    evening all

    Just back in from the first day at new job. Was really good. So much more relaxed than what I am used to which is lovely but will take some getting used to. Office is great and a long way from canteen and vending machines meaning packed lunches def the way to go.

    So far today

    had nice breakfast (pancakes and maple syrup) and a packed lunch. Currently cooking tea as per meal plan and storecupboard

    However, got quite a bit of paperwork to do now (in progress) as just been putting off for days and dd getting annoyed with me. She said if she catches me here, she will confiscate the laptop LOL

    Will also,

    - check online banking done - still skint
    - check cc statement online done
    - pay something to council tax online done
    - pay something to payment a day challenge done £45.60 on mortgage and £10 as item above
    - pigsback and quidco clicks done - almost at voucher stage for pigsback and a couple of things validated and received on quidco

    Also, need to wash my hair again....might see if dd will let me use her bathwater after her LOL just going to do now! Dont tell anyone

    Evening all, well today has been much better, thank god, because i don't do miserable well:rotfl:

    Got home and the mystery shopping company have't said anything, it was one where you have to take a photo of the meal before you eat it, so they know i bought the right thing, its just the receipt doesn't say the meal. Its just a shame as this is the first time in years this has happened and am angry with the staff member, because if i needed the receipt for business purposes, i now wouldn't be able to use that receipt for taxes etc. Not all bad though as have managed to pick up seven mystery shops tonight including two for tomorrow to a place i was going to anyway:T

    Ktjazz, glad the concert was good
    Smellyoldsock, hope your OH is ok after the op
    Hi to all the newbies on here, look forward to many more posts from you
    Oliveoyl i had a similair prob with RE yesterday, infact that was the reason i couldn't find the sandwich shop, i phoned up RE and they didn't know either! Have to say, i do like RE otherwise, have always got on well with them.
    Claireabelle, its was for a company called Business Blueprint, i actually recommend them as they are a good company and pay very well.

  • Hello all
    Been a long time since I posted but have been lurking and continue to be amazed and in awe of all of you, but particularly andans 'lists', and sophiesmum's ability to know when people need a bit of support and encouragement! :T
    Too tired to type a list, am in the middle of trying to remortgage, perhaps not a good idea in school hols (this is the only time of day I can get online - pesky kids!). :rolleyes:Everything keeps going up DD wise too - have daily meter read at the mo and have threatened to cut plug off the console if not switched off at socket! :eek:
    Thinking of Charlotte ( smellyoldsock) too as she seems to have a lot on at the moment.:A
    Belle -x-
    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.

    Hi all wave.gif

    Today I have:

    Done piggyclicks
    • Eaten breakfast and dinner at home from storecupboard
    • Checked online banking
    • Paid in wages from 2nd job – making current account look much healthier…and transferred £200 across to savings account! :T
    • Charged mobile phone at work
    Non-DFW, I took a colleague out to lunch today because she is leaving on Friday and I can’t go to her leaving drinks on Thursday evening… However, lunch was under £20 (including a tip!) for the two of us for food and drinks – a round of drinks at the official "leaving drinks" would probably have been between £30-40 (City of London extortionate prices!!:eek: :mad: :eek: ), so it was kind of DFW and MSE in a way, do you think…?!?! :rolleyes: :confused::p
