Baileys Babe:

DNMS Thank you for starting this weeks thread.

I didn't receive yesterday's posts by email this morning. I thought it must be something I'd done. Came online and it has disappearedI have no idea what everyone was up to yesterday, but I hope you are all safe and well.

We are all out of sorts, but we need to get back into some sort of routine.

Today we will:
*Take metre readings and submit
*Children & I are going swimming (meeting up with other HE families) - paid for in advance, the group also managed to get a discount by buying the tickets as a bigger group
*NSD
*Rmsurvey
*FPL
*Turn off lights and appliances not in use
*Make a batch of porridge
*B/L/D from stores
*Start a shopping list
*Update spends spread sheet

Hopefully more will be added.

Happy Kitties:

I bet you feel good for doing that cycling trip Ally it sounded so good
Thank you to DNMS for starting off the thread despite the confusing things going on
Baileys Babe hopefully it won't be too long before you are back in a routine, there is nothing worse than when u r all over the place.

Back from weekend away. Lots of networking and minimal spends. Saw DD over the weekend. Shoulder sore as sleeping in other beds that are not adapted for me is difficult.

One bed was a queensize and it was a room I got at a discounted rate. Had to put pillows to protect me from shifting into the middle otherwise I would still be stranded now.

*Had a productive morning, hospital appointment done, posted RM survey items and an ebay item I sold has been posted using RM stamps for postage
*Pleased that another ebay item has sold today. Don't do ebay alot.
*2 dresses to return to Debenh@ms, tried on one was way too big. that will be £80 to go back into my account.
*Pulled out a meal from the freezer that used up the last of the Christmas meat. Will have that with bits that need using up from the fridge.
*Have had heating off and windows open as the house was getting so stuffy
*Picked up big 360g toblerones, crispy coconut ones down from £4 to 75p. Have a good date on them. Have put some away for DD and a couple for presents or in case I have a chocolate emergency(doesn't often happen but when it does I go into locust form)
*Caught up on some paperwork.
*Budget book all up to date
*Going to do a radiator shuffle in a bit and run the hoover over quickly then that's me done for the day

Have a great afternoon everyone x

I'm amused that after all these years of hoping I might be able to fly, read minds, or move things by telekinesis... it turns out that my super power is copy+paste :rotfl:

Hi January Joy-Seekers,

Had quite a busy morning:

Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Three:

* Checked online banking.

* Keeping an eye on Broadband Allowance.

* Drove to nearby town to collect cut-price walking boots ordered last week. Hate said nearby town. Manky. :eek: While there dropped into storage unit and stored away Decemberfest decorations (mainly homemade).

* Collected £5 free gift voucher. Spent voucher on socks to go in DW's birthday box.

* Bought a cut price "Christmas" selection box of chocolates. Removed outer packaging. Added to DW's birthday box.

* Library trip. Exchanged books. Downloaded three tv shows to my laptop and three podcasts to my mobile phone.

* Having leftover Sunday lunch chicken with mashed potato for lunch.

Onwards and upwards.
