I would like to return some library loans, drop off some donations for the food bank, drop off some other charity donations, go swimming as a family and children go to weekly uniformed organisation meet, but none of that may happen we might end up staying in all day enjoying the warmth of the stove.
Return some library loans, drop off some donations for the food bank, drop off some other charity donations will all be rolling over to another day.
We managed to go swimming and meet up with 4 other HE families
the children also made it to their evening meet. We had half an hour from leaving swimming to the start of their evening meeting, it is only a 5 minute drive so the children ate there packed tea in the car and me & OH popped into Lidl which was en route to do the weeks shopping £30.54 :j which included duck for tomorrow. It felt like a good use of our time as we wouldn't have had time to go home in between instead and saves me having to go shopping at some other point. Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Thank you all for the well wishes. Gosh, I’ve never realised how much I use my ankle :rotfl: I’m going to work from home for the rest of the week and I’ll see where we go from there.
I’m going to take foxgloves wise words from yesterday about if your day isn’t going well forget it, get biscuits and put your feet up
My money saving efforts are going to be limited over the next few days I fear but here goes:
Check banking
Check surveys
Put some money spent on holiday back in the right places
Meals from stores
Washing on radiators
Try not to have heating on too much in the day, use extra cardigan and blanket instead
Do an online shopping order, will go for cheap delivery slot, see if I have any vouchers to use too
Dawn hope things work out with the accommodation for your DB.
I’ll check back later. Purps.0 -
Purps look after yourself. Sounds painful and nasty
DNMS I bet you will feel knackered for a couple of weeks until you get into a routine and schedule. Make sure u do rest up and are kind to urself.
Moneysaving things today,
-banking checked. everything good but still waiting for a payment to go out
-eat out of the freezer
-just about to sort out cat cleaning.
-cats arent eating so much at the minute, so will cut portions down for a couple of days until we get a balance again. Always happens when they stuff themselves if they have treats
-off to the post office to return dress and RM survey item to post
-have found 3 items that I'm going to put on ebay tonight. Will sort and ship more items out of this house this year.Feels good doing it despite snail pace

Hi February Fabulistas,
Another snowy day. :snow_grin Had a few "challenges" this morning.
Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Three:
* Good, homemade, sustaining breakfast.
* Work very hard on my own mental health issues. Did App.
* Checked online banking and broadband usage.
* Turned off alarm clock until tonight, it resets itself automatically.
* Challenge Number 1: Took car to get bonnet repaired. They can't get the spare part until Monday at which point I'll be £180 quid lighter.
* Challenge Number 2: Called HMRC regarding Self-Assessment. Much aggro. Not going to re-tell the whole saga as it won't achieve anything.
* Decided to steady my nerves with a swim and sauna. Had a long shower afterwards at the pool. Now I'm putting my feet up.
* Changed Wifi password for added security as we live in town.
To live without risk is to risk not living.Debt-free day: 8th May 2015 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama0 -

Afternoon folks
A late check in from me. I'm sooo tired today! Still not up to full gym prowess. Two days in a row and I'm done in!
Today's mission:- B/L from stores. Should be D as well but I kinda fancy a cheap tea out/early Valentine's thing (OH works on weds)
- Charge phone in work
- Heating off when we aren't in
- Little bit of crochet
- OH to do housework
- OH to ring new accountant and organise a meeting
- Gym at lunch time. Dying.
- Learning python coding with free online resources. Found a really good interactive website. If coding is something that you find interesting or useful, I would recommend it. I also approve strongly of this site as all the code is full of Monty Python jokes

The rest of the week I am not sure
Half term so have DD at home, maybe some play dates the weather is bad.
