    Fingers crossed for you! Sorry thought it was today! OH has to be the one to give up...anrecc lozenges as a help but am sure you would rather he be honest but from his pov do you have a go if he smokes in which case kinda see why he may sneak one!! Giving up is soooo hard ...havent smoked for ages but sometimes could kill for a fag!

  • Id be sad if he didnt give up but I know how hard it is so I wouldnt have a go. Its the dishonesty I have a problem with. Been with him 12+ years and I still cant fully trust him. Every time I think weve got somewhere I find hes kept something from me. lIke bills and smoking.

    Just getting the final bits together before we go.

    Good morning Wendy, hope it stays fine for the car boot and you make lots of money.
  • Hello :wave:

    Well thank you for your thoughts they paid off :T :A . A couple of spots of rain buts thats it. Took £23.70 so after pitch fee of £6 made £17.70 not a great deal but Im happy. On top of that DD1 made £2.50 but then spent £1.50. DD2 made £2.30 and spent 50p.

    Not sure what to do with whats left . I think Ill keep a bit but freecycle the rest. Most of it goes for 10p at best. Still have the pool heater to list. Its cleaned up and in a box.

    I did get given a huge box of videos at the end heading for the bin so the kids can go through and keep some and the rest probably freecycled.

    Need a rest now and some :EasterBun , OH taken DD2 into town to spend a bit more of her birthday money when he gets back Ill have a snooze. Plans for later are baking

    Lemon cake
    Bluberry muffins
    Rice crispie cakes
    Hobnobs

    Should be a no spend day today fingers crossed.

    Thniking of trying the £10 a day challenge - have £17.70 so far and £70 on way from quidco. I have heater to ebay hoping for £20. Not sure what else to do though. On hols in 20 days :eek: , work going to be manic and have to fit in around 3 days of study. With that I think Ill leave it and see how things go.

    GR after a slow start your July figure is excellent :j .

  • Had a kip, washed up, put some car boot stuff away and dinner on. OH in sad mood hes feeling bored and lonely. Dont know what I can do (other than swear !!!!!!:mad: under my breath)? I know I usually sleep at the weekend but this is after he has had a lie in and I just cant help myself. I seem to have low energy levels and can only do small jobs or larger ones a bit at a time or I wear myself out. I dont know how other keep themselves going :confused: Anyways £8 of todays profit gone to OH to go up the golf range - anything for a quiet life.

    Just about to start baking but low on self raising flour. I need to look on old stlye to find out how much baking powder to add to plain flour.

    Well done on the car boot and quidco it all adds up and am with you on the energy levels.I'm worn out.
  • Thanks Taxi - there so much to do these days isnt there? I really enjoyed my last week off where I got to do practically nowt.

    Found out through google that 500g flour needs 2 1/2 tsp baking powder. All but the muffins baked and turned out fine (usually ruin something but that was todays attempt at my own lasagne, Not a total failure but improvements needed!)

    Not back in office now till Thursday but hoping the first two days are fairly straight forward on 30 mins away and Im just assisting so no dreaded report just a memo.

    Goal is to minimilise silly spends on myself and take lunch. At the very least I have some baked goodies and some rolos from Mr ts that are 23p a pack verses the 45-55p I usually pay.

    Just thought still havent done dental claim ooops

  • Well I was late this morning because it was a different office - serves me right for not checking. Then data stick wouldnt work so I though Id have to drive back to office to get fixed. Thankfully it could be sorted over the phone. Forgot to book an appointment but other than that a good day and most importantly so far A No Spend Day:j !!

    Hi Wendy. Well done on the car boot. Every bit helps and as long as you make a bit extra over the pitch price it's all good. DD sorting out her bedroom so may do one myself soon. As long as the weather stays ok. Can't tell these days! Getting a bit tired of putting stuff on ebay but needs must.
    Keep well hun
