    Evening all.
    Another 12 hour shift in. 2 to go.

    Today:
    Work all day so not much to report. All meals from stores and the cupboard and fridge are starting to look bare. This is good. Almost everything used and very little waste before shopping later this week.
    Checked online banking and updated spreadsheet.
    Refund from O2 finally in the bank :j need to decide whether to pay towards debt or too up emergency fund. Nicer problems...
    Feet up in front of the football later.
    ANOTHER Nsd :j:j

    Have a good evening all :beer:

    Hello :hello:
    Thanks for the starter this week Ally - hope you're ok after your eventful weekend.
    I have had another minor upset with my ex, which has led to a sleepless night and more anxiety. Admittedly I started the latest argument, but I was too upset that he'd let the kids down again over the weekend and I couldn't keep my mouth shut any more.
    Sleepless night = unproductive day so I've basically survived. Came home early from work and hoping for an early night tonight. I feel as though I've forgotten to do something because I think I'm done for the night apart from relaxing.
    Managed a nsd and used stuff from the freezer for dinner. House is clean ish for the moment and I'm just plodding on as usual. Think I might just get on with a bit of crochet for a while - that'll calm me down.

    Sorry you are having to deal with yet more hassle CCL :(
  • Evening all
    Hope you've had a peaceful evening CCL
    I've paid my council tax; put in my invoice for some self employment; done a SB survey (keep getting rejected though?? ) and an I-say survey; eaten from stores and kept the heating off.

    Morning all :hello:

    Just sat here doing a few banking jobs and we’ve had a power cut. Good job I made a cuppa first ;) another busy long day at work so need to be on my game, few DFW things as always though:

    Check banking
    Cashed out small fleabay sale now I’ve posted it and will pay to 1p challenge
    Updated food spends sheet
    Cancel fruit box for next week whilst we catch up
    Something out of freezer for tea
    Make 2 x packed lunch. I’m getting treated at work :)
    Hot drink for commute
    Decide whether to complain about some appalling service yesterday in a pharmacy which will now have to result in me going into town another day this week (when I’m working over an hour away each day) just because they are incompetent and didn’t do what they said they would do and just kept telling me ‘the computer says....’ :mad:
    Track food

    Have a good day all. Purps.
