• Washed up last nights dinner stuff and todays breakfast stuff, rather than in DW, saving electric
• Done housework - free exercise and feels good
• Checked for MS - none
• Put change in sealed pot, now too heavy for me to pick up and only half full :eek:
• Started a shopping list, will scout through cupboards and try and do a rough meal plan
• Updated lovefilm list to make the most of free trial
• Breakfast and lunch from stores, not sure whats for dinner yet though, will update later!

And I will:

• [STRIKE]Go to bank with cheque[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Complete shopping list[/STRIKE] and go via mysupermarket to make sure I get the best deals

• Check MOC and put them to one side to use weds
• [STRIKE]Wash on quickwash and airer dry[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Dinner from stores I hope![/STRIKE] Bought baking potatoes
• [STRIKE]Clean bathrooms - free exercise and feel good factor[/STRIKE]
• Wash up lunch and dinner things by hand, saving electric
• Work out which debts are ending in the next 3 months, finally feeling like I am getting somewhere, long may it last!

Eeeek I think thats it, feel like I have forgotten something though!

Hello everyone,

Seems everyone has been rather busy today.
So far I have:

*written cheques to send to loans after c&ck up by Abbey in changing DD accounts.
*work out overpayment amount to our Halifax credit card
*Called A&L to confirm and activate new card on account so can now overpay Halifax credit card...
*Made lunch
*Not spent a penny
*Made lunches for OH to take into work
*And to top it all off have got a booking as photographer for student union ball on friday. Its only small but 2 hours work and I get £30, and I dont have to worry about printing the pics or anything, so just need to snap people coming in with their dates. Plus means some shots to add to portfolio when I get started on it!
*Done housework
*Organised what clothes I have for holiday in July, and only need 2 pairs of flip flops and I'm done, so cheap cheap!

Hope we all have a productive evening to boot too!
xx

If the above doesn't constitute a busy day, Andan....I would hate to see your list of what would!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

Eternal optimist, that really is a quiet day for me, i like to keep most minutes of my day busy achieving something!! I even do something whilst travelling on public transport! I've also managed to fit time in to make flapjack today instead of buying my expensive flapjack bars from the shop!:D

Andan - can you share your flapjack recipe please? xx

andan

There isn't anything too it really. Just oats, brown sugar, marg and syrup. Needed around 250g of oats, 100g of sugar, 100g of marg and 3 tablespoon fulls of syrup although i put a few more in for luck. You melt all the stuff in a pan and then add the oats, making sure you stir it well so that all the oats are covered. Then stick it in the oven for twenty mins. There is nothing exciting to it, in fact i rarely bake, but was sat on the bus on the way home and suddenly realised i didn't have any of my flapjack bars left. I eat around three a day, due to leaving the house at seven and not getting in till two, but i don't have a lunch break so that makes up my meals. Figured making them myself would be much cheaper than the £1.30 i pay for a box of six, even if i do often buy them when they are on buy one get one free!

Mmmm....tasty! I'll make some tonight! x
