th May. I have £2.50 to come. This is good considering we seldom use the place.

* Snacking on leftover rice.

* Reusing carrier bags as bin liners.

* Keeping a very close eye on Broadband allowance.

* Checked all loyalty points.

* DW has offered to vacuum and wash the car. <Faints> Cheaper than doing at the petrol station.

* Audited medicine drawer. We have lots of everything. Luckily we both get free prescriptions on the NHS. Consumed a single left over Vitamin pill.

* DW has made free fuchsia babies from our master plant.

* Chased up pending greenhouse delivery. It was meant to be here this week, now they're saying next Friday. DW isn't amused.

Onwards and upwards.

Wow HK! Happy Kitties indeed! That's great news you got her back!! :T

I'm WFH today. Plan to get lots of little bits around the house done too. DW and WM are both on at the min.

I slept really badly last night because work is so bad and I was composing emails rather than sleeping!!! I then had to start at 7.15am and have an absolute nightmare day planned.

I am going to visit the parents this weekend so after 6pm it will be train wine/gin and reading my book on the train for a few hours.

Saved £22.20 today as didn't need dog care place or tram fare as I'm WFH :T

Also means I have time/inclination to put chicken in the SC for later.

Lunch is fish finger sandwich - not had fish fingers for months and the thought of them is really cheering me up! Oh the small things!

Afternoon all!

I'd saved a pack of the YS strawberries for breakfast then forgot to bring them in so I had some fig rolls from a pack I bought yesterday.

Lunch was my second sausage roll (though I did buy crisps to go with it.) I will never buy the named brand ones again, they weren't very nice, in fact I have half left over to feed the pigeons on the way to the tube tonight.

I have ordered Mr T vouchers to go to Cafe Red at the weekend.

Yesterday I was asking the folk who deal with the water deliveries what happens to the empties and was told they are counted in and counted out. As luck would have it I spotted the man who collects the empties and had a word in his ear and he said that he had a couple of trips to make and he wouldn't notice if one went missing while he was downstairs so I now have a huge bottle to make a huge cloche for Auby

I will do a recce of the YS stuff tonight but may not stick around unless it's really good. I have some smoked haddock from another run and the kedgeree went down well last weekend so may cook that tonight again.

Tonight I'm planning on loading the last few things into my car for Saturday's table top sale and then (hopefully) getting an early night.

I will do more washing then sort into stuff that needs ironing and stuff that doesn't.

Happy_Kitties

Thank you for everyone's kind thoughts over missing kitty now home.
she is absolutely exhausted and I was worried about her today so decided on the vet today.
Took her to see one of our favourite vets that always deals with my mum's cats. Kitty has lost over 2lbs in weight:(. The vet is abit concerned about some lumps in the abdomen, it might be because she has started eating proper food again or has eaten something dodgy while on her travels. Got to keep her under close observation and back on Monday for another check up:(
But the vet was right about one thing, the great outdoors is not for missing kitty now home.
The baby of the family, he's an 18 month old pampered kitty doesn't really understand what has been going on and has been stressing, so keeping an eye on him aswell.
Apart from paperwork, taking kitty to the vets and treating my DD to some cake, she bought the drinks (we had vouchers for both) nothing much else has been done apart from the good start early this morning.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
Sounds like Auby is going to be pampered FVD
LaE you definately cannot beat a fishfinger sandwich in life, i love them:T
Have a great evening everyone x

HK I am so pleased that the cat has come home. Hope all is well when you go back to the vet, and she'll be so spoilt now. I'm thrilled that she's back
Nothing to report here - busy week, early night, and I've decided to have a glass of wine in front of the telly tonight... Just pleased to be another week closer to the hols. x

I was reading today about a woman who designed a garden for the Chelsea Flower Show and it apparently cost her a fortune which got me to thinking...

Perhaps we should all apply to do our own small things garden featuring totally recycled products :rotfl: We could have my pallet decking, Foxgloves olive tins, DNMS's fish pack wormery and supermarket bucket strawberry planters, my new water cooler cloche, I think we might be onto a winner

All other contributions welcome

Morning everyone!
Hope all is well.

Happy Kitties, so pleased to hear you got your cat back! How amazing was that. Poor little mite will need lots of tlc I'm sure. Hope all goes well at the vet next time.

I've still got this horrid headache. I'm thinking it is sinus pressure as I do suffer with sinus issues. Wish it would just go...

I've been up to drop DD to school this morning as she's got extra lessons in prep for the GCSE's. After I dropped her I popped to Tesco's for a top up shop which I didn't do yesterday. Bit disappointed that I'm over budget this week. I was trying to stick to £100 and I've come in at £128. Must try harder next week!

Today's list:

- Use up some of the left over avocado from last night on my toast this morning with egg (still not had breakfast yet)
- Put on a couple of loads of washing (mainly school uniforms, PE kits and teens clothes) and hang outside to dry
- Pack up my Ebay items ready to post on Monday
- See what other things I can post on Ebay and get those up
- Hoover, mop, dust and clean downstairs
- Complete some surveys
- Try and see if I'm up for a workout. If I do it will be a low impact one

That's all for now,

Enjoy your Saturday everyone

Morning all
Today's plans:
Small shop (done, walked for free exercise )
Fold and put away dry washing from yesterday Must do this!
List at least one new thing on ebay, relist any that are ending Relisted where necessary but not listed any new things
Sort through rammed kitchen cupboards and fill up a box of kitchen stuff etc for CS Done - had to try 3 CS before I found one that would take the items. If only they would lower their prices they would shift more, the antique shop where I have a space is frequently cheaper for anything 'old' than the local charity shops Anyway, there were some nice items in the boxes, and the lady in the one that agreed to take them seemed pleased with them
HM meals Done, sandwiches for lunch and a trout, that OH caught yesterday and smoked today, for dinner
Bit of housework Not done, apart from clearing and cleaning the sink area and sorting the cupboards - but the night is young!
Anything that needs doing in the garden Repotted a fuchsia that had decided that it had survived the winter after all, and loads of watering.
Walk dog later, more free exercise Done
