    Just did the final quarterly gas and electricity meter read.

    There should be £187.81 in the account saved up and the bill should be £187.87.

    Morning all :hello:

    Congrats on the rise Carrie
    Hope you're feeling better determined
    Happy birthday for the weekend Foxgloves - sorry I forgot yesterday
    Ally hope you've 6p in your budget to balance the leccy bill :rotfl:

    Me today:
    Bolegnase I made at weekend in sc for everyone else's tea tonight
    DH and I have hm enchiladas for lunch and snacks packed
    Dd has wrap I made last night whilst making tea
    Forgot to put washing on last night, so hopefully quick wash will be done before work so I can peg out. Put another load away this morning. No ironing - my dream load :D another one I've just taken off airer that wasn't quite dry outside yesterday to go away later
    Quick tidy round before work
    Some Christmas stollen out of freezer as didn't make cake yesterday. Parents can have that for pudding instead
    Order DH some work shoes, used quidc0
    Check banking and surveys
    DH got paid late last night, skimmed potential tax off to savings and will skim some more off to a savings account that we can use for LPDF later in month.

    Think that's about it for now, have a good day folks.

    Morning all!
    Continued belated cake for Foxgloves :) :bdaycake:
    Feeling a bit better this morning - DNMS - I wonder if you've got the thing I've been fighting. Throat def not right.

    There is a long and horrific workout posted in the gym today. I hope I live :eek:

    I actually finished all my list yesterday and finished OH's socks. I'm really pleased with them. I def need some proper dpns for the toes though. I'm currently on small circulars, then switched very late to 2 dpns (knitting with a third) cos it's all I had. I think I'd prefer to switch to dpns at the start of the toe.

    Today's mission:
    • B/L/D from stores
    • Charge phone in work
    • More start of month money shuffling with OH
    • Work very hard - I have a lot to get through today
    • Gym at lunchtime
    • No going to cafe after work as we are having toad in the hole and so it take too long to cook afterwards.
    • OH to do housework
    • Wash vacuum filters
    • Bring washing in
    • No alcohol
    Have a good one all

    Hi May Money-savers,,

    Off for a walk along the shore soon. Hoping it'll settle my mind.


    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.


    * Play Scrabble online free. (Link) You have to watch a short advert video before each game.

    * Defrost batch-cooked homemade soup made from rubber chicken for lunch.

    * Go pay Council Tax at Doctor's Surgery...yes, I know that's random, but it's how things work.

    * Exchange books at library and use their free Wifi. DW wants to download some photogra-faff software.




    To live without risk is to risk not living.
