Morning all
Ally, maybe it is time to look for a new job? Perhaps they need to find out that if they treat capable employees like carp, they become ex employees and all that are left are the less capable ones :mad:

The thought had occurred to me. Plan A is to give this move a shot and then see how I feel.

Hi Saturday Savers,
City centre trip today. We are equidistant between 2 cities & chose the bigger one today.
*Used free coffee & cake vouchers to treat ourselves in John Lewis.
*Bought an own label foot product instead of branded, which saved £4.
*The blind we were hoping to buy was not only in stock, it cost £8 less than I thought. Used some of this saving to buy a new kitchen timer as my old one has well & truly carked it! I've had to re-write all the numbers heaps of times with freezer pen, it no longer dings & now the very phallic-looking decorative green plastic cactus has toppled off the top. Time for a new one!
*2 for 1 on an item I needed to buy - nice surprise.
*My favourite magazine was on sale - spring edition - used my personal spends money so budget-neutral.
*Free latte for mr f from Waitrose.
*No spend evening.catching up on a box-set & watching a film which has now become free to view on 'Prime'.
*Saw a rather lovely Biba tunic in House of Fraser. Just right with black leggings & platform sandals. Luckily for the budget, the patterny bits were in red, blue & gold, none of which I wear.
*Updated my DFW Diary.
*Ziffit address label arrived in post so can now progress sending.parcel & getting paid. For some bizarre reason, our printer decided it is no longer interested in printing these from the website.
Ok, that's my lot,
F x

Oh, thanks for that, Ally. Exactly the same thing has happened with my online banking. I was suddenly absolutely unable to print off an up to date list of transactions. I will try what you suggest & see if the printer goblin plays ball.
Cheers, f

Or you could have an item stuck in the printer queue. That is, an item is waiting to be printed but hasn't gone and is holding everything up.

On many Windows PCs you can clear this by going to Control Panel and then into Printers and right clicking on the icon of your printer. Then click See What's Printing, then File, then Cancel All Documents.

OK, so if it's HSBC can you not withdraw through the Post Office? You can with most High St Bank Accounts (Link) (Another Link)

Thanks - we dont currently have a post office either its closed and were waiting to hear if it will reopen - Its not so much the withdrawls its more the fact I cant pay the credit card or transfer money to cover the direct debits for bills which which are going out of the other account

Hi all

Fairly nice chilled out day here - mostly due to necessity as i have yet another stinking cold and feel rough. Still, not a totally wasted day

:A portioned up pulled pork from yesterday - got a good few portions so had one for tea and froze rest.
:A no heating on
:A encouraged eldest small to play outside instead of being glued to his PS4 using my electric.
:A sorted out more stuff for selling site.
:A sold a couple of items and been picked up already so another £10 for the treat pot.
:A breakfast and lunch from stores
:A done some surveys
:A checked my bank and had £13 of savings interest so transferred that to debt jar.
:A received a load of free nappies to test and review also loads of vouchers against future purchases
:A sorted home insurance got if £ 40 cheaper than renewal quote and possibly £8 cashback to come on top.

Think thats it - going to collapse ito bed now

Hi April Awesomees,

A lovely day off.


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.

* Clean awkward-to-access kitchen windowsill area before it gets worse and becomes a huge job. Didn't do this yesterday as the mould cleanup took too long.

* Still seeking out a cheap corded speaker to use with secondhand portable DAB radio I purchased.

* Take up a pair of new (charity shop bought) jeans. DW bought them a year ago. They didn't fit so she left them in the wardrobe. Gave them to me to try on 8 months ago; I didn't; I left them draped over a chair for 2 month. Then we became emboiled in moving house in a hurry...so..Yesterday DW tries them on again. They still don't fit. So I try them on and they fit but are too long. Really need to close this saga now by taking them up and wearing them.

* Audited toiletries. I reckon we have about a year's worth. Begged DW not to buy any more!

* Go to a Country Park. Explore ruins and watch birds. Photogra-faff.....of course. Take a flask of coffee with us.
