Just to say I haven't abandoned the frugal cause. Am reading now & again but not posting, as I don't really have the heart for it just now. Mum is critically ill in intensive care & things are very very stressful.
Keep up the good work, everyone.

Switch dss alarm clock off at the wall to save on the electicity - it quickly resets once switched on again Done Wash 2 loads on the quick 30 degree wash and hopefully get hung on the line, the weather isn't great again Done B/L/D from stores - ys bread for breakfastDone / tuna sweetcorn mayo pasta for lunch Done/ kids will have jacket/beans/leftover sausages with fruit/overnight oats for snacks/dessert - Need to make something for tonight/tomorrow with chicken breast I'd taken out of the freezer - not sure what yet Chicken pie and mash without the pastry! Got to get back to eating healthier. Get paperwork together for one of dh's pensions, this has turned into a frog Set up kids jobs list ready for September - ties in with earning their pocket money Done Check banking/update spreadsheet Done Make dh's lunch for tomorrow - although will leave this til later as it might be able to work from home tomorrow instead General tidy round for as long as the kids are happily playing Make another portion of overnight oats with the kids for them to tweak the recipe again
Hopefully I'll add more as the day goes on.
:heart: Made 6 omelettes, I've had one and the other 5 for the next couple of days cold - Done A couple of onepoll surveys done All the washer was just about dry when the rain started thankfully so everything is hung up on the on hangers on doors to finish off and all the ironing is up to date now too - I do love an empty wash basket!

Thinking of you Foxgloves and sending lots of love.
I'm ok - thanks everyone who has asked. Very relieved about the exam results - better than we could have hoped (although me being a perfectionist still wanted better) and a massive improvement for the department. However, my adrenalin has all gone and I'm now just utterly exhausted.Not giving up

Time to take back control

Morning all :hello: Foxgloves sending love and hugs across the EM
My things today:
Got half an avocado out of freezer for breakfast, will defrost in half an hour or so
Get something out of freezer for tea
Pick some tomatoes
Read what to do with my raspberry canes now they have come to an end
Pick a material for a new sofa and then order it. Have money saved so no extra spend there.
Meal plan for next week
Go for a run
Got lots of stuff for charity shop, see if I can drop it off today.
Have a children's clothes sale in a few weeks, thought I had a box of out grown stuff in loft but couldn't find it yesterday, must check in garage.
See if I can get some of spare room stripped today, I really don't feel like doing much work if I'm honest
Go to library with the smalls
Should keep me going I think
