Morning

I was able to get on yesterday due no access to the Internet, I'm blaming the snow.

Today the children both have sports training in a local city which is going to take about 5 hours out of our day.

Today's plan:
Wash hair and let it dry naturally
LSD only pay for training
RMsurvey
Take packed lunch, snacks and drinks with us
BLD from stores
Stick to meal plan
OH to work from home
Home Educate children
PAD
Arrange break down cover for both of us

I managed to get everything on yesterday's list done.

Rang to renew my breakdown cover and arrange OH. I was very pleased as it was only 20% :money: more for both than just buying mine. Also there is no additional cost for paying monthly, so that is what we are doing, I would rather the money was in my account not theirs.

This weekend is operation DD room. We are changing the layout, swapping the bed with our spare, hopefully decluttering, giving it a deep clean, repairing the wardrobe etc.

When we are not doing that I plan to:
RM survey
Home Educate children
BLD from stores
Set dw and wm to run overnight
PAD
Stick to meal plan
Check bank accounts
Transfer money to where it needs to go

Reminder to myself:
Buy tickets for nephew's show
Look for some where for extended to go for a celebratory meal, complicated by the fact I don't know Sheffield.

Hi March Money Magicians,

DW remains Plague-ridden and the washing machine is having a hard job keeping up with the laundry. Also needing to have the heating on to dry said laundry. At least I'm feeling ok now.


Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Three:

* Work very hard on my own mental health issues. Do Holistrio App.

* Check online banking and broadband usage.

* Turned off alarm clock until tonight, it resets itself automatically.

* Breakfast is a leftovers omelette.

* Made a sausage soup for dinner tonight after work. Thanks Smurf it's nearly the weekend.

Hi Saturday Savers,
So dull & rainy first thing, decided to treat ourselves to breakfast in town. Chose Waitrose Cafe so that our coffees would be free. Halos gleaming as paid from our personal spends, so zero effect on bank balance/budget.
*Grocery shopping at Aldi & Waitrose. Over budget by £11, but there will be some rollover of supplies into next week's meal plans so am not worried about overall monthly target.
*Stayed on outskirts of town so parked for free.
*Updated grocery budget, another budget & shifted a bit of cash between pots to keep everything accurate.
*Paid another 3 x 50ps into my sealed pot.
*Finished knitting socks last night....a free pair for mr f, as I used leftovers of 6 part balls of blue & 1 part ball of a nice self patterning sock yarns from my stash. Next project is finishing the thrift project I started last summer - a 'patchwork' throw for the sofa made from loads of tiny mitred squares knitted from leftover odds & ends of sock yarn. I'm going to fetch that project box down in a minute & see how far I've got with it.
*mr f is trying a new recipe tonight - Moroccan beef pie (from one of Waitrose's free weekend newspapers). It sounds tasty, is fairly low calorie & will make enough to freeze for another meal. It uses couscous as the basis for its crumble topping. I haven't done that before, but can see plenty of opportunities to top leftovers if it works out well.
*No downstairs heating on yet. Trying to hold out until a bit later. Really, we want our energy usage to start decreasing from March, don't we?
Ok, those are my only efforts today.

Evening all
Busy day!
Cleared camper van out ready for its checkover / service on Monday
Moved loads of stuff in OH's den so that we could get out a chest of drawers that he is giving DD
DD and her OH came round to help move furniture round, put chest of drawers in the back of our car (our car is bigger and there is no child seat in there at the moment). DD very pleased with lovely antique mahogany chest of drawers This one, alomg with some other old furniture, was cleared out of someone's barn (at their request, obviously) ages ago and restored by OH.
Moved a cupboard out of spare room to put OH's stuff in (after he had decluttered )
Moved a table from first floor landing up to spare bedroom and left a lovely clear space on the landing
It is all a bit of a mission due to a) heavy old furniture, and b) a 3 storey house with steep stairs :eek: Anyway, done now. OH had to move loads of stuff out of the way though, and it will all have to be put back.
I did a load of stocktaking for my business - two thirds of it done, I reckon
Made a veggie chilli and potato wedges for dinner
Just about to wash up, make coffee and get an early night!

Morning guys whoop I've made it to my final day of the week :j found out yesterday I get paid time & a 3rd for weekend work :beer: and was allowed to leave 30 mins early :cool:

I've been awake since 5am :eek: so have used the time to straighten everything out financially :money: all accounts now straight - such a relief to have that in order!

Also set goals for the next week, and gathered up my lunch/snacks for the day

I also hope to:

* hang up washing
* shower instead of bath
* get oh to do card for dd & call her to wish her happy mother's day
* also she has some homework
* oh & madam ended up eating at inlaws so yesterday's dinner will be had today
* wrap hair in towel to promote curls rather than dry
* cast on 2nd sock when I get in. In fact I could take it to work and do it in my lunch break...

That's it! Have a great Sunday x

Morning folks.... still catching up with the thread.

Sorry for being awol all weekend. I've been busy but up and down in myself. Had a fab day Thursday, but was very down again yesterday. Getting a bit fed up of these mood swings!

I don't even want to go into the garden centre spends... I may be ejected from the group :eek:

OH was very sweet about it though, he said that at the end of the day, I get a lot of enjoyment from the garden (true) so it's worth it (unsure whether this is true)

Hi March Money Magicians,

DW still has Plague so today I am charged with doing the planned top-up grocery shop. This is usually strictly the job of She Who Can't Stop Coughing. I have been suppled with a List and Instructions. I will be taking the Ferrari (aka the shopping trolley) and going the shop on foot.

Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Three:

* Work very hard on my own mental health issues. Do Holistrio App.

* Check online banking and broadband usage.

* Turned off alarm clock until tonight, it resets itself automatically.

* Coronation Chicken with jacket potato for lunch using forgotten about mango chutney.

Half price chicken for dinner
Make tomorrow’s packed lunches
Portion up bean casserole and freeze some
