    Hi all,

    Well had an okay day today, i posted on yesterdays about watching 2 dvds and staying inside and must admit i got pretty fed up and was in a bad mood, moping around feeling sorry for myself.

    Today I:

    * As always spoke to my parents/sister back home in Australia, talking to them can always cheer me up.
    * Went off to my freebie gym, while OH sat in the car so we didn't have to pay to park in town
    * Did food shopping afterwards, needed it yesterday, but didn't wanna waste an extra journey into town, so thought it was best waiting till today.
    * 2 loads of washing at 30 and out of the line to dry
    * Watched my 2nd dvd as didn't feel like it yesterday
    * Spent £2.99 on a 24 piece cutlery set, went for the cheapest at argos and was the last 1 left.

    Today I have:
    • Completed a mystery shop
    • Checked for more mystery shops - none
    • Meals from stores
    • Bought reduced items in Tesco
    • Resolved to buy a new freezer, I am way too card happy and keep popping to the shops for bits - need to rein in the impulse buys - needed bread, crisps and choc bars for lunchboxes and ended up spending £15 in Tesco AND forgot the bread so had to go to corner shop and pay £1.42 :eek:
    • Washed 4 loads on 40 quick wash
    • Line dried above
    And I will:
    • [STRIKE]Fill out MS report[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check ebay for a freezer[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Do PB CT and comps - no CT earlier so fingers crossed![/STRIKE]
    Not too bad, I have raging hayfever today and tablets havent touched it, so pleased with what I have managed today :)

  • did anyone else go to the Renault motor racing today?

    What an absolute DFW I've had! Kids had a great day. 9 - 6!

    9 races and displays (from Clio's to last years F1 cars)
    Kids went on the bouncy castles, slides, face paints, carousel, carts and so on. Got given lots of sweets.

    Cost? Nil. Nadda. Nothing! Well, ok 2 minutes of my time applying for the free tickets.

    Total day spend was around £8 for fuel (I live quite close to Silverstone).
    Took packed lunch and squash so no spending on drinks, burgers and so on.

    Got home and I've made £109 on fleabay to boot!

    I think (or is it I hope?) I've got this DFW thingy :beer: :beer: :beer:
    The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity.

    Hey cleosmum -

    Have you tried a steroid nasal spray? My hayfever was terrible too until I started on one. Mine is called Nasonex, its prescription only from docs but works like absolute magic. Been out in garden all day today and feel fine. Still can't believe it!!!:j :j :j

    Evening all. Feeling a bit delicate after a not very DFW night out last night, but I rarely go out so not feeling too guilty. Today I have....
    • Listed three more items on eBay
    • Done PB clicks
    • Made lunch to take to work tomorrow
    • Done menu plan for the week and written shopping list- will go shopping tomorrow after work.
    Think that's it, but I have been at work all day so not too bad!
