  • Today is ia bit of an odd day for me, I'm really tired as had a late night performing last night so naught boy that I am have just been out and bought my lunch.

    Although saying that, that’s about all I plan to spend today.

    I have loads of washing to do this evening so will wash it all at 30 (apart from my whites which need to go on much higher cause they are filthy)

    Will hand wash some items that I would normally get specialist cleaned so will save myself a small fortune

    I’m making my next stage outfit which is time consuming but keeps me occupied and saves me about £150 that my dressmaker would charge me…

    And then its an early night

    So the weather is good overnight so washing will probably stay on the line all night…

    See you all tomorrow. Where I plan to have a NSD as will bring my lunch into the office.

    I've made a chilli and put it in the freezer and just about to make the meat sauce for a lasagne to freeze as well.

    When doing the shopping on Saturday mince was on offer so thought I would make a few meals out of it, so bought loads of ingredients etc but forgot that going out for tea on Wednesday (end of exams), cooking for the MIL on Thursday (She is veggi so can't have my lasagne or chilli) and then having tea at my mums on Friday. That leaves 2 days to eat things and we have got veg in for 2 meals as well.... Don't wanna waste it so going in freezer!
  • :j Hope everyone is having a good Monday:j

    Will make evening meal from storecupboard/fridge/freezer items:A

    Not need to do any washing as caught up with it all at weekend:A

    A NSD - had free lunch at school and daughters' lunch money is accounted for in weekly housekeeping:A

    Still not had any satisfaction/results from further dealings with nasty creditor:mad: and the CCCS:rolleyes: - communication....well there doesn't seem to be any.....:confused:
