  • PurpleFairy Good point about peeling the bananas first, I always do, that way I can use them straight from frozen. Usually in smoothies, cake feeding to babies. A friend used to stuff chicken breasts with banana, surprisingly tasty.

    My stay out of debt small thing for this week is to scan in and then shred old paper work that has been sitting around for ages to create more space so I don't need to buy more folders to store it in, and also have more space to put things away.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.
  • Hello! :D :coffee:
    I didn't check in last night as I was absolutely shattered and I had a very stressful evening. Tried to nap on the sofa but got woken by someone knocking on the door, then ex turned up at the house and I struggled to get him to leave. However, I was in bed by 10 and slept ok ish. Got up early this morning and went to get the shopping done and out of the way - between Aldee, Mr A and Mr S. They are all in the same town and it helps me to get my steps up a bit.
    Just catching up on here before lunch and then heading out to see bestie for a coffee and catch up. Whilst I've had plenty of sleep I feel quite stressed out if I'm being honest.
    Bought lots of cheap veggies at Aldee this morning on the super 6 and I'm going to do a bit of batch cooking later in preparation for the week ahead.
    Financial worries rumble on, but I have managed to get Apple to refund the money YNAB took without my permission. How ironic a budgeting app sent me overdrawn for 2 months in a row. I'll just need to find a different way to budget.
  • DNMS - sorry to hear that work is getting to you so much...
  • Evening all,

    Hope everyone has had a good day.

    Ally, I hope you have a lovely holiday.
    Dnms, hope work went ok for you today.
    CCl , you have so much change going on at the moment, I think you're doing amazing well.
    Datlax, I enjoy shredding! find it quite theraputic!
    Baileysbabe, hope you had a nice time :)
    Pf, you've been busy!
    Foxgloves, hoping the hospital visit went ok.

    Not much done today -
    Was my nieces birthday lunch, gifts had mainly been bought in the jan sales, reused wrapping paper and paid for meal using Mr T vouchers
    It was a big lunch so just had cheese, crackers and fruit tonight.
    Ordered something from sportsdir3ct (was cheaper then the instore price), also went through dh's work cashback site.
    Took fabric off our footstool (as it didn't go with our rug which we'd got from my folks) we'd recovered it years ago and couldn't remember what we'd covered.. well anyway after unpicking it we've found that the colour underneath is the right kind of colour to go with the new (to us) rug :D


    Thats aboug it.

    Take care all.
    Sticking with the "Small things" thread to keep up us on the straight and narrow.
