Evening all
Feeling more human at last, so got some bits done today:
Not spent anything
Walked to post office with ebay parcels (the buyers had paid for the postage, so I am still claiming a NSD), free exercise that I haven't felt like for what seems like ages! It is a couple of miles there and back, so worth it, especially as the traffic in town was at a standstill today for some reason!
Dropped off a carrier bag of books and other items to the CS
Load of washing dried outside, as it was a nice day
Got rid of a pile of carp from under the coffee table, mostly recycled paper
Froze the apple I stewed yesterday, in small tubs
Finished off the HG carrots for dinner
Dog walk, just to the little park near us where he likes to charge around
Checked banks
Did a couple of surveys, will check again shortly

Thanks for your post BB, luckily its just forgetfulness with him. I wish they had lockers in school as he has so much to carry around.
I hope that you and yours are all doing and that your sister & family are sorted after the fire.

Thank you so much for remembering my Sister's fire. They are finally living in long term accommodation but work on the house is moving very very slowly a number of the delays are due to the lost adjustor not doing their job :mad:

Morning Wet and drizzling day here - but we're going to make the most of it! We didn't go to Quex Park yesterday as madam wanted to go to the park so we did that then went for a walk in the woods collecting chestnuts So Quex is the plan for today, wrapping up warm and then going to the seaside for an ice cream done
shared red velvet cake instead

[STRIKE]madam wants to make more salt dough things....[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]Running a bath and madam can have my water [/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]All meals from stores[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]fold[/STRIKE] & put away washing

continue knitting and listening to audio book. It has taken me months to get into listening to audio. I really had to persevere to be able to listen and absorb the info rather than my mind going off in different tangents. I'm glad I stuck with it I might even finish my sock today :T
[STRIKE]
keep an eye on onepoll[/STRIKE] - it's so soul destroying but I'm over £20 so not giving up!

list some things on fleabay

feed the worms - Foxgloves have you started slowing down yet?

That'll do for now!

Morning all :hello:

I'm working from home today, so hoping to get a couple of extra jobs done too as well as lots of work:

Check banking, surveys and FPL
Chicken out of freezer to make yellow Chinese curry with (must remember paste is strong ) Will add some frozen green beans I had for ages to pad it out
One load of washing outside, another to go out shortly
Resisted buying coffee and cake in local lovely shop when I went in to pay a deposit for something :A
Came home, made tea and got a ys croissant out of freezer :A
friend paid me yesterday for some work I did, £65 profit. Have the cash in my purse but will move some virtual pots so I can make sure the profit ends up split savings/debt repayment.
walk with friend tonight
Not buy overpriced halloween (which I feel is an overrated consumer driven, borrowed from our across the pond cousins, 'thing') costumes for school disco for 2 x smalls. They can go on in one of their nice dresses instead (this might seem really mean, but fancy dress is optional )
Post partnership return
Do tax return now ^^ is finalised
Call sparky

Right, must get on and not be distracted by t'interweb

Happy_Kitties

Usual things for me, banking checked, cat cleaning all done, have to go and do some shopping and will do a RM survey item at the same time.
Quite agree with you purps about Halloween. DD had a second hand cat costume that she used until she grew out of it and then couldn't be bothered. Im not a big fan of halloween and thankfully DD was too lazy to go trick or treating!!
Paperwork to do later.......i will do It!
Have a great day everyone x

Fully agree re hallowe'en, just been to town and the shops are full of plastic tat that will be in landfill a week from now

Up late this morning due to lack of sleep Struggling health wise a bit at the moment. Anyway, small things for today:

Walked to hairdresser's rather than drove, free exercise plus fuel saving
Paid for hair (£22) and bought nothing else
Easy meal tonight (precooked from freezer) as I am babysitting tonight and have to be out by 6 :eek: Don't mind babysitting but would prefer time to sort dinner etc properly first. Still, it doesn't happen often, and I will get a cuddle with my grand daughter
Work on shopping list for the weekend - running out of lots of staples, so need to check what is needed to avoid endless top up shops
Ring hospital re clinical trial now my cold is on the way out
Check banks, OH should have received his first state pension payment today
Check for surveys - just one for onepoll so far, bound to be more later
Log into OH's HMRC record online, as he received an ambiguous letter a few days ago and I want to check I haven't missed anything :eek:
Do some cleaning / tidying, plenty to choose from :rotfl:

Hi Thursday Savers,
Not the most awesome of lists today, mostly because of meetings at each end of the day, so only the middle bit in which to progress anything. Anyway, apart from buying myself a Mars bar because for some reason I fancied one for the first time in about 6 years, I've pretty much kept the MSE faith:
*Managed to get street parking for Meeting 1, which saved £2.60 car park fees. Will park on the outskirts of town for tonight's meeting & walk in, which will save another £1.60.
*Free cup of coffee gratefully received.
*Two packs of lovely local farm bacon from Co-op - YS. £1.60 per pack. Pleased with those as the farm produces high quality meat & there are lots of rashers to a pack, which usually cost well over £3. Have frozen for next time we're moaning that we fancy a bacon cob & there's none in the house!
*Pasta bake for tonight's meal. I made an extra one last time I batch-cooked. Knew it would come in useful, mr f on bus today so will be later & I have twilight meeting, so this is exactly the sort of occasion that pre-LBM would have driven us straight into the arms of the nearest take-away. Not tonight. Pasta bake primed & ready to go!
*Sort out address book - didn't get it done yesterday.
*Make a start on shopping list now that meal plans for those fee 'spare' days pre-holiday have been done.
*No heating on. perfectly happy to switch it on as soon as we start feeling cold enough, but at the moment, we are fine.
*Try to finish my sock. Not far to knit till I get to the toes now, & from then on, it's super-speedy.
*Make tomorrow's packed lunch.
*Make a start on my Friday house clean - I have lots of other stuff to do tomorrow, including baking something to take to Mum's & it's also my Big Budget Day, so anything I can strike off the list today will be a bonus.
*Mr f busy researching price of new DMs online. The best deal he's found so far is just somewhere offering 10% off first order, so that's a possibility. They are rarely on offer. People always want them & they hold their value. To be fair (we both love them), he gets a lot of wear out of each pair, I can't think any other brand would be better, so I've told him to shop around, but just to go for it.
OK, must go & rev the Dyson up.
Love to all,
F x

Hello all! Oh gosh, such a long time since I've posted here, so much has been going on. My little boy will be 1 next month, I'm currently unemployed now as my employer wasn't being flexible enough with my working arrangements. I'm penny pinching, literally everywhere! With LO birthday next month and then Christmas. I've managed to get my little boy a few presents but we are not going crazy, he wont remember it or know whats going on, I'm sure the other family members will spoil him rotten anyway!

Today I've saved a bit of money but taking up an offer, open a new quidco account, spend £10+ on pampers nappies at superdrug and get £10 back, the nappies are on offer at the moment so I managed to get 3 packs and after there beauty card baby discount and the money back from quidco, I paid 75p for 3 packs of nappies. I also got free delivery as a beauty card member, happy day!

Anyways today I have/will:

- Quick tidy whilst LO naps - Done
- Meet Mum on a local shopping street, browse charity shops - Done, spent £2
- Check banking
- List LO clothes on Ebay
- All meals from home

I hope all the regulars are ok and any new people I don't know - hello! x

Evening:)
A later post for me today, so more of a ta-dah list than a to-do:rotfl:
Here goes:
* checked swagbucks, must do onepoll
* heating is firmly off...in fact, I, thinking of opening the back door, it’s boiling in here;)
* YS strawberries bought so made a big strawberry sponge for girls’ pudding tonight and also a banana loaf to use up manky ‘nanas
* spag Bol is cooking, will pop a garlic bread that dd2 bought the other day in too
* walked to the shops to post an eBay sale and pick up prescription
* ordered lots of my current prescriptions as I don’t think I qualify for the tax credit exemption card from the 1st of November:(
* finished up my hm soup for a late lunch

That looks like all.
Hello again Katy-Ann�� hope everyone has had a great Thursday!
