Hi everyone lovely to see some not-so-regulars-anymore posting

Argh I'm in job application hell. I hate it so much! Am at the point where I just need to write the bit about why I'm applying. Big yawns! Oh is keeping madam busy. Will do another hour or so and then have a break...

Last day of hols for madam need to get bags, clothes etc ready for tomorrow.... Will make oh a lunch to keep him happy as well

Think oh is going to take madam out for a bit to give me some peace for the application - how far can I string this out???? :rotfl: something free for sure

dinner will be a mix of unusual concoctions to use up things in the freezer (oh threatening divorce at this point :rotfl:) and veg from lottie

Morning everyone
CCL how I would have loved a PJ day yesterday. Everything going okay and I'm in Marks with DD when i suddenly felt really unwell. No wonder i felt grumpy and tired yesterday, I'm pretty certain I had food poisoning. Went to the relatives and although felt okay, wasn't feeling 100% but after collapsing into bed at 5pm by 5.30pm I was so sick that it was touch or go whether it was a hospital job. Couldn't even keep fluids down and my autoimmune reactions were causing my throat to swell with with stomach acid.
Feel so washed out today but so much more normal......if that makes sense.

U always make me smile when you say that the boys have gone to watch Sunderland lose again. I'm not a football fan, it's just the way you say it. You sound a lot better, more happier.

Couldn't even remember what we had bought in marks, had a look at the receipt this morning, all stuff I needed not wanted, including the roulades we had decided on for Christmas day (with a £2 saving). Couldn't even remember buying them, had to check the freezer this morning and worked out the same price as buying from Tesc@s, Sainsbugs etc. Will stay stored here as the one my mum bought last year suddenly disappeared with DM thinking we had forgot that she had bought one!

Plans for today......not a lot!!!!
DD travelling back to uni later so will go up to bed early and rest up. She is going to do a couple of bits for me before she leaves including dropping bits at DM that she wanted from Marks yesterday.
Want to balance up my spends book as never got chance yesterday.
Will catch up on some emails if I feel like it, if not....they can wait until tomorrow.
Have a good day everyone x

HK - take it easy today! Yesterday sounds pretty grim!


DNMS - yep, I think that there wouldn't really be anything in it unless it really took off. I need to decide if it's worth investing time into. I also was thinking about a crochet one.

Good morning:j
I didn't post yesterday but had a very lovely (and very cheap) day:D
Here goes, MSE-ness for the weekend so far:
Met Mum, stepdad and niece for lunch - Mum paid
Was a tourist in my own town as niece wanted to viisit the abbey - Mum paid entry, I bought niece and I a bookmark each (£4 spend)
Parked out of town and walked, so free parking and a lovely Autumn walk for me
Mum bought me some Liz Earle facial cleanser that I love (and can't afford any more;))
Used Mcdonald's token things to claim a free cappuccino while I waited for them to arrive in town
cheap meal at home last night - fishfinger rolls:D
no heating on all day

Then when I got home my lovely friend texted me and said as a random act of kindness she wants to pay for me to go for a local meal with other friends tomorrow - I'd dropped out due to lack of funds....how kind is that?! Made my evening:D

Today - just need to trot to Lidl with my list, minimal spends. Then tidy up and get ready for back to work tomorrow...term 2 here we come:rotfl: Going to bake some Twinks' hobnobs to take to work...especially for said kind friend!

Morning all OH has taken LO out to his parents for a few hours so I have the house to myself for an hour or so! Bliss!

LO was up at 5am this morning due to the clocks changing, I knew it would be early but I wasn't prepared for this early!

Think we are taking LO to a soft play area this afternoon as the weather isn't very good, entry to that and a drink each will be our only spends today

Other than that I will:

- Check bank accounts
- Do food shop for delivery tomorrow - Done
- Check Ebay sales
- Find other things to list on Ebay/FB selling page
- Quick tidy of house
- All meals from home

Have a good Sunday all x

Evening all!

CLF, I think crochet is a far better move, it is so hard to 'monetise' stuff online but you should drop some kind of press release to the yarn companies and hopefully they will send you free yarn to review

It was my turn for a bleugh day today, I woke with a headache and have spent all day in bed. I only got up to go to the shop and the post box and dinner was a multipack of crisps (yes, all of them) and two chocolate eclairs #dontjudgeme

Sales seem to be happening on Amazon, my totals seem to have gone down by more than they say have sold so I can only assume that some are in people's baskets but not yet paid for unless they have managed to lose them (again.)

I worked the late shift last night so had more dismantling of machinery to do and with my boss this time :eek: Purps, I miss getting the discount in time for Christmas by one day apparently :mad: I'm hoping it will be in force for the reductions right afterwards!

I've had some small sales on eBay and I have three others with bids/interested buyers which is all good.

I've done a partial water change on the fish and noticed some tiny worms swimming in the water, I've looked it up and apparently they are harmless and not parasitic and the remedy is to not feed the fish for a couple of days so they eat them :eek: or drop in a bit of courgette on a piece of string then take it out once they start feeding on it. Just when I thought I'd seen the last of courgettes...

Evening all! Thought I'd best check in after being MIA for some time again (I'm rubbish at this!)
Very DFW day today - we've done homemade Halloween decorations with the little ones! I also managed to hang the washing out whilst it stayed dry. It's seemed so long with the extra hour today - the kid obviously didn't get the memo to stay in bed.
Everything is a bit hectic at the minute. We have a moving date of November 28th, but I'm already nearly packed! :eek: Honestly - we'll be eating off paper plates for weeks :rotfl:

Evening all
Lazy day today, all that messing about changing clocks makes for a strange day!
Small things:
Dog walk, free exercise
Only non business spend today was 50p for a book from the car boot sale
Made a batch of scones, a pie for dinner, and a few mince pies with the pastry scraps
Harvested basil, which was not at all happy with the cold weather, and made a batch of pesto. Used up some parmesan that has been lurking in the fridge for ages
Washed out empty handwash bottle for bath bubbles

Anyone else watch the Blue Planet on TV? Amazing!
