Grateful for:
Getting a free lunch in school.
Went to bingo. Won more than I spent so a free night.
Reading my book.
Having a chilled out and enjoyable evening.

Another spendy day but a low amount as some items out of stock as have an offer associated.
Didn't achieve all that was on my list so will be done another time.

The last of DD birthday presents came today ( eb@y, less then 50%of RRP and will sell well later).

Also DH decided against going for a pint without me having to point out the obvious (shortage of cash), and he voluntarily did the dishes again (twice this week) and complimented my cooking. There might be hope....

Have three crochet projects going, need to pick them up again. Not tonight though.

More tomorrow

Hi all :j

Late tonight so will keep this fairly brief.. went & stocked up on dog food, plus fish oil. Sadly the pet shop will be closing as they are knocking down the row of shops. He will run the business from his home, so I will be able to order online. Then off for a lunch out at the garden centre, plus some plants from the bargain corner, then spotted some bags of grey stones for mulching, at only £2 a bag, ideal for my borders. Bought all they had but they weighed an awful lot, still we got them back home without incident.

Got some more of the clearing done, got a grumpy DH to move the furniture. Now on to the bathroom, all cupboards need a clear out.

On a sad note, I will be doing more of the garden as the chap who normally does it, is very ill & apparently has only 2 months to live




· For the striders: still 9/18 NSDs

· Set your budgets before the challenge starts - did a fair few spends, need to update spread sheet. still ongoing.

· Be generous ; will do

· Note down Certainly need to do this, in order to get a handle on spending. Have noted down spends & will update. Have all receipts need to log .

· As ever, will do

· Pay towards your debt first! Do not have debt now but have been there before so am very wary. Do have a CC paid off in full every month. Will make a payment on cc today. tried to make payment but lots of error messages, double tomorrow.

· Plan. Will make list of places to go - need to have it in reserve for impromptu trips out. Still A WIP, but found another to add to the list. DH suggested another day out.

Check in every day. Will do from now on

The last few days have been NSDs taking me up to 9 for the month . Today won't be a NSD as I'm off to the cinema after work.

Let's try this again shall we?

Scientist day at school so I have made name badges, commandeered two old long sleeved white shirts from DS1 and they are pretend lab coats +pencils in the top pockets + Mad hair. = SCIENCE

Good free entertainment - stripping wallpaper (joy!)
Buying boat trip (5% cashback + 20% off code + £25 loyalty points off) to do 70's tour of Ireland (all relatives are now over 70 - rather than a Bee Gees/ Elton John / Abba themed excursion).

Pantry inventory / Menu plan / shopping list and shopping also on the list for today, plus DS4 has lost his shoes AGAIN!!

So it will not be a NSD and I am STILL stuck on NSD 9

Will get it all out of the way today and get some over the weekend.

Keep warm and happy, turtles

Scientist day here too. Dd is going as Marie Curie. Total cost of £4 (dressandnecklace) but she has mostly sourced the costume bits herself from what she has.

I don't have mad hair (well most days :rotfl:) and don't keep my pencils in my chest pocket Used to do that but then could never find any pens on my bench or desk.

No NSD today as we'll pick up Asd@. Lunch to work and gym again. Hopefully will get some crocheting done tonight.

The weather is horrendous and forecast to stay all weekend so I guess we won't get our door fitter in again

One is labelled Einstein and one as Newton. Einstein has E=MC2 written on his hand, the other has GRAVITY? and an arrow pointing downwards.

They have pleaded with me not to get their hair cut until all snow is passed. They hate cold ears and necks, so it is getting rather long and crazy looking all the time, school bans 'hairstyles' so this is the only day they don't look scruffy as they have hightop moussed to stiff peak fantastic mad scientist hair. I would have them go to school lilke it every day, but Mrs Head teacher has a stick up her bum about 'product'. (unless it is slicked down like Hitler. Then it is ok )

I hope they spend the day lobbing tin cans off the roof :T, I fear it will not be that much fun:(.

Hi not a lot to report.

Gained a NSD yesterday grand total now is 7/18.

Needed bread and few bits today spent £10.06.:)

Sun is out after awful rain this morning so going to get some walking done after work.

Not as stressed out now, cleaned to my hands are sore yesterday. Hate my house being upside down. Just need to fit a new bath panel later or maybe in the am, it's Friday may have a night off housework.

Plodding along with debts, slowly, slowly this month.:o

Supplies in, bring on the fluffy stuff:rotfl:
