Morning all, 
The thunder and lightening were really bad around 4am here,  I didn't get back to sleep after so feeling tired now. 
Anyway onto todays plan
Kids had some ys bread out of the freezer which now means I can move the last couple of things out of the 2nd fridge freezer and switch it off  ✅  ✅
Been to the gym and run week 3's runs 2 & 3 as the way the forecast is looking I wasn't going to be able to get run 3 in.  ✅
My breakfast is going to be leftovers from last night, I didn't do a risotto in the end,  I made a cheese sauce put all the mushrooms in and the last of some chicken I'd defrosted and had it on toast.  It was delish but far too much for one meal!  ✅
Lunch will be more of the leek and potato soup I bulk made ✅
Dinner will be the last of the beef stew,  with more freezer use up (dumplings for 1 and yorkie puds for 3)
Run the dishwasher on the quick wash  ✅  and empty ✅
Put washing away off the heated airer ✅
Run the washing machine on the quick wash ✅  and hang on the heated airer ✅
Check banking/update spreadsheet ✅ 
Continue packing for our trip (making sure I pack meds as dh & the kids all have coughs/colds) ✅
Hairdressers for me early afternoon,  then back there with the kids after school (must remember to get cash out of the bank as they don't take cards)  ✅


That's enough to be getting on with. 
Take care all.

Hi February Forumites,

Mornin'. ☕ Today is a workday 🤔, so very short, uninspiring list.

Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Five:

❄ Check online banking. ✅

❄ Day 17 of 30 day Free Running Challenge. 30.3km/18.8miles so far. We'll see if there is a break in the weather. ❎

❄ Alarm clock off at the wall during day time. ✅

❄ Clear emails. ✅
❄ Take a packed lunch to work later. ✅

Good morning folks!

Well that was a spicy start to the day! We were having the gas safety check at 9am. This normally consists of a quick 10 min call and turning everything on and off. Well this time the chap took one look at the boiler, the big bucket of water that leaks from it, opened it up and 'demmed it
I'm not unhappy about this at all as the boiler was ancient and very inefficient. The bath and shower weren't that hot any more and it's costing us more to run. Only down side is obvs with it being winter so we'll be a bit nippy for the next week or so. It's a rented property so no direct cost to us (although I wouldn't be surprised if the rent went up )

Today's small things:
B/L/D from stores - done
Heating off - got home from a quick jaunt out to find that the LA had popped two elec heaters into the porch for us
Reconcile budget sheet - done
Tidy round - always seems a mess in here  - done
Go up to the allotment this afternoon for an hour- nope. went to buy yarn instead 
Get up to date with my scrapbook. I am flagging already. This does not bode well for the idea. 
Hermes... apparently it's out for delivery again. Not sure I can be arsed any more. I kinda want the tree, so I might just see how long Hermes fancy carrying it around... decisions... well blow me down with a feather! It was been delivered! THERE'S CORN IN EGYPT YET!!
 Bought some yarn for a new crochet blanket using my pocket money
OH trying to learn the clarinet that he brought back from the loft at mil's
 Put up curtain from cs at back door. Already did the one at the front and it's made a big difference

Will add more as I go

Morning all 😃 

@determined_new_ms congratulations on the new arrival 💜 

Am at an all day appointment so opportunities are limited but it is a NSD so there is a start. But will take all opportunities I get:
free lunch and parking
DH got PP I success notifications on 3 loans and a CC it looks like but all from one provider. Will fill in the additional detail they want and see what happens 
check banking - 1 account was adrift my sheet and I can’t see why. Have manually adjusted later and will look again when I have more time. 
Washing on timer so it’ll be done later when I get back 
tea from stores, project eat out of freezer continues
read a blog a lovely forumite sent me a link to
Agreed with DH that we won’t be getting each other anything for tomorrow. We don’t normally (or for birthday and Christmas) but just double checking! 
Check on 2 products I’m fermenting on the side. Both new processes so it’s a big learning curve but will work out waaaay cheaper than buying finished in store. 

Have a a good day all. Purps.

Morning all!

Still only just hanging on to the MSE bandwagon but lurking around these parts certainly helps! Don't know what's the matter with me!! However, today I have/will:
* Check banks
* Load of washing on 30 degree eco wash
* Take lunch to work - this is a small win as been rubbish lately! Plus I'm going to have OH's dinner from last night as it was too spicy for him so he only had two mouthfuls! 
* Park for free and walk to work - got drenched!!! 
* Eat OOD porridge using communal milk at work 
* Do money shuffle to get everything back in the right pots
* Go to free pilates class at work 
* Check OP/PA 
* Check TCB 
* Buy card from cheap shop on way home
* Snap receipts 
* Hang washing on airer 
* Go to circuits (already paid in advance) 
* Dinner from stores
* Freeze mince if don't use for dinner 
* Wash hair and let dry naturally
* Do free Spanish lesson (only an app)

That's everything I can think of for now. Hope everyone has a good day.

Evening all

Congrats on the PPI results Purps

Brrr, cold today!

But I have:

Had HG cooked fruit from freezer for breakfast instead of bought fresh fruit

Looked after GD again this morning

Managed to make soup and put a stew in the SC for dinner while she was here. The soup is a kind of Thai vegetable thing - it is ok, but I don't love it. I will of course however be eating it - just because it isn't a gastronomic triumph is no reason to waste it!

Used up lots of fridge stuff in the soup and stew

Watered the vine weevil nematodes onto what remains of my strawberry plants after GD had gone home. Hope it isn't too cold for the little critters to do their grisly job!

Put a rice pudding into the oven to use up some cream that is on its date

Nothing like the level of activity yesterday with all the wood cutting, carting and stacking!

But no spending either

OH is off for a few days tomorrow, and the new mattress should be delivered 🙂

And I will be eating from stores, no shopping!
