Thank you for another week of "small DFW things" - it's truly one of the highlights since I started this forum.  
I am back to work this week after three weeks of annual leave: 

• So I am back to packed lunches and make my own coffee to go (for someone who loves her takeaway coffee, this is a big deal) 
• I have also set a shopping ban and no credit card spend for this week - so far, so good 
• Book an extra shift
• Keeping an eye on a few ebay items that will hopefully sell 

I swear lurking on this forum keeps me motivated, it's a constant reminder of my financial goals. 

Thanks and good luck!

Hello, may I join this week?

Things I've done today:
- Worked in office, took a packed lunch plus provisions to make myself a cup of tea.
- Walked to and from work - despite the cold! It's good free exercise.
- Unsubscribed from a bunch of emails - I've been getting lots of Sale notifications from companies I used for Xmas presents, I don't want to get sucked in.
- Listened to my audiobook.
- Used up some night-time beauty gifts I got for Xmas - they have frankincense as the main fragrance which I find very relaxing so will hopefully get a good nights rest!

Tomorrow:
- I plan to walk to work again, and take in a packed lunch and tea provisions too.
- I have an aubergine in the fridge that needs using up, so I'll base my dinner on that and make enough to take into work on Wednesday.
- I'll have a look if there's any surveys to complete on Prolific etc
- More audiobook.
- Check accounts, move some money into savings.

Morning everyone

A very light covering of snow here in the Midlands. It's still snowing, but very small flakes.
Had to go shopping yesterday but, as I only needed a few bits, I walked to Aldi rather than take the car. Spent £6.30 out of the £20 I've budgeted. Picked up some stir fry veg and a pack of beansprouts, both at 75% off, and I have some meat left over from Sunday dinner, so today's tea will be a stir-fry. Dinner (lunch) will be salad and new potatoes. Survived the second evening of my self-imposed "no alcohol on a school night" challenge. 

Filled out a form via my union for a potential tax rebate, will wait and see what comes of that. Long-standing forumites may remember that I'm a single dad with an autistic DS2 at home. He's now 21. DS1 has moved away and DS3 lives with my ex. Since the very unexpected death of my sister three weeks ago, I'm very conscious that, if anything happened to me, things would fall to DS2 to sort out, at least initially, and none of the kids would have a clue about who my solicitor is or what accounts. pensions and insurances etc. I have, so I've started to compile a list, Not trying to be morbid, just practical, as I don't want them to be stressing any more than they have to, or missing out on a payment they were entitled to because they didn't know about it. Rather than make it an onerous exercise, I'm just adding a couple of things to the list each day, as and when I think about them. 

Tasks for today:
Check banking and update spreadsheet - Done, 
NSD - all meals from stores
Go for a 'wellbeing walk' at around midday
Cat is due her flea treatment
Phone dentist, as they are back open again

Have a good day everyone.

Morning folks!

Welcome to @anjyeah and @delta13 - the more the merrier!

Still waiting for the chap to look at the washing machine. If he doesn't come today, I'll have to do a wash in the bath I guess. 
Bright and sunny here despite the cold which I'm hoping will lift my spirits a bit. Still feeling very on edge but listening to some music is helping. I need a shower too so might go and freshen up a bit and hopefully feel a bit more on the ball. 

Small things today will look like the other days I guess! Working a little, some NEBOSH study, and get out for a walk.

Have a good one all

Morning all,
very quiet in work today so just checked my emails, managed to get a trial of the new Zoflora range that's coming out for the next couple of days, think I get paid £5 and i'm able to keep the product!  
hopefully work picks up! 

Oh and I have a Bed Head trial, £50 for 2 weeks! Getting good at being picked for Trials!

Afternoon all

Thanks for starting us off Ally. Nice busy thread this week. I think I posted on last week's yesterday.... one week just merges into the next atm, or is that just me?

@Karb I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please take care.

Feeling spectactularly unmotivated today for some reason, was awake for ages in the night, so that is probably it. Did a good dog walk, cleared up the kitchen, put on a wash, listed a couple of bits on ebay and that is it so far. It is very cold again, and keeps snowing, though only flurries of small flakes so it doesn't really cause any problems. I need to go outside in a minute and tidy up after the dog, but struggling to force myself to put on my coat and wellies.  Brrrr!

Also ought to redo freezer inventory and check banks.

Not much done, but not spent anything either.

Evening all!
Not much going on here, managed to get a potato and leek soup mix for 30p as well as some reduced corn on a cob! I really need to sort out the spare room but it's something I keep putting off! I still haven't done a budget either
