    Afternoon all :)
    Apologies if I haven't thanked your post - my thanks button only seems to work intermittently.
    Lots done today:
    Dog walk
    Fresh berries from the garden for breakfast :)
    House clean - OH hoovered downstairs while I did other stuff o:)
    Stripped bed and washed the linen, including the mattress topper thing which only just fits in the machine. All out on the line to dry (topper dry already)
    Prepped, blanched and froze a big batch of beans
    Some admin stuff - booked dentist appointment (I am changing practice) and car service, paid my tax bill - when OH comes in I will log in as him (I have to wait for him as they send a code to his phone) and pay his as well. Won't have to think about it then!
    Printed off a couple of recipes while OH took the dog for his afternoon walk (dog barks at the printer for some reason, most annoying!). Used some of the reams of paper that comes with RM surveys items
    Still need to do some watering in the garden.

  • Morning,

    Sorry the past 2 days have been crazy at work! Yesterday i was poorly and had a bad head so just went to sleep early and slept through! 

    @jadewest94 i am sorry to hear about your cat, sending lots of love.

    My catch up:
    Thursday at work, nsd :)
    Friday on a course, not sure if lunch was provided but brought a sandwich and picked some boxes of chocolates for xmas, £23 spent but did get 6 tubs.

    My plans for today:
    Take dd to her club, having a free family fun day but need to pay for drinks so will take my own.
    All meals from stores.
    Got a load of washing in already will go on the line before we go.
    Change all beds.
    Vacuum all the through the house.
    Make a shopping list ready for tomorrow, i think it will just be sandwich bits this week as freezer is full.
    Dd having a friend over today, so i will do pizzas and snacky bits for tea. 
    I will make a cake this afternoon as a nice desert for after tea.
    Need to look into pet insurance for our animals, as we recently had a new puppy and need to get him covered.

    I think that is all for today! 

    Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday! 
  • Morning,

    I didnt quite get through my list yesterday as i ended up popping to see my sister. 

    Also oh treated us to chip shop tea and we ended up using free cinema tickets for a night out with dd and her friend, oh paid for the drinks and sweets from the shop so it cost me nothing for a night out and not cooking 😊 

    Yesterday i did a click and collect order with te$co as there were some items with free voucher codes for some items so saved £9 in total, i was quite economical and didnt buy anything i didnt  need, my shopping  came to just under £50 for the week.

    Todays plans are:
    Change beds
    Do at least 2 loads of washing it looks lovely here so want it all dried on the line.
    Iron school uniforms and work clothes for this week.
    Collect food shopping
    All meals from stores today, got a nixe beef joint (actually half i always split them to get an extra meal)
    Didnt make a cake yesterday either so will make one this morning.

    Thats all my plans for today but should keep me busy!

    Happy Sunday everyone x
