I just made (the same) £135 (again), employer 'forgot' me to pay for a March day claimed in February. Had a quick chat with nice man - will now be paid at the end of May (they have a lot of nerve). Anyways job sorted. XX

afternoon guys I feel like I've been quite productive and on top of things today - probably more a "feeling" than a reality! I am today starting to feel better. I started another medication yesterday and apart from feeling a little drowsy (am hoping as it gets in my system this will pass) I feel better than I have in weeks!

Up until now I have made a ironing board cover as ours was in a terrible state - used an old sheet with a nice pattern and elastic in stores - and repaired something of oh's for football protection, should last a bit longer

I paid cc in full also paid a couple of bills

checked on seeds - broccoli is germinating

still to do:

* vacuum & polish
* make meat sauce for lasagna in pc
* pick up some sweets for madam for after school. Might make browning instead though....
* read free book
* early night

Not much, still taking it easy!

Morning determined sounds like you have a lovely day planned. Enjoy!

I've got a few things to do today:
Get some mince out of freezer. Will make lasagne later. Will put some dough in BM to make a HM garlic and herb tear and share.
Make crumble using variety of fruit in fridge and crumble mix from freezer
Finally paid money from sale in to 1p account. Now at 73% achieved only just over a third of the way through the year :j
Vacuum through
Change last bed for the week
Some homework with the smalls so we can forget about it for the rest of the long weekend
Out for a walk or digging in the garden later, depending on what the weather does. No spending either way.

Have a good day, Purps.

Morning all :coffee: :hello:
I wish I'd woken up to a glorious day DNMS - but it was definitely sleeting outside here when I let the cats in this morning... The sun keeps trying to peek through so it's definitely going to be good rainbow weather (I do like rainbow spotting).
Thank you all for your kind words and support about ex... he's still missing but there has been some positive news from the police so I'm relieved and back to being angry rather than worried now. It is a very long and boring story ditty, but I am so grateful for the support and reassurance I get on here... Goodness knows how much longer it's going to go on, but he is actually my ex husband so not my concern. I've reassured the kids and that's the important thing.
It's only the 4th and I'm already stony broke for the month. Gutted, but not surprised. I have enough to survive, and that's the most important thing. We had a good Easter break and that's why things are tight now so it was definitely worth it.
Plans for today -
All meals from stores
Going out for a couple of hours this afternoon with my sister. We're taking my mam to get a tattoo for her birthday (already paid for).
Relax with a cuppa, catching up on here and reading a book that someone at work has lent to me - he insists it will make me laugh out loud, which I kind of feel like I need at the moment.
Possibility that my sister and bestie are coming round tonight for dinner and drinks (all from stuff we already have in).
Usual housework stuff - washing, recycling etc.
Plan some meals for the week ahead - I have veggies in the fridge starting to look a bit sad (always too many carrots in my life).
Have a good day everyone!

Afternoon all
Phew! DD and the children have just gone. Will be putting the house back together shortly! :rotfl:
Managed to get some stuff done before they arrived:
HG fruit from freezer with breakfast
Load of washing now blowing on the line
Hung yesterday's still damp washing in airing cupboard to finish off

Hoovered and dusted bedroom :T
Looked in my packaging stash for a decent small paper carrier bag in lieu of a gift bag for son-in-law's birthday present (looks posher than a supermarket gift bag anyway) and found a suitable card in the bureau.

Bit of ironing :eek:
Made some jellies for the children, and some with fruit in for low calorie desserts for us (kids don't like 'bits' in theirs :rotfl:)

Chopped and froze some kale that was languishing in the fridge
Used a bag that had contained bagels, instead of a bought freezer bag

Washed out another bag that had been used for frozen fruit, pegged on the line, now dry and ready to be used again
Stuff from the fridge and HG salad leaves for lunch for everyone
Walked in to town, small spends in CS (a top for me and a toy for GD)
Now need to water seedlings and sort out something we already have for dinner!

Put a load of washing in the machine on Thursday evening, and finally got it on the line (and dried) this morning.

Plucked up my courage and did the video interview - not expecting much, it was just too weird. Kept looking at myself on the screen and thinking 'God, you look like your mother', which wasn't the look I was going for!!! Didn't do anything AT ALL for my confidence.
Took my frustration out on the grass - cut it, trimmed the edges, continued to tie back the clematis (which is rapidly forming a screen to make the garden a bit more private, but needs to be tended to every day at this time of the year). Many many years ago my Dad gave me some really good advice about gardening - if the edges of the grass are trimmed, everything else will look fab. Thanks Dad! It's saved me a lot of time over the years! The weather was lovely, so made myself a smoothie (using two unloved bananas and a couple of superannuated satsumas, some milk and a dollop of natural yogurt) and drank it outside. I find smoothies are a really good way to use up fruit that's been around for too long.

Then off to the chiropodist to have a corn removed. She gave me a 'mini' appointment (£17 for 15 minutes rather than £35 for 30 minutes) because it was only a little job - I didn't know they did that!! And it feels so much better, so money well spent.

Tea tonight was tuna and pasta. There were some leftovers in the fridge, so I added that to the mix, and now I've eaten too much!! I won't be bothering with pudding...
