    Wow, lots of bugs and germs going round at the moment, hope all the poorly peeps start to feel better soon. Not a fabulous day but also managed

    a couple of niggly jobs off my annoying things list
    collected library books
    arranged for plasterer to call tomorrow for a quote

    refilled soap dispenser with bubble bath (from stores) - last week I emptied the cupboard on our landing so that hubby could freshen it all up with a coat of paint and I discovered just how much of a toiletry stash we have :eek: - 3 bottles of shampoo that we can't use have gone in homeless collection box (shampoos were an offer at boots for free ages ago) - we are NOT buying anymore :o

    Won a competition and there was nothing on the website that DH or DS liked or wanted so I've used the money to buy 20 pairs of socks for the homeless shelter

    Night all x

    Now need to wash up the things that don't go in the dishwasher, and find some fleece to keep the pigeons off the little cherry tree - they shred the leaves at the top :mad: and will probably eat the cherries if they get the chance!


    Sure my DW hasn't been round? She ate a whole punnet of cherries the other day. :rotfl:

    Hi June-Penny-Jugglers,

    Mornin'. Early to bed, early to rise...today I'm going for a coffee with an ex-colleague who also has the old mind-issue. I never socialise in person, so this is a huge deal for me. Friend insisted on paying.

    Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Four:

    THINGS I WILL DO:

    * Check online banking. Done.

    * Take medication. Done.

    * Turn alarm clock off at the wall til tonight. Done.

    * Lunch will be seafood found at bottom of freezer. Done.

    * Get some exercise. Done, walked along the blustery prom with DW.

    * Get physio DW to look at my ankle. It's an old injury that's annoying me. And my back which is hating me sitting down more than normal. Done.

    * Sort out lots of things for our holiday which is really soon. Namely:
    -Travel Money Done. Ended up being very complicated. Sigh. :(
    -Travel Insurance Done. Paid £24.07 for two of us, last year we paid £26.29.
    -Airport parking Done. Paid £36.74, last year we paid £38.18.

    * Backup finances spreadsheet in cyberspace. Done.

    THINGS I WILL DO TOMORROW:

    * Make quiche.



    To live without risk is to risk not living.

    Morning everyone

    Sending hugs to the poorlies, those struggling or anyone who just needs a hug at the minute.

    Have been in pain since Sundays sporting event-all self inflicted but thoroughly enjoyed it at the time. Have been waking up at 4.30am with arm spasms, pain clinic would kill me, promised I would go light on the sport:D
    More hospital this afternoon.....must get motivated
    DD BF has been staying over, very handy for clearing up the bits in the fridge and freezer as both are walking dustbins:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    All banking and spends book up to date.
    Minimal spends so far but must buy cat food today.
    Pleased at good habits by DD. No spends at sports event on Sunday as packed lunchboxes and a flask of tea were made by her. Uni has done her good, she is very much into hate food waste thinking and keeps her own spends book:T
    Having a nightmare selling an item on eBay for DD. First time selling, fraudulent winning bidder, second time despite stating UK only-winning bidder from Vietnam. Offered it out as a second chance-nothing, it's up again and one bidder has already retracted their bid. Just want to get the item out of the house now:(
    RM surveys to do today
    Off to do cat cleaning now...oh the joys:rotfl:
    Have a great day everyone x

    I've had reasonable success with Facebook marketplace - that might be better? Would be a local buyer probably?

    Morning all :)
    Not much sleep again, so modest list for today:

    Check banks and update spreadsheet (Done)

    Some paperwork for business (Done, printed stuff out on some of the reams of paper you get with RM surveys)
    Clear up kitchen Done

    All food from home, though I do need to start a shopping list!
    Make a big chicken curry with chicken I got out of the freezer last night - will make sure it lasts for 2 days and OH doesn't eat all of it! Done, used mangetout and spring onions from the garden :) Halfis now in a tupperware in the fridge for tomorrow :D
    Cover cherry treelet with fleece to stop the pigeons from shredding the leaves :mad: Done
    Water anything that needs it Done
    Might go to sales unit this morning, as OH is having the car all day tomorrow, off on some canoeing adventure with DD1 :eek: Done
    Persuaded OH to come for a decent walk after dinner - he has put on an alarming amount of weight since he hurt his back before Christmas, and hasn't got back into the habit of doing exercise. I am determined to sort this! Plus the dog will enjoy extra walks :)

    Redeemed £4 of Amazon vouchers from a survey site :)

    Just learned that our camper van will be back tomorrow :j so will need to pay the bill :eek:
    If I do anything else, it will be a bonus!

    Enjoying watching the sparrows diligently doing the rounds of the veg garden looking for caterpillars - free pest control :D
