Get well soon @DawnW we had a bug like that over xmas and its taken us all a long while to recover - dh still has a cough. 

Nice to see a busy thread again.  

I've also..
emptied the dehumidifier water into the loo cistern
given away a bottle of nail polish I'd got in a gift box for xmas that Ill not use
been given a pair of slippers in exchange that my friend won't use
kept all sockets off unless in use (eg microwave, cooker, chargers etc)
popped to the shop pizza as a treat for ds who was back into school for the first time post holidays (he's struggling with school so he'd had the choice of what was for tea so that he had something to look forward too! ) I had a voucher for £5 for iceland after a complaint so it was a free tea inc a bag of oven chips

Hi January Money Jugglers,

Another precious day off today.

Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Eight:

Alarm clock off at the wall during day time.

Made soup from a 23p lettuce, 33p single cream, some potatoes and fridge leftovers.

Crossing my fingers that the garage can get my car back on the road before a month's worth of plans go up in smoke.

Evening all

Hope all goes well with the car @allydowd

Still feeling fairly cr*ppy, coughing and a bit dizzy, well over a week now, but got a few bits done today:

Home grown berries with breakfast this morning

Sent OH to L*idl for the shopping. Several gaps on the shelf apparently, and an eye watering bill. This might be due to OH going and not me, as he isn't so attentive on pricing

Might as well try Sainsbugs again next time I think, as their f & v are generally better and they are price matching Al*i on some things. But anyway, we have what we need for now.

Load of washing on airer, as the weather is awful

Made a veggie lasagne for dinner, and there is plenty left for another meal.

Curtains are drawn and the stove is alight, so it is nice and cosy in here, 'free' cuppas and washing up water from the kettles that sit on top

Just a flying visit to update this evening. Hope everyone has had a good day.

A NSD for me today. Was in the office, but used train pass and took sandwiches with me.
Tea was from stores.
Home haircut this evening
Checked online banking, no surprises

  Put stuff in the car for the charity shop - might go when I go to pharmacy depending on the weather or later in the week but if its in the car its out of the house!
  Make a batch of Welsh cakes for after school snacks (these keep really well in the freezer)
  Keep fingers crossed that the dishwasher is actually still ok... didn't take the new one yesterday so getting a refund but then last night it didn't sound quite right again after it had worked perfectly since Friday! 
  Cook two chickens in the oven at the same time (one for us, one for my folks)  plus make some croutons with off cuts of ds1s sandwiches whilst the oven is on and cook a pack of sausages for tomorrows meal to make the most of the oven being on
  Empty the dehumidifier water/bowl of water from the sink in the loo into the loo cistern
  Read MSE email
  Read some of my ebook from the library
   Rm surveys

Right thats enough to get me started. 

Have a good day all.
