Talking of gluts, I was gifted 4 packs of feta .... shall I send one in the post determined :rotfl:

Other things:
Cashed out pr0lific as was over £20, will look for more today

Morning everyone

Well yesterday I ended up doing more than planned and suffered for it later. But I was happy with what I achieved so less to do today and tomorrow now.

Decided to pick up a parcel at B@@ts even though I still need to go to take an item back. Ended up spending money on some reduced items for the starving student ready for uni after some heavy hints were dropped Item taken back

While going past the c@rd F@ctory noticed they had a sale. Needed to pick a birthday card up for my mum and ended up saving 50p on each card I bought. They won't be lost, they are stored in my general card stash drawer. They also had bits on 3 for a £1 offers, got some bits for my Christmas appeal shoeboxes and to send to the charity for their tombola. Picked up some beautiful tea light holders on the same offer, should have been 99p each but were 3 for a £1. Might send 2 off to the charity and keep one, wish I had got more now as there weren't that many left.
did manage to get the last 5 tea light holders and some tea lights for £2. Was really chuffed as 3 of them will be for new living room
got the cat food bits, used my voucher so neutral spend there. Definitely no spending needed now, I've plenty in, the cats have plenty in.
Didn't have the energy to sort out the craft bits. Planning on doing that at the weekend now as I still need to do my month end in my spends book and a report.have started with spends book
Banking all checked this morning, everything good, d. debits going out nicely
Plan to do a bit more housework today still Planning!!
My mum has also sorted out more of DD/DN cuddly toys/beanie no longer needed that will be sent off to the charity with the bits picked up yesterday. Think my mum is very happy as she has wanted to sort these toys out for ages and we are slowly getting it done. Feel like I'm giving something back to charity. box packaged up and ready to send tomorrow

Managed to get one item onto eBay and it already has bids on it, very happy about that.

Right off to do a general cat clean.

Have a good day everyone x

Morning feeling sleepy! Planning to take a picnic and head out to the beach for the day - will pack up buckets & spades

washing out & have 1 more load on now meaning I've achieved the impossible - an empty basket :j that's 7 loads I've done over 3 days! done

sorted out 2 months receipts. Binned the ones no longer needed, filed the ones to keep and this cc month's receipts all organised into date order - phew! done

Going to look at a puppy at lunchtime - me and a friend/neighbour have decided to get a dog share :cool:

usual tidying/cleaning

making something with chicken thighs for tea

help madam choose 10 toys to get rid of! She has so many it's ridiculous. She has done this the last 2 days running fairly easily so hoping today will be the same

do reading/ a little homework with madam...

madam having pancakes for breakfast - I think she's getting a little to accustomed to the good life! done

Call about some free compost :T

call builder about quote to build a summer house in our garden - it's been a dream of ours for years so we can get a sauna and we're currently looking into weather that dream could be a reality!

eurgh! Need to clear out the larder as think we have mice again :eek: debating whether to get traps and poison rather than calling out someone. Seeing as it happens every couple of years it makes sense. But :eek::eek::eek::eek: the thought of it! done - no sign of mice at all but we definitely heard something in there last night, and oh did the day before. Really confusing! Any ideas?

Ok that's loads! Might strim the garden and sweep later....

Hope you all have a glorious day

Good Morning All

DNMS - Sounds like you have a great day planned

Really need to get this printer installed and various vouchers printed off - must do this before mum comes for tea or it will just mean a million random questions - sorry that sounds harsh but sometimes all these questions/phone calls wear me out Today's plans

Check Bank & PAD
Washing & line (can almost see the bottom DNMS) -
Install printer -
Sort hem on trousers -
Purge a few emails -
Swagbucks -
Enter a couple of comps -
All meals from cupboards/fridge/freezer -
Checked: Tombola Stars, Lucky Bob, FPL, WinaDinner -

Have a great day all x

Evening all
Managed a few things today:
OH wanted to go to another local town which has a good market. I didn't actually need anything from the market, so didn't buy anything
Popped into the weekly flea market while in town, and spent £4 on some toy cars for the grandchildren to play with when they are here. Also bought a small item to sell on - this went onto my sales unit shelves and sold straight away :T Nothing else spent except for 90p for the car park, so a low spend day, at least.

Restocked / tidied sales unit
Posted ebay parcel

Put an old Belfast sink on FB selling pages and it sold straight away - assuming they collect on Saturday as they promised. Seemed very keen, so hopefully they will!
Put a couple of items on freecycle, also collected a scruffy old bureau from a freecycler which will be handy for storing the car cleaning stuff / oils etc at the back of the garage
Made an open puff pastry tart (using up YS puff pastry bought yesterday), filled with a layer of on offer camembert, roasted courgettes and tomatoes from the garden. Had this for dinner, and there is plenty for lunch tomorrow
Watered back garden
Picked tomatoes, blueberries and French beans


And I still have the ironing to do
