PurpleFairy26

Morning - am working form home today and have lots of little jobs to do so I need to be productive. I have:

Applied for the tesc0 panel - thanks twins just waiting to see if I've been accepted
Called builder about porch, he's coming next week
Made nurses appointment - got a cancellation for today
Load of washing on
DW on
called utilities provider about lack of bill and tariff on smart meter is wrong which defeats the object
Remembered that I hadn't 'paid myself' back for some presents I bought - moved money from present piggy - bank account looks much healthier :A

I will also:
Meals from stores, HM soup at lunchtime
Pop early to doctors and walk in to town and go to BS and take out some money and then pay that and some other cash into my bank
post fleabay parcel
vote
quick tidy round
put some clean washing away
try and go for a run at the gym later if I have time
update calendar, lots of things coming up, need to keep track and be organised

Right, must get on and do an hours work before I nip out.

Twins the Tesco gig sounds great, how did you get that?[/QUOTE]

Hi Julie! Hope the holiday is going well

Here's the link to join. Before you sign up you have to write a review about a product you've used. It goes off to the panel and they review it before they decide if you qualify to join:

Evening all :coffee:
Still tired and busy, but managing to make at least half decent food choices which is a help to me.

Hi everyone :wave:

Lovely to hear from you all.

Happy Kitties - hope you get your wheelchair sorted.

I don't really know where I've been for the past few days - life just passes you by sometimes, doesn't it?

Here's me:
Cheapo porridge brekkie with free milk made in work
HM salad with veggies from my garden
Dinner is a cheapo micro meal... Oh well, more time to be productive this eve as not cooking...
Made use of the good ol' NHS
Remembered to take something back for a refund today :A
Got 6% off groceries so was happy with that

We're going over to the inlaws' tomorrow night. Looking forward to FIL's cooking.

I've still not booked a holiday but I am itching to!

Aaawww thank you LaE, wheelchair man came this evening to drop off and adjust new wheelchair. I've known my w'chair man for a long time and he was not impressed that the chair wasn't replaced straight away and that I had to delicately use the broken chair upstairs, cutting my hand on the jagged metalwork.
FVD you did make me chuckle when you said about the calender.
My DD has well and truly caught the YS bug. Yesterday evening........
4 packs of doughnuts-9p each
Apple Danish pack-9p
Sourdough bread-9p
Rolls-9p
I can only eat so many doughnuts, I will be looking like one at this rate:eek:
My kettle is leaking, can only fill it half full without it really leaking. Found a nice one in the Arg@s clearance and 2 boxes of thorntons chocs very cheap-will use my RM survey vouchers to,pay for these:T
Beginning to fall behind on paperwork.must get my head down and get some work done.
Ended up going out for lunch with DD yesterday,had a coupon but ending up using the wrong one :mad: so didn't really benefit from using it.DD couldnt manage the big slice of cake she had for pudding so asked for a box and brought the rest home which was polished off later on.
Bought a top up Christmas present for DB so he is finished and was treated to some geraniums by my DD as her contribution towards lunch but so far have only managed to get one potted because of the weather being so bad. I was so cold yesterday I ended up with a hot water bottle all day.
I hope everything is going okay for everyone
Have a great evening everyone.....I'm off to avoid the doughnuts:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

allydowd

Not buying food on the train I'm on right now.

Good luck avoiding the doughnuts HK :rotfl: Glad your wheelchair issue is being sorted out

Still not feeling great, but have managed to do some bits today:
Strawberries from hanging baskets for breakfast
Voted!
Dog walks x 2 (we still have DS's massive mutt, and he now tells us he won't be back till Saturday (should have been today)
Stripped off spare bed and washed bedding
Got micro [STRIKE]mop[/STRIKE] mutt to the groomer's - clean and short haired now, for 5 minutes
Had an hour to wait, and needed more meds, so went to Mr S, bought what I needed and treated myself to a coffee and a sandwich in the cafe while waiting - not really MS, but it was a 1pm appointment and wasn't worth driving home only to have to turn round and drive straight back to collect him :cool:
Went to sales unit and changed stock over
Made macaroni cheese for dinner, as I can only eat quite bland things atm and really wanted it And it is cheap (and I already had what was needed)
Did a bit in the garden, watered some things that the rain hasn't got to, picked the sugar snaps, picked some lettuce, radishes and strawberries, planted out the rest of the geraniums from the huge and bargainous £3 pack I bought at Morries a couple of weeks ago, planted a new coriander to replace the one that had gone to seed (YS supermarket pot)
A few onepoll surveys
Froze some stale-ish bread I didn't feel like dealing with atm
Now got to help OH to claim his state pension online for September as per the letter he received this morning

Evening all.

Today has been a BAD day for me money wise. DS had eaten my lunch during the night so I had to buy lunch and I was mega busy around lunch time so just ran to pr@t where I spent a whopping £8 on lunch :eek: This included a hot chocolate as well as I kind of figured in for a penny, in for, well, 8 pounds :mad:

I worked a bit late as well so missed the YS run and ended up spending another £10 just on things I fancied because I'm feeling sorry for myself.

I've checked my bank account and I am over my overdraft limit so have moved some money from my number 2 account (meaning that is now overdrawn too.) While I was working late I missed a message from the bloke who wants to buy my guitar who wanted to come round tonight :mad: I have his number now so will text him to try to get him round tomorrow as I really, really need the money now.

I have listed a thing I bought at work on eBay at a price considerably cheaper than the competition so fingers crossed it sells quickly.

At the weekend I will photograph my M&S armchair and get that up on FB and hope that sells.

Morning all :hello:

Hope you're feeling better dawn

FVD I notice you say that quite often your son eats your lunch during the night. Can't you say to him 'anything on X shelf in fridge is out of bounds' and always put your lunch in the same place. Just a thought to save you from pr3t :eek:

List for today:
Wrap and post and other small flea bay sale, something random I found whilst clearing out garage a few weeks ago that I've not used for about 5 years
Breakfast overnight oats and fruit from the market yesterday
Lunch I'll get on expenses and I'm going out for dinner tonight with some friends. Won't be extravagant though or affect budget as it's planned
Hot drink for commute
Something out of freezer for smalls and DH tea
Check surveys, banking and for
DH pay day so updated master spreadsheet account looks much healthier now
Quick fly lady of the bathroom to keep on top of things

Think that's about all for now, have a good day folks.
