Today is pay day! Hooray! I've fiddled with the bank accounts and paid off credit cards. Everything is all organised and lovely. Ahhhhh

Today's list -
DS2 swimming lesson
Visit to Grandma (Remember hot drink in flask. Might walk up to get my steps in/get the kids to nap.)
Book nephew's birthday present - have emailed the company as I couldn't book online, gah
Finish packing list for Disney
List a couple more things for sale
Make some more snacks for the freezer for next term's lunchboxes - found a baked falafel recipe that I'll attempt after this
Arrange the car seat return - messaged them with the address, just need to package it up now

Hope everyone has a good day

Day off today after a full throttle day yesterday :eek:

- going shortly to a free slime making session at Hobbycraft with madam :money:

- picking up pup and going for a nice walk this afternoon
- madam making pizza for tea - just need to pick up some pepperoni
- load of washing in & will hang on line for a few hours
- sort through seed box. See what I've got & what I want to plant
- sewing :j my new machine arrived last Thurs but have only had time to do a quick test drive on it. So far so good! Managed to pick up 2 sewing repair jobs yesterday :j

Right try again...
Todays list
* run the washing machine several times to get caught up after poorly boy last night -first load out on the line but heavy rain is forecast so will keep an eye out! Raining now but all washed and will put on radiators to dry
* clean door handles, phones, remotes, games controllers, keyboards etc to try and keep bugs at bay Done
* make something for tonights meals based on what we have in, as I had planned on going to the shops this morning which won't now happen making a Keema Matar curry using simplyc00k spices/recipe my dad gave us, didn't have enough mince but added in a tin of kidney beans and added in more veg too, browned the onion and mince and then just stuck it all in the slowcooker so that it'll be ready for us all tonight+ its something out of my use up box!
* make famiiles lunches for tomorrow (again as I'll not get to the shop I'll have to do something different to normal) Was going to give ds2 his packed lunch but will keep that for tomorrow, he's having soup now instead, I've pulled 2 small rolls out of the freezer which will then do for ds1 and going to make dh a chicken/bacon/[STRIKE]pasta[/STRIKE] COUS COUS (its another thing thats been hanging around the use up box!) thing for him, using up bits and pieces from the fridge
* ring the school to check on their policy (I know ds1s school is 48hrs after sickness, but I don't remember for ds2s - he seems well in himself again now just tired I'd say) yes he can go back once 24hrs clear - so keeping fingers crossed
* depending on ^^ I might need to get childcare for a bit for the morning tomorrow as I have dentist appointment or cancel appointment if needs be shouldn't be needed but my mum is on standby just in case!
* general tidy, add bits to the cs bag if I can all mixed around cwtches with boyo xx

Take care all.
Wrapped a leaving gift in pretty reused gift paper and walked to deliver it to get a little fresh air.
Renewed libray loans online to avoid a fine for late return in case I don't manage to drop them off tomorrow

Oh dear 1LL - sounds nasty. I hope he's feeling better soon and you don't all catch it!

Thanks Clf, he's been ok since about 4.30am now so hopefully he's on the mend. Just spoke to his school and their rule is 24hrs so hopefully he'll be back at school tomorrow.

DS2 swimming lesson done, he loved it as usual
Visit to Grandma (Remember hot drink in flask. Might walk up to get my steps in/get the kids to nap.) walked up, brought milk instead of the coffee so I can make one in a second. One out of two kids slept...
Book nephew's birthday present - think it's all done, just waiting for confirmation email
Finish packing list for Disney
List a couple more things for sale
Make some more snacks for the freezer for next term's lunchboxes - made baked falafels

I've got more done than I thought I would. Time for coffee and to relax while grandparents play with the kiddos then we'll walk back and make a risotto with leeks from the veg box. Lovely.

Hi Frugalistas,
And here are today's efforts:
*Haven't been out, so no spending.
*Ironed. Switched off to press final garment as usual.
*Last couple of wraps I froze being used for veggie fajhitas tonight. Both peppers were rather large so decapitated them, chopped & froze for next time I make pizza.
*Picked last of the wasabi rocket.
*Started clearing a corner of our garden for re-planting as a winter bed in memory of my Mum who was an ace gardener.
*Finished knitting my b-in-law's socks.Yarn from stash.
*Watered baby chilli seedlings.
*Sowed 10 trays of flower seeds (all free)
Cheers all,

Hi again, I'm liking this list. Walked to the dentist and to the hairdressers today and goth both appointments out of the way so hopefully I can work do my agency work tomorrow and Friday.
So saved on parking and fuel and got my 10000 steps in.
Got wet cut at hairdressers. No extra treatment needed at dentist.
Also I have set up my signature as you will see and I am extremely proud that my debt culling mission is going in the right direction, just got the latest credit card statement today.
