Today I have:

Had a NSD:T
Will have a storecupboard/fridge/freezer meal for evening dinner:T
Checked online banking and all ok:A

Will have done 3 Super Quick washes by end of day, unfortunately continual rain means that they are/will be dried indoors:rolleyes:

Had a bit of an unexpected call from one of my creditors at my workplace despite requesting that I wished only to communicate with them by letter :mad:
Basically they were saying that they did not have the details of my revised DMP and they wanted immediate payment of £140:mad: :eek: :rotfl:

Contacted the CCCS when I got home and informed them of this afternoon's events and they have told me they will contact creditor within next 24hrs and have given me a number to refer creditor to if they call again as this company is well known for behaviour bordering on harrassment.
Feel a bit less worried now:T

Hope everyone has had a good Wednesday so far:j :T

Sorry to hear about your sad news, Cleosmum...:grouphug:

Today, I have done/will do the following:

- piggyclicks (but there weren't any again! :mad:) and comps
- checked online banking
- took lunch into work (sandwiches) but didn't eat the cereal bar I took for a snack as I got a free Pret a Manger fruit salad (leftover from a large catered lunchtime meeting - we always get the leftover sandwiches/sushi/any other food and normally I don't fancy it "2nd hand" but this was completely sealed up and "untouched" ). It was very nice and certainly something I would never buy for myself (I can never bring myself to pay for ready chopped up fruit...:rotfl:) so I really enjoyed it - and my cereal bar is in the desk drawer for tomorrow!
- dinner from meal plan (freezer/storecupboard again) :T

Think thats about it for today. Hope you enjoyed Joseph, Sophiesmum!

Had a no spend day today thanks to a change in work circumstances.

Work in a school and doing the school bus escort this week, so missed out on all the info for the day. So once i am in school to start my day get told that staff member is off sick and im taking their place and im off to Center Parcs for the day as where taking 1 student on a day visit (most of the school is at Center Parcs with our staff for the week).

Told im supplied with lunch due to not getting a lunch break, brillant as my left over spag bol that i was going to re heat at work became my tea tonight.

I also get a hot chocolate this morning after taking the kids on the pedalos and then get an iced coffee and rockey road from Starbucks this afternoon.

So had a lovely day, no money spent, day out at Center Parcs, things bought for me and lasts night tea covered tonights tea as well. Perfect....

Thanks everyone- my halo slipped a bit today i'm afraid. Cleosmum - i'm sorry to hear about your rabbit. Poor little thing. I hope you feel better soon.

Today I called my Mum and forgot to hang up and call back after an hour so very ccrossssss with myself!!!
I had a low spend day- spent the last of our April food budget buying ceap tesco pasta and reduced utterly butterly- got enough now till the baby comes! I also got a mmassive pork joint which i've cut into 2 and frozen- was reduced so pleased about that!
Checkon online banking! All is as it should be!
I will do clicks tonight at work, start work 15 mins early- all helps! I will also check out the mystery shopping sites and try to figure those out.
Umm I will make a list of quidco bits to sign up for to make some money.
I will not spend any more money on pasta at tescos just because it costs 19p!!! 10 bags is enough!!!
Hope everyone has a good day!
Love
J
