    Morning guys - OH has been paid from his second job today so have managed to settle the "shortfall" in the budget and have £200 left over to put towards the HSBC card - so that card now stands at £2062.75.....getting there. I can colour in 4 squares when I get to work today and I have updated my signature and snowball accordingly. I may be able to pay some more off later today, if things go according to plan, but we shall wait and see.

    No mystery shops to do today - but I have done 11 in the last fortnight!!

    It is Friday, and we have survived another week......I think that calls for a latte and a small cake :D

    Hi Kat when you went to the C.A.T did you see the gas bottles the caters use? Not very alternative.

    Ah.... not perfect. I think I'd be inclined to forgive them the lapse, considering what they do, tho. I like the way they do actual research: they don't use batteries any more, for instance - they sell to the National Grid when they have surplus, and buy back when they have a need, so the National Grid *becomes* their batteries. And they've done research on a theory about smooth water flow affecting the growth of plants fed with it (it doesn't seem to) - all sorts of stuff. It sounds like you were there, tho - did you like it on the whole? I have to nail my flag to the mast and say I adored it, but their taste in decoration is definitely questionable.... I'd want a much smoother modern look for any place I lived in.
