What small DFW things will you do this week? w/c 10/10

Hello,

So today I had a huge presentation, but have passed and so nearly completed my first year as a student nurse!
*NSD
*Dump bag chicken curry currently smelling gorgeous in the slow cooker
*managed to find my old quilt until I can replace mine (my dog decided to mark his territory on our bed last night - OH not impressed), so no need to rush out and buy one which keeps both of us happy.
*popped into DFS to have a look at the sofas to see the kind of style I want for when my living room is finally in one piece. Saw my aunt in there who's buying a new sofa and she said I could have hers which is 6 months old and does not have a mark on it. So free sofa = £700 saving!
*checked the usual lucky phone, etc. Can't be bothered doing any surveys as I have a bit of a headache from my pres, so instead going to have a nice relaxed night.

Take care.

Ally Good to have you back.

Woollisox Brilliant news about the sofa.

Today I still have no voice, my chest feels very heavy and I tirer very easily. I have been trying to pace my self with plenty of rests. I needed to go out this morning to get some medicine as I discovered last night dd has worms :eek: I realised I wasn't up to the half a mile walk to the shop so we drove :mad: whilst there we also bought some milk, posted a RM survery letter (I wouldn't gone out today for this it couldof waited until next week) and put fuel in my car as I was on vapours. I was out less than 30 minutes yet I needed to have a rest when we got home.

Lunch today was very yummy and the children were very happy with what was being served: last few slices of HM pizza, 1 slice of HM quiche, some HM sausage platt as well as a selection of fruit and veg ds prepared.

I have been doing the regular things like FPL, Ashleigh, PAD, turning things off, sorting out the WM to run overnight, same with the DW, porridge made for tomorrow. No heating, house surprisingly okay, we haven't even thought about lighting the stove. IF any body is feeling cold their are jumpers and blankets.

Off now to do the washing up before my next rest.

Hi all

Relative newbie to this site. Been reading, but not really contributing.

My DFW things this week:
- adjusted the boiler settings so that we are heating the water for less time. Have not noticed any lack of hot water, so hopefully i may be able to drop it a bit more. Hoping I will notice the impact on the bills. Anyone know how long a gas boiler needs to be on for to heat up a water tank?
- Bought the cat food from the butcher. 'Pet mince'. Cheaper and lasts longer. My girlies love it and i feel better as it feels more natural. (Sachets contain 4% meat, whats the rest of it made from?)
- home alone this evening, is usually dangerous on the pocket (and the bathroom scales), but i took out a HM 'ready meal' from the freezer this morning so i have no excuses to pop to the shops or takeaway (must resist the chocolate).
- having a tidy up/clear out of the workshop so we know what materials we have, so don't over buy in the future.
- ebaying items where we can, freegle non-sellable items, dumping the rest

Ally - I had to reread your post 3 times before I read the word smartwatch correctly... I thought it said sandwich :rotfl: £250 is one seriously expensive sandwich!
Feeling very rough today - tired and grumpy as always. Lovely day to have my photo taken for the local paper! :eek:
Other than that I have
bought milk so no nsd...
checked banking and PAD to moneybox
full teaching day
prep for lesson observation
Bit of housework when I got home
shower
no heating at all :j
Other than that it's all fairly quiet...

what is NSD, i've seen it used a few times but can't work out what it is.....
