I had CAPITAL LOCK on just now and only realised HALFWAY THROUGH MY POST ON THE DAILY chat.

nope mine works

Still not spent anything.....but really really really want chocolate or cake or biscuits. Not fussed which!!

Have cancelled my voice mail on my phone, so that removes the chance of increased phone bills.

But I still want chocolate.......**sulks**

Hiya! Can You Do Me A Big Favour, Hypno - okay, I can't do that any more! Can you do a linkie to wherever you find those codes, or point me to which board or something? I don't get it - and I'd love to!

Oh Hyno - and I've eaten my half a mars bar.]

Oh - I forgot - I bought some snack size time outs for the next three weeks lunches (14 bars for £1 - i bank holiday = 14 requried for 3 weeks). I'm sure I can spare you one...


catch.....

(an I hope you do better than Alistair Cook)

there you go KC!

Peb, perfect catch you will be pleased to know! (can't imagine I would let chocolate slip through my fingers, can you!) Thanks x

You're going great guns on that list ..well, done and well done on the overpayment.

hypno06

Thanks taxi....only a small overpayment, but still an overpayment nevertheless!

Still trying to resist chocolate.....:o

So, almost time to leave the office, and I have still not spent anything, so now I need to extend that into the evening so I can celebrate another NSD! Wish me luck because it means avoiding the coffee shop while waiting for the kids to ski.....!

Forgot to mention a "see film first" success today - 4 tickets for the children to go with their friends to see a film on Tuesday - an excellent summer hols treat for them and it won't cost anything because they will take popcorn that they can make at home :T

Also got my L&G ISA statement in today - I thought I had only paid in 2 months, but I have actually paid in 3, so it is worth (very slightly) more than I thought it was, even taking into account the crappy market......bonus

Also, OH has got enough toluna points for another £12 HMV voucher, and has requested £20 to paypal from lightspeed (although that generally takes aaaaaages!) We are 20 piggy points away from the next £10 voucher there, so that will hopefully happen next week!

Hurrah for MSE!!!

That's about it I think........enjoy the Olympics

So, all accomplished! Plus I managed a bonus NSD today (but it was really difficult because I could quite happily have bought chocolate or cake, or coffee, or all three!).....so I am very pleased with myself.

Also, managed to pick up a mystery shop for next week.

And OH has bagged a bundle of shifts for his second job for the next couple of weeks, so that is very welcome news indeed.
