    Morning All

    Im feeling ok today, not going in to work though,

    I felt so ill i let the cats sleep on my bed last night. Which was nice until 4am when they wanted me up, and then 6.am when they thought i was late for work! lol

    Finally got up just now, and i feel so tired.

    Wohoo for the scratch card MM.

    Jen - great news about the shed.

    YB - that Lion King is meant to be ace.

    enjoy your day home amy!

    the nsd thing has been really good for me now on some days my bank balance stays the same!! yeah!! the only thing i find is if i spend it is not low spends i buy milk cheese etc then because i have made it a spend day i am happy to spend more so it probablt balances out! i used to vistit tesco several times a week which is silly as there is only 2 of us and now i just got thursday or fridays!! which has really helped me with my spending! i think i will carry one with nsd challange i am enjoying it. maybe you aimed to high for the first go at it mm?

    Well I failed miserably today in terms of what bought but I didn;t spend a lot of real money.

    I bought myself a new winter coat and jumper from Next but only paid £4 as I used up my gift card balance. Never would I think nothing of spending £60 o a coat usually lol but it was a nice feeling to know it wasn;t my money
    I also spent £6.88 in pizza hut but it was yummy lol
    Now back to writing the reviews this afternoon to get some more points for amazon vouchers

    what a bargain day yukki!!! well done you..mmmmm pizza :-)
    Glad you're feeling a bit better Amy.

    yet another spend day as had to get petrol..and ended up going to sainsburys and buying carp like mags and choc never mind! only 14 days til DF :-)
  • Good job on the coat, yukki, spending gift vouchers always feels better than cash! I've almost got enough ipoints for a £30 Debenhams voucher so will be looking for a coat for myself.

    I'm sick with nerves today... I have college again tonight, really don't feel up to it but know I have to keep going. I keep telling myself 'five and a half hours and it will all be over for today'. I know that's a really bad way to think but it makes me feel better when I'm quaking in my boots and counting down the hours until I have to be there =S
