    So a going out weekend but a very unspendy weekend. :j

    Didn't go out on Friday, good job as I would have got blown home!
    Went out on Saturday to meet a few people - Below is what I was hoping was going to happen.

    7. Try out new social events for 6 months - Have joined another two social groups. Likely to be going out with a friend tonight to one of those. I'm hoping she'll drive so I can drink

    She didn't...I did. Annoyed me a bit...didn't even get to toss a coin! Mind you the evening cost me a bit of petrol and about a fiver so can't really complain. But I will all the same ;)

    Last night I went to see 'Inside Llewyn Davis' a Coen Brothers movie which was like Groundhog Day but over a week. Did make me feel better about having a job and a room and not just a sofa! Drove for that too so a friend could get home after the last bus!

    How are we doing on claiming back?

    In terms of list of money collecting;

    Money back from the company's medical policy for glasses £20 Done
    Tax on an election I worked a couple of years ago £60
    Final bill and loyalty payment from First Utility c. £200 Done
    Vouchers from my nightmare train journey last weekend Done
    A replacement bra for the faulty one I bought.....Replacement in the post and £5 put back on my card
    Mileage tax back to be done tonightEven better than not bad
    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    I walked to the pub last night. Three miles...wanted some fresh air and exercise. Thing is I think it took me the same time as it would to run it.

    How depressing!

    So.....here we are in the library....you can always tell when I'm in the library because the lettering is sometimes BIG and colourful and these things appear :j:j:j:beer::beer::beer::T:T:T:T:T:T:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

    Day off work today and tomorrow :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T
    Have delegated to what is effectively my new boss :rotfl: (I appear to now have two bosses and an ex-boss aka guide / advisor. My new boss gave me permission to do a load of boring data entry gov't forms stuff on Monday so I didn't have a nervous breakdown yesterday. He is also coming to a meeting on one of my projects on Monday (not one of his) to guide me and make sure all bases are covered. I have nice bosses :D

    Have shifted a fiver I got back from the return/exchange of a bra on to the Mr Branson card. Will not be paying any more off my HSBC card because this is its position;

    HSBC CC £4404 Currently £382
    and my O/D is also at 18% and seems to incur MORE CHARGES than the card!!!!! So am now paying it off at the end of the month/same time as next pay day and it acts as a brake on my spending on the current account. Do have the money coming in (hopefully) from the claim to the electric/gas company so will pay that and see

    Now off for BEER :beer: for two days :beer::beer:
