What small DFW things will you do this week? w/c 22/05

Happy_Kitties

Good morning everyone

Well if it's true about muck for luck then my DD should sail her driving test today.......the cat cleaning has been more challenging than normal with alot of projectile vomiting from one cat going on _pale_(apologies to those eating and reading this!)
After vowing not to spend anything more, u lot must have been influencing me and DD.
DD has decided that she wants to grow some vegetables, so we went up to the garden centre y'day
DM had given DD money for tea and cake, so after that, DD bought seeds and bulbs for her veges and I bought some pansies, and seeds to cheer up the front garden. Also bought an item that was reduced (£10 off) which will make an ideal present for a relative.
I'm also trying to buy a top up present every month to put away for Christmas( sounds strange saying this when the weather is so nice) so it not only saves me the cost at Christmas,but crowds with a wheelchair-I hate it, you would be surprised at how many times a person has swung around and hit me with a basket. Crowds and cold are not for me.

So today's plans include, DW about to go on
Finish off a small amount of paperwork
Take DD for driving test-going to pick up some cat food while in Mr Ts waiting for her.
Get a mat washed that I want to try and sell on fb
Get DD uniform ironed ready for her first exam
Get a washing load on the go.

Have a great day everyone x

Morning all
Sneaking in from work to report it's blimming warm today and my mental health is not good. Approaching maximum stress levels. Too many things being juggled about at work and home and everywhere in between.
Today's plans include to try and hang onto my mood without having a break down (not doing so well there so far) and not give myself too much of a hard time about anything while I'm not feeling good.

Ziggy - fingers very firmly crossed for your dh

Fingers crossed for your daughter, HappyKitties

Dawn, do you have a spare dog lead you could put on so you both have one?

What a scorcher today is looking like being, I will give the garden a good drenching tonight.

I have houmous left over from yesterday if it hasn't disappeared overnight and some crisps to do in so that's lunch sorted.

I have half a pack of grapes left for snacking plus I broke own a box of catering mini packs of biscuits last night so I have also brought some of those. I bought them for the soft play venture that hasn't yet happened (if it ever does) but they go out of date in July.

Tonight will be mostly about washing the minging plates which have been soaking overnight and cleaning the bathroom as per my new planner rota

Have a lovely day all

Good morning all,

A busy day for me work wise, just thought I would pop on before I start. Happykitties fingers crossed for your daughter. I've also started Xmas shopping. I'm trying to be much more organised this year.
It's back to just the two of us as DS3 went back to Leeds last night. I think tea will be leftover chilli with hm chips and garlic bread.
Todays jobs include
-Posting 7 ebay parcels.
-Listing loads more items and having a stocktake in my shop
-Paying some money into the bank.
-I need to check bank and DD's

I'm feeling positive this morning. Just had a long catch up with my son in Australia. I do miss him but I know he's happy and that makes me happy
Have a good Wednesday all x

Julie I'm so glad your family were all ok.

Ziggy Good job your son's friend had a sensible friend with him. So many kids would have panicked. Hope your husband will get his op ok next week.

I must have been typing when Ziggy and CCL posted this morning.

Ziggy, fingers crossed for Tuesday x

CCL, hang on in there, GCSEs will all be over soon. We all have a limit to how much we can cope with and you're at your limit, you just need to remove one thing. Can you bunk off of tutoring this week (assuming it's not a GCSE pupil?) Order yourself a takeaway and take yourself off to your bedroom, close the door and forget about the rest of the house. Put a shout out on FB for a local washing and ironing service and get someone else to drop it off (and pay for it!) You can make up the money some other way during the summer holidays.

Good (late) afternoon, all

Been a quiet day for myself today, it's my rest day at work so just lay about like a store dog. Here's what I've done/am going to do:

NSD
Made best use of breakfast/lunch stuff going out of date for meals
Washing in and currently drying (DD had an accident last night in bed as she's unwell the poor soul)
House all tidied and kitchen cleaned
Debating whether 2 scotch pies with yesterday's use by are suitable to use for my dinner tonight (?) - I'm annoyed I missed these, I was fully aware of the dates on all the foods in the fridge but I seemed to think today's date was 22nd!
Drinking plenty of water and logging everything I eat in app - on a mission to gain some weight after weighing myself this morning.

Not much in terms of paying of debts but a quiet, spend-free day will help the cause I'm sure

Have a lovely evening all.

Now think about it, would something awful have happened to those pies on the stroke of midnight, like Cinderella's coach / pumpkin? If they have been stored correctly since you bought them, ie,in the fridge at the correct temperature, the pies will be fine. If they haven't been stored as recommended, they won't - but they wouldn't have been yesterday either! It is your call, obviously, but if I was confident that they had been stored correctly, I would eat them (perhaps not them, as I don't like them, but a similar item )
