Im just wondering if any of you loverly people would help me with this question

I want to save and im on benifits, but how do i do it? even if its only a little amount each week for example £10, i still want to save and have something to aim for. I would put it in my e savers account to start with then when i have lots of savings i would transfer it to another account with high intrest.
I would ask the savings thread..BUT i saw a post about a lady/man in same situation as me and they went on about well if your on befits that money should only be used for living off etc and not saving. Pm me if anyone has any help so we dont go off topic

Morning everyone:hello:

I've got tickets for the Mystic Show at Olympia this weekend, but not sure if I fancy going now? especially as there are no trains and a bus service put on - so that means itwill take forever to get there!!:rolleyes: Those psychics should have foreseen that and picked a better weekend! :rotfl:

Got to pop to asda/sainsbury to see if I can get DS2 some school shorts and then see where the day takes me!

DD and I have got colds aswell! cant believe it for this time of year! Dont think its hayfever as its a bit phlemy IYKWIM? (sorry if thats TMI for this time of the morning!)

Catznine - hope the school situation improves for you x
PPincher - hope all goes well in hospital x
Mrs Mix - hope you & dad are well x
Pippad - try some garlic cheese, that got my "bump" moving!;)
bethebee - sorry it wasnt better news x
essex-girl - (hugs) hope your situation starts to "look up" soonx
jet77 - good luck with the move !
penpen - enjoy your nite out!
pink - good luck with the car hunt! I've had mine for yonks too and its starting to rust on the wheel arches now!
Have a good day all! xx

Lovely sunny morning.
Did 2 loads of washing last night - single bedding and also curtains. I'm going to put the navy curtains from the back bedroom into ours so OH stops moaning about it being too light (we have cream curtains). So....washing on the line, neighbours up and about, one hoovering out car, others pottering about doing jobs. It feels like a lovely weekend where people are catching up on tasks but managing to get outside as well.
Going to sweep around the outside of the front and back doors this morning to allow clear flow of good energy
Have a lovely day all

Good Morning all
Hope you are all well. I have not been on here for a while as I didnt feel as though i was in the right place as my life is not very OS but i enjoyed the company if you see what i mean.I also needed to sort out myself as i felt i was going nowhere and needed to pull my socks up and enjoy what i have.
Have now given myself a virtual slap round the face and am going to change things so i can get up everyday with a smile as i am lucky in many ways.
A special thanks to the 2 posters who pmed me you know who you are:A
Have been reading the thread and need to send loads of belated birthday wishes:bdaycake:
Birth congratulations:beer:
Cat congrats on the extra littlees

Hugs to Pen Pin, Jackie O ,Catznine,Smoky,Essex Girl and all those who need them especially those struggling with parents who are ill I hope you get the support you deserve.

morning all,

Beautiful day here again, have got a load of whites in the wm, and will then put OH work clothes in, they should all dry nicely today. DD has a friend sleeping over, and they want to go into town today, so I might take them and have a wander around, although I might ask DD's dad to do the honours, and go out walking .

We have gala pie for tea with salad and new pots, and I have a small ham to cook up for sandwiches in the week. other than that not a lot of cleaning going on, (its the weekend ).

betheebee of course you must start the daily again, the one time I have been up early enough to do it I put the date a year ahead . I hope you arms feel better xx

Catz, might be time for a new job xx

Essex girl poggie and pen pin hugs to you xx

tru, glad the grandchildren are doing well

Hi there - just sitting down with a coffee before starting the baking.

Essex- Girl and Catznine - (((hugs))) to your DHs

JET - good luck with the move - hope it all goes smoothly!

TIRED MUM - good to see you posting; we all have times when we don't feel very OS so don't worry about it!

Well, I don't feel very organised this morning mainly because DH said he was going out to finish a job and he would be leaving at around 8am so I sort of hung around waiting for him to go before I got on with things and then he didn't leave until 9am; it made me grumpy because I could have got things done in that hour! And now I don't really feel like doing anything because it all seems too much. When I get like that a scene pops into my head of an island with a moat around it and a drawbridge that only I control; in my mind's eye, I take myself there and pull the drawbridge up and just chill. It has a little beach area and a deckchair, lots of flowers, a pile of books, The Pearl Fishers to listen to and some choccie and wine; of course, it's always sunny there! How can I make it happen for real?

Oh well, back to reality - I know it's because I'm tired, really!

Anyway, it's very warm here but still hazy although I think the sun will make it through the clouds later this morning.

I'd better go and get something done.

See you all later.
