Many thanks for starting us off Purps

Ally enjoy ur holiday

CLF I hope u are feeling better, feeling dizzy is just the worst

Had a great birthday weekend. My arms and hands are shredded from sports training but really good fun. An action packed weekend, was treated by bestie, DD and her BF took me out for a meal and I had a surprise visit from a relative staying at my mum's, just felt guilty I didn't have much time to spend with them.

Banking all checked and bills played today.
Still tidying the house, plan to do a bit more today....dont know why DD BF is back to stay the weekend but it makes me feel better. Also got DD to tidy her things in the spare room. Rather than unpacking fully after uni she is living out of bags plonked in the spare room, but at least the bedroom looks much better now.

Washing to go out as beds were stripped last night
DW just about to go on a low setting
Need to freeze up leftover chicken casserole made in the slow cooker. Gives DD an idea of what is left in the fridge she can use in one of her mash ups.
Ran out of bread but forgot YS loaf in the freezer that is coming out
Leftover custard in the fridge DD is busy using up with birthday cake so might have some later myself.
Meeting tonight I have to prepare for but first the usual cat cleaning.

Managed to finally sell my item on eBay. Happy days

Have a great day everyone x

Morning folks

Thanks HK! Feeling a bit better today. I have an ongoing problem but I have an ENT appointment on the 5th so hopefully a step in the right direction.

I'm also wondering if some of my dizziness is caused by either stress and/or high/low blood pressure.

Tummy was a bit off yesterday too so maybe had a small bug.

Normal list for a work day:

B/L/D from stores - done
Make the cake - done
Gym at lunchtime - done
Charge phone in work - done
Bit of fridge/freezer shuffling
Not going to fave cafe after work - done
Water garden - done

Not much doing today

Have a good one all

Morning all

Very hot again, so I have tried to get a few things done early:
Walked dog at about 7.30am - he wasn't sure about the early start :rotfl:
Walked to post office to post an ebay item. Also bought some more sun cream and a couple of other bits in Savers as I was passing.
Load of washing done and on line to dry

Put spare room back together after GD 'rearranged' it for me while playing yesterday :rotfl:

Chased another ebay buyer for payment
Now waiting for someone to (hopefully) pick up an item sold on FB
Picked up - only £4, but better than nothing and I now have a space in one of the kitchen cupboards :T

Still to do:
Another load of washing Done, all dry
List a dress that sadly doesn't fit on ebay Done, it has watchers already. Have washed it, now it needs ironing

Update spending diary, spreadsheet, check banks etc Done, though I still need to update signature
Food from home, I have plenty in Done
OH back later He is back, but obviously had a hard time of it as he has fallen asleep on the sofa :rotfl:

Chase re our poor camper van which was supposed to be back yesterday after its repairs / MOT - again :mad: Tomorrow - apparently :cool:
Water anything that needs it in the garden Still to do, too hot earlier
Tax car :eek: Done

Hope you feel better soon CLF

Morning Frugalistas,
Sitting on our shady courtyard, from which I am amazed to find an excellent wi-fi signal today. Am trying to arrange my day so that I am not outside doing the most physical tasks in the hottest part of the day.
MS tasks done so far:
*Cheapo overnight laundry pegged outside to dry for free.
*Veggie garden watered & cucumbers misted with recycled spray bottle as I want to avoid red spider mite this year. They always do for our cukes when the weather gets vert hot. RSMs, I am ONTO YOU!! Go somewhere else!
*Free fitness edging garden stepping stones......always takes longer than I think as we have a long garden & the stones are irregular curved shapes so can't just be done by making a few straight cuts.
*More free fitness clearing a section of large flower border which had 'gone over'. Filled in the gap by moving a large pot there, rather than having a crafty little cycle to the garden centre to buy something.
*Get leftover chicken out of the freezer ready to make tonight's meal.
*Checked online banking to see if a large transaction is appearing on statement yet. Nope!
*Did 2 surveys.
*Entered a competition.
STILL TO DO:
*Leftovers for lunch.
*Make tomorrow's packed lunch.
*Make chicken & mushroom supreme for tonight's meal.
*Pick strawberries which together with a l/o peach should make a dessert for tonight.
*Pick more fresh herbs for tying into bundles & drying - rosemary & thyme today.
*Start Kitchen Cupboard Blitz, prior to re-decorating which starts a week on Friday. Kitchen Cupboard #1 = Herbs & spices. I intend to re-label & clean jars as necessary, declutter anything superfluous, take down the bunches i've already dried to crumble & add to jars, & clean out the inside of the cupboard itself. Will make a list of spices which are getting very low too, as I do find that a really good store cupboard is massively helpful for cooking everything from scratch & batch cooking.
*Water garden again this evening. Front pots & small border can have recycled washing-up bowl water (we're not on a meter, but I like to do my bit to conserve supplies in summer).
*Finish last tiny bit of stitching & may get round to starting the beading on this birthday gift I'm working on.
Free entertainment watching 2 woodpigeons who have built the silliest, most rubbish nest EVER in the tree outside our kitchen window. If even one egg manages to survive a single night in that, without rolling off into our birdbath, it will be more than the numpties deserve.
OK, must crack on.
Love F xx

Think I'll be adding raspberries to my list of "things that don't agree with me"

*sigh*

Oh well, feeling better now after a few hours of queasiness. Dagnammit it's hot today!

Baileys_Babe · 26 June 2018 at 8:03PM

As well as completing everything on today's list we have unpacked the snack bag and the bags with the children's packed tea & dealing with the contents - putting things away, in the bin or to wash up as appropriate. I have put away most of the shopping just a little more to do when I finish on here. I'm also thinking ahead to tomorrow when we have another busy day to see what we can do this evening to make tomorrow run smoother.
I don't have any RM survey items to post tomorrow which will make it easier.

I'm looking forward to the children getting back from martial arts training so we can have pudding, I'm planning on having some HM chocolate brownie.

Have a good day everyone. Purps.

Morning purps

fingers crossed for an early finish for you - go on make it happen! We're only effective for a certain amount of the day, be super efficient and then go home with halo shinning

Today I'm supposed to be meeting up with a friend from work. We haven't made any plans of what we're doing yet, but she's been having a rough time. Part of me is hoping she bails so I can potter in the garden & do some sewing!

I have a blouse I made on Sunday (refashion from a man's shirt) but I haven't been happy with the fit. It's been percolating in my mind since and I think I've worked out what I need to do

Today I have/will:

* read martin's email
* OLB and did a transfer
* call luvabella manufacturer
* sort out life ins. Today will be the day!
* Go and join pool at a hotel with a sauna. £80 for 6 months use!
* divvy up rubber chicken. Freeze some
* make batch of shortbread for madam
* repot toms - need to give these some love as sewing has replaced my love of gardening!

Think that will keep me busy!
