    So today has been a perfectly lazy PJ day :D I had a lie-in until about 11, then I've booked for a Sky engineer to come out as I'm fed up with it never working properly. I've also done a stocktake of all my cards, I need to type it up into a spreadsheet but wow, I have tonnes and tonnes of stock :o There has just been a new range released and some of the cards are absolutely lovely, but I really can't be buying more at the minute, I need to put some work in to it now that Xmas is over. First steps though are to organise what I have, type up the stock list, then contact the care homes that I have been given contact details for and see if I can get some baskets of stock in them.

    After that I then have done a couple of small matched bets (see previous posts) and have just done the ironing so that it doesn't build up again.

    Tonight I'm going to enjoy the football and write a meal plan for the week ahead. In the morning I am going to go food shopping and also return an item that wasn't needed at Xmas (£5).

    Morning, wow it's a cold one out there today. I've been shopping, I returned the item so that's £5 back to me, and then I went to Tesco and spent £38 which should keep us going, with using stuff up in the freezer. I also spent £7 in Poundland, they had xmas tubes of smarties / jelly tots for 50p, I also stocked up on the Dolmio stir-in pasta sauces, they were 50p in there and £1.65 in Tesco :eek: I do like them with a bit of bacon. mushrooms and peppers added in.

    So, £45 spends, £1 for the car park, £5 back, not too bad.

    The heating has gone on for a bit as it's freezing cold. Today I want to crack on planning ahead with my cards, I might potter and do a few other bits indoors, I don't want to be spending any more today really. I may go out later and do some job spotting too.

    So this morning I planned to have a lovely lie-in then a chilled day ... until I was woken up by the sound of the dustbin lorry and I remembered I haven't put the rubbish out, so 0-60 in 0.0003 seconds, dressing gown on, down the stairs, out in the cold and rubbish is now safely in the van.

    Hmm, lets see if the rest of the day is a bit more chilled :rotfl::rotfl:
