  • Wednesday's schedule has recently had some changes and I have yet to work out a plan to make the most of it.

    The children had 2 lots of training at different venues/towns. I managed to get free parking for the first and free for customer parking at the second. I purposely saved a couple of items from yesterdays list to cover this.

    Went to a friend's this afternoon for a coffee and a catch up, children are all friends so they enjoy entertaining each other.

    Dd currently at one of her "after school" activities, I'll need to go and collect her after this.

    Today's list:
    Only planned spends
    No paid for parking
    Socialising for free
    Turn lights and appliances off, when not in use
    Home educate children
    Refill water bottles at training venues
    B/L/D from stores
    Update freezer inventory
    Open curtains fully to get as much natural light as possible
    Close curtains before it gets dark to retain the heat
    Pack snacks for morning training
    Pack snacks for afternoon training
    Home educate children
    Set dw to run overnight
    Set wm to run overnight

  • You lot have broken my dream (as they say) except I was awake when I was thinking about it. As I was scrapping a jar of jam to get the last bit out of, I thought of Bob as it was one of her ‘things’ and I was racking my brain trying to think of La E’s name and it just wouldn’t come to me. And ta da, there it is :D

    Thanks for the reminder of check out smart ziggy not used them for a while. Will dig out my details.

    In other, non MSE news a row is brewing with our neighbours who have done something that’s completely disrespectful and frankly beyond belief and even though I’ve raised it with them, they’ve just ignored me. I can see me having to get the authorities involved which I was hoping would be avoided. Needless to say anxiety and stresses are at an all time high and I have a stress headache coming on :(

    :heart: Try reorganising the freezer & get the freezer list back up to date (my list includes which drawer its in and if its in the inside freezer or outside freezer :p) done

    This like our freezer list, it organised by freezer, drawer or shelf and quantity if relevant.

    I often think of them too, CLF. There was La Escocesa too. Hope they are all ok, and if they are reading, that they pop in and say hello :)


    I have contact with a few such folk. They are all ok. ;)

    Ally, I'm another who :rotfl: at the thought of space in a freezer



    LOL. I posted the information for the benefit of those who have little funds to fill a freezer.

    Sorry to hear of your issues with your neighbours :( We have 2 sets of neighbours 1 set is fine, the other set is selfish, manipulative, liars, threaten legal actions for imagined problems. In essence, they are bullies who do not like people not do what they want. They have caused a lot of upset and misery in our wider community :(
