Put something in for dinner for kids so they can have it before I leave for work.
eBay .. List items (I've got loads!) check for non paid items and chase up.
Change all bed dings and try to get a few wash loads in.
Make some cakes for work and me bites cake for home if I get time.
Make PAD and check bank.

I'm sure there's more but it's making me tired thinking about it lol ...

Morning all!

I avoided ordering pizza last night and instead bought some chicken and chorizo skewers, they were full price but still saved me £17.

I fell asleep fully clothed last night but feel refreshed, I woke early, had a.bath and popped the the small Mr T before going to the station. I have topped up on cupasoups (for breakfasts) and have a posh YS sandwich for lunch (3.50 down to 35p!)

A mass of redundancies were announced at work yesterday, quite radical as it includes management.


DS had been invited to interview for the chef apprenticeship at the GC but didn't get the email, only the one cancelling as he hadn't replied :mad: He has requested to reschedule.

It's payday today, whoopee! Much jiggling of monies tonight as it should be a good one.

Have a great day all

I'm back!!
Just took a couple of days out of action, have to do this when pain levels go thru the roof. They always seem to be at their worst when you have good/dry days of weather when then rain is on the way. Pain clinic have advised at these times I need to hibernate and just focus on me but it was so difficult as I had so much paperwork to do. Real life has a habit of getting in the way.
Just about kept my head above water, and catching up on the paperwork that didn't get done.

Money saving wise have been good,didn't spend while out of action.
Banking all checked and even though I wasn't posting I kept reading and following the thread when I could.
When shopping with DD last night, had a voucher so stocked up on cat food and got a fair few YS bits. Bagged most of these up, now in the freezer, did a FVD picked up chicken and bacon salad sandwich for 20p that I am going to have for my lunch today.
Also picked up a reduced cherry pie for my mum-that will keep her happy.
Plan today, hopefully a NSD-i don't need anything.
A few bits to catch up on and keep tidying the house that really looked a state yesterday. Feel more in control again.
DNMS sorry to hear about the problems you've been having, unfortunately not uncommon. I remember year's ago being in a job, the boss was a right bully, really unhappy environment to work in. I was only young, took advise, was advised just to get out. Eventually one of the staff did take it to a tribunal, I had left by that point, the boss only wanted me to back her in the tribunal, said if anything I would also lodge a case against her. I didn't but the person who did, did come out with damages.
My problem was that I never did that as I was young, didn't know what to do in that situation and i didnt think anyone would back me as everyone was so scared. How i would do things ddifferently now.
Thinking of you DNMS never a good situation when you do feel that u have to look for a new job.
Have a good day everyone x

Somehow I forgot to post yesterday. Here are a few highlights:

• Went to the local library and borrowed books on my wish list for free, the children borrowed books and a microbit
• Only bought things on the list, spending the minimum to qualify for free parking
• Claimed a free cupcake
• We were given 6 x 130g of Philadelphia flip and dip for free

Today is still raining and I have no inclination to leave the house, in fact snuggling down with a hot chocolate, a blanket, and good film appeals, but instead, I will:
Turn off lights and appliances, not in use
Enjoy porridge
B/L/D from stores
NSD
Download free HE resources
Set DW & WM to run overnight
PAD
Educate children for free
Entertain us for free
Read Martin's email

Not the most exciting lists, hopefully, I will feel more motivated as the day goes on.

Purps Thanks for asking about my sister and family. Things are currently more settled, they are likely to be in the current accommodation until October which is making things easier. They are still attending a huge amount of meetings with regards sorting out their house post fire, they recently appointed an architect and are in the process of appointing other professionals. We are all working hard to get all the children to their various training, activities and social sessions as well as educating them.
