    Back from my bargain London trip, under budget (just!) and sporting a great allergic reaction of swollen, spotty, boiling hot red face :( ( reckon I could sue Travelodge???)

    Anyhoo!

    Today I have:
    • Checked banking
    • Made payment a day challenge payments of £1.99 and £1.97
    • Checked mystery shops, picked up 1 and rescheduled 2
    • Updated spreadsheet and sig with new totals
    And I will:
    • Do 2 mystery shops
    • Use railcard to get to one, saving on petrol and parking
    • Take brother shopping in exchange for £15 petrol (doing lots of trips in the next few days)
    • Continue to paint brothers new flat - free exercise for me and MS for him!
    • Make a payment of £15 to hsbc loan, using the money from payment a day.
    • Will update later with exact London spends - very pleased with my MSE ways!
    • Keep taking the tabs and using the cream, this look is not good!

    Thanks guys, it means the world to me to pass, have failed three times before, twice when i shouldn't have been failed and have been learning on and off for four years.

    Passing this means i can get my business on the go properly and means i can get to my diploma course and start my training and voluntary work, so it really was imperative that i passed.

    Pretty amazing i did, as my flatmate decided to get up at 5.30 this morning after banging around till 12.30, so i got barely any sleep, leaving me with a headache and feeling really rough, with the last thing i wanted to do was to take my test. Infact am off back to bed now!!
