What small DFW things will you do w/c 27th April?

rdone

Happy hump day all!
I totally get where you're coming from La E, I have no interest in talking to family members about debt either.  Especially now we have it under control.  I'd much rather just get it sorted and get advice and support from people on here who are in similar situations.
I've had a productive work day today, including a few 121 meetings with my team done remotely of course.  Strange to get used to and I'm worried about their volume of work but they all assure me they're happy.
All food has been from stores - yogurt for breakfast, last nights left over pasta and tomato sauce for lunch and tonight we need to use up a swede so having Linda McCartney sausages, gravy and peas with it - yum.
I've also updated our new ss as more DDs went out today.
Going to get on the turbo trainer shortly as I feel a bit stationary.
Hope you all have lovely evenings

Hi everyone

Rant away @La_escocesa, I would just control what you can 

Today's plans:
Check Bank & made PAD - Done 
Speak to mum - Done (and will again later)
DH has dug out the white emulsion and we're going to refresh the kitchen (we have big plans to re-tile and revamp the kitchen after lockdown as well as have the electrics checked - money waiting) - 
Make crustless quiches (and mourn the fact I can't bake anything else as no flour  ) - 
Sort Cook Books and various/numerous magazines and bits of recipes saved (any tips of how you save random recipes - do you have a file or book or recipe box) - 
Purge a few emails -
Enter a few comps - 
Swagbucks - 
All meals from cupboards/fridge/freezer 
Checked: Lucky Bob, PMP, WinaDinner 

Have a great day!

Morning all. Feeling a bit better today, less back pain etc and that's helping me manage my anxiety. There's still a lot going on with an illness in OH family but I am trying hard to handle it for the sake of OH and DD.
Money wise not much happening. Small things for today:

• -go thru food stocks and make list for weekend shopping based on meals for next week
• -water seedlings
• -do meditation!
• -walk dog which I know does me good too
• -check banks it was payday Tuesday
• -lookout for books 📚 arriving for DD - one favourite she wants to read again but doesn't own, and one which feeds into her this term's school topic, a history book. History is her favourite. Am pleased, it's one of my favourites too!
• -order new chew toys for dog.  🐕 There is about a square inch left of the last one. No sock is safe. Had hoped OH might get to pass pets at home or similar when he had to take stuff to his mum yesterday but he didn't get the chance. There's none near us though I suppose given we also need treats it might be considered essential travel-? :-) Think I'd be on shaky ground if I got stopped 20 miles from my house with just a squeaky dinosaur in my shopping bag.
• -dry washing on line, it's cold but windy and fine
• -not mention schoolwork again. None was done at all last two days but household was much happier 😀😀😀

Hello all,
Can't believe it's almost 12 o'clock - where has the morning gone?
More bills went out today and a DD to a CC so was nice to see that with £100 less on it, will be upping the payment next month.
TA2022 - I honestly think schoolwork is useless at the moment, it's a great time for children to learn and explore who they are and what their interests are without having to be forced into things in school.  As long as children are happy I think the parents are doing a great job!

Today's list:
- update ss
- all food from stores: yogurt for breakfast (again), JPs and hm hummus for lunch, wholemeal spaghetti, quorn chicken and free from pesto for tea
- am currently writing an article for work to go into a national magazine, just running through a final edit
- half hour on my turbo trainer tonight, this will give me a discount on my apple watch payment next month
- sort through pile of tickets/guide books/etc from holidays to go into scrap book

Hope you all have a lovely Thursday and stay safe

Afternoon all

Heavy rain here again today. And it is cold - we lit the fire last night, and will again tonight. Got up just after 5 and walked the dog, (lots of steps this morning as I am managing to persuade him to walk further, luckily it wasn't raining first thing), fed him, put the dishwasher on and read the news online while having breakfast... then went back to bed for an hour, because I felt tired and cold. Woke up feeling better, but still not very motivated I am afraid - must be the weather!

Lunch was HM leek and potato soup from the freezer, and dinner will be pork chops, roasted veg etc. Hoping normal service will be resumed tomorrow!

Hi Sorted bills put a bit in my savings. Very exciting, but will they stay there! E0N still want me to up my dd, saying thet I will be  £100  under in February 2021. Thats a long time away, so I am not approving it. Worked on screen today, not many students showed up so I am just absolutely exhausted and have a massive headache.  Hope everybody else is in a slightly better mood.

Not a good day today.  Had to have the dryer on today as the washing mountain had built up which I’ve been trying to avoid but had to be done.  However did some mortgage calculations and when I can change our deal I will save approx £100 a month so it’s something.  

Supermarket shop done online for tomorrow evening.  Approx £60 so far but £25 of that will get back from a neighbour.  I think this shop will mean I don’t need anything from the supermarket for at least a week so that’s good.

i reorganised one freezer today to make it easier to find stuff.  Still got the freezer on the garage to do but that’s another days job.  I know that’s more pizza and quick food in there rather than ingredients.

Today’s tasks are tidying the garage aka his lordships gym/man cave.  Not given it a good clean for ages so going to blitz it. I’d like to make a cake or something today for a friends birthday and drop her off a little something to celebrate from a distance.

we have not ordered fish and chips either!  First week in ages but I am doing home made chips and freezer fish so will still have it, just a much cheaper version.
