Yesterdays list ended up pretty big, today will just be the basics as I've got to collect ds2 from school soon for his hospital review.
So todays list
* ys bread/muffins for breakfasts
* refilled water bottle at the gym
* check banking/update spreadsheet
* ring hairdressers to see if I can change my appointment
* all meals from stores
* no heating on
* iron dh's shirts later if I get time (and switch off before starting last shirt toi use the residual heat
* make a note on the calendar about when the coucil are collecting our old bed and the ariel man is coming to move our cables after moving stuff around yesterday
* share bath water
* take drink and snack for ds2 to have whilst we are waiting

Thats about it, anything more will be a bonus today.

Take care all.

Hello Frugalistas,
Waves to whoever it was mentioned they are in Derbyshire.....I'm in a neighbouring county.
Glorious day here. Job list finished apart from two tiny garden jobs which will be better done when it isn't so hot. Frugal bits as follows:
*Still doing use-it-up on foundation & mascara.
*Baked wholemeal bread.
*Baked mini-muffins. It's a generic recipe from a frugal book, you just chuck in 125g of whatever fruit you've got. I had 2 over-ripe peaches so did peach & ginger. No food waste here.
*Planned a no-spend trip out tomorrow plus a picnic. All ready except sarnies which I'll make tomorrow as hummus & cucumber can go a bit soggy.
*Staked & tied in greenhouse tomatoes.
*Watered veggie garden & continued hardening things off for planting outside soon.
*Rubber pork day 3. Hot pork cobs with apple sauce.
*Cut a big bunch of oregano for drying.
*Weeded a salad trough.
*Laundry done overnight on cheaper tariff plus a mini-wash to freshen up a summer coat for the charity shop.
*All line dried in the sunshine for free.
*Went through a couple of magazines to snip out some recipes, now filed, & mags in a bag ready to pass onto my friend.
*Hoed herb bed & bean bed.
*Started new library book.
*Free fitness.... Well, yes, but not really. What I mean is that I've done over 8000 steps already & I've not so much as set foot out of the front door. What I have done is just be generally active. I like to be busy & it's amazing how the steps add up. I'm. not very tall, & a walk from our back door to the end of the garden & back is 200 steps, so 5 such trips, which is frequent in growing season, racks up another 1000 steps on the Fitbit. My daily step target is 7000, as that delivers the 2000 calorie burn I need on the flab busting front. No expensive mail order weekly boxes of diet meals here, it's far more pedestrian (literally!)
Well, I think I'll read another chapter, then cave in to cat's dinner demands.
Cheers all,
F x

Evening all

The past 2 days have been very successful lsds spent £2.50 yest and only 20p today i have booked my car in for its mot and need a few bits the weekend so it will be quite spendy!! Oh has gone to the football and were watching the same match at home (me and dd im not really into football but dd is starting to enjoy it) its a localish derby for midlands teams so theres a lot of talk around here about the match lol!!

Tomorrows aims:
•work all day
•all meals from stores
•put 1 load of washing on tomorrow morning and oh can peg it out
• need to look for cheap replacement window wipers for car
• the garden could do with a tidy up and will sort bits to take to the tip on the weekend of when oh is off next week
• had a big bag of clothes given me for dd so need to sort them out and see what will fit her now
• dd is desperate to sort out holiday clothes so will do this and make a list of what is needed oh will buy the last few bits when he gets paid
• try to convince oh to wash my car...not sure if he will go for it

And i think thats it really....need to go and make shopping list after football and do online shop (saves me a fortune)

Have a lovely evening all
