    Hi All

    Hugs to Sophiesmum x

    Today I have/will do:
    • Made breakfast at home - Mr T's value porrigde with value honey is highly recommended (ate that in the car while hubby was driving us to work ~ 20 miles away)
    • Because I was organised and had a shower last night, I was able to spend the extra time making sandwiches and snacks for work
    • While I was at work, I managed not to spend anything ~ even got my hubby to buy me a crunchie
    • At work, managed to blag myself another hours overtime in the morning (before I start work). I normally hang around surfing the internet, but I get paid £11 something per hour = 4.5 extra hours (Friday is an early finish)
    Think that is about it, must get organinsed (showered, breakfast prepared, lunch made - then I can have a lie in tomorrow morning.

    Take care

  • I left a no7 mascara with free gift at boots to go home and retrieve my no7 voucher out of the bin ( just thought I wouldnt think twice about sifting through bin if it was a five pound note, did make sure the neighbours could'nt see me!)
  • Topped up mobile in boots for the points
    Had a small coffee from cafe nero rather than large (I know still bad!)
    Read a few magazines in WH smith rather than buy (fashion stuff)
    Saved £5 and got free p&p by using codes from this site on a DP dress
    Got a free cat storage tin in shop from a customer who said I could have it when I admired the design on his!!
    God i'm so saddddddddd
    Went to local pet store for cat treats which are 2 for 1 there but nowhere else
  • oh and fed neighbours cat and got free chocs and flowers!
  • My thoughts are with sophiesmum and family

    Well, had a good time at my induction to counseling and feels nice that things are finally moving along on the right path.

    Also had a good day as did two msytery shops today that involved me being able to buy items of clothing for myself, on those rare occasions, mystery shopping is great!!

    -Am off to put some money in payment a day piggy,
    -Have used up left over triffle
    -Will email a friend to arrange a meet up, is at least free to email!!
    -Will fill out and email back an invoice for mystery shopping.

    Hope everyone has had a good day.

    No chance of a lie in here...up at 5am, in work for 7:30

    Oh well, almost the weekend - have to book my hols thought, so will have to be up early to catch the worm.

    Just have to put some washing on, then off to bed.

    Take Care
