    Hi February Fund Finders,

    Evening!:coffee: W.e.e.k.e.n.d.

    Pleased with myself. When I bought my 'new' car last April I also had to upgrade the insurance to business and I ended up paying £365 for it. I did shop around briefly but that was the best I could get. Usually for insurance without business I would pay about £150, so this was a huge jump but last April I was in no fit state to shop around. Just renewed my insurance with business cover for £164. That's more like it!

    :T



    Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Four:

    * Check online banking. Done.

    * Continue my Challenge 500 miles challenge to travel 500 miles for free before the end of 2019: walking, hiking, climbing, cycling, running and swimming. Will walk. Walked 2km. That's 68.12/500 so far.

    * Dinner will be some forgotten langoustines followed by curry.

    * Clear emails. Done.

    * Entertainment will be bird watching using RSPB membership. Done

    Good effort! Who are you with? We need business cover too and ours is going to be approx. £400

    Afternoon all :)
    Been out today and had lunch out - doesn't happen often, and a jacket potato and a coffee each didn't break the bank :)
    Apart from that:
    Tidied up a bit
    Very excited to see both a blue tit and a wren sizing up a bird box in the garden :) in fact, they even seemed to be having a disagreement about who should have access. Our garden is small, and the bird box is in quite an open situation (at least while there aren't any leaves etc) so we were quite surprised to see this. Having said that, it would be a very safe nesting spot, as small dog sees to it that cats don't come into the back garden. Fingers crossed!
    Folded and put away the dry washing on the airer - I always peg it outside if it is dry too Foxgloves, and as you say, even heavy things get half dry on a decent winter's day. I finish it off on the airer in the warm lounge, in the residual heat from the log stove which we light in the evening but always let out at bedtime, and it is nearly always completely dry by the morning :)

    Froze most of the muffins I made last night :)

    Packed and posted a small ebay sale
    RM surveys stuff done
    All today's spends logged in appropriate places (in my spending diary for personal / household stuff and business records for the couple of small items I bought to sell on. Receipts filed where necessary)
    Watered micro leaves seedlings (rocket, mustard and spinach so far :))
    I have a big pot of bolognese bubbling away on the stove, in which I have included lots of veg along with the meat :) There will be enough for at least 2 days of dinners there, probably more.
    OH has just lit the stove, so I had better fill a kettle to put on the top!

    Haha Baileys Babe it was really good! Would it change your mind if I said they were veggie sausages though? ;)

    I prefer my sausages with meat in, but good quality veggie sausages are still yummy. OH was a vegetarian for nearly 20 years. I have eaten my fair share of veggie meals before we meet, whilst he was a veggie and we continue to do so. Not tonight though we are having chicken orange and rosemary with vegetable rice.

    Morning Campers,
    Doesn't starting off the day with a bit of hefty amphibian swallowing get one off to a good start?

    I misread this as:

    We’re in this weeks newsletter :j if you’re reading for the first time come and join us and post your small things, they really do add up and I’ve learned so much on here because all these other lovely people have such fab ideas :A

    My list for today:
    Lunch to work I made the other day using an aubergine on the turn. Still another portion for another day. Some fruit too.
    Hot drink for commute
    Hair wash with shampoo bar
    Some chicken stew out of freezer for tea, have updated my inventory
    Check banking update sheet
    Got some mini sausages out of freezer for DH to include on picnic he is making for smalls today. Going somewhere new only £1 parking.
    Frozen fruit in breakfast
    Triage fridge
    Washing on airier, DH will hang out later.
    Out with friend tonight, we only buy 1 round each (less than £2) :o out of personal spends anyway so no affect on budget.

    Have a good day everyone. Purps.
