    Afternoon all,

    So I just offered Vanquis £140 as a part settlement so hopefully they accept. I also forgot how cheap Lidl is, we went last night to pick up some bits, we spent £50 and managed to get a lot of food for me for work and freezer items.

    To do

    Sister is coming over tonight so need to do a quick clean 
    Put clothes away
    Water my outdoor plants

    The same match, lol, but not "our team" and son was happy when your team equalised.  I dont know why but for some reason I thought you might be close

    Afternoon all, 

    I worked sainsburys yesterday 4am until 9am. Came home and napped, must of needed it as I woke up at 4.50pm!! :tired_face:

    Worked sainsburys again today 4am until 9am, came home and tried to stay awake but napped. But I told OH not to let me sleep so he woke me up with a coffee and bacon and sausage sandwich! :lol:

    So I've hardly done anything at all this weekend and I'm now sat in bed snuggling the dog thinking of all the housework I should be doing. Which means I'm going to force myself out of bed.

    To do

    Make work lunch 
    Sort winter/summer clothes and rotate wardrobe as I have waaay to many clothes.
    Hoover upstairs
    Mop bathroom 
    Water House plants

    Afternoon all :)
    Spendy day today as I had a delivery from Mr Icy - they have some quite good bulk offers atm. Also went to the Sunday market, but apart from a few business spends, I bought only some oranges for £1 there. I have noted all spends in my diary (and business accounts for small biz bits).
    I have also:
    Walked the dog - he is much better now, but I am awaiting the test results from the vet. She thinks he may have a urine infection and may need antibiotics. He isn't uncomfortable atm because he is on an anti-inflammatory medicine.
    Given the kitchen worktops and the outside of the cooker a good clean, looks much better now. Also did the grill cavity. Main oven could do with a clean but that is for another day. I have a huge, old, and no doubt not very efficient gas range cooker of a rather posh make, which was left in our house when we bought it 11 or so years ago. It would have been very expensive when new, but it is a bit tatty now. I sometimes think of changing it for something smaller and more efficient, but I quite like the old thing, and it still works ok.
    Finished up some leftovers for lunch
    I still need to:
    Give the dining room a clean and tidy
    Make a pie for dinner (filling already done).  Actually I will make one big enough to do 2 dinners for the two of us
    Make a rice pudding to use up cream that has just gone out of date
    Make some biscuits / cakes to fill the oven when the pie goes in
    Check the fridge to see if anything else is in dire need of using up
    Price up some items to take to my sales unit tomorrow.

    Oh I forgot. I came across this bargain on tiktok. I didn't think it would arrive. A 2 litre water bottle costing the grand total of 99p, including shipping!! Old water bottle for reference :lol:
