    Hi all

    I don't mean to be a party pooper here but should we be advocating using the company electricity to charge your phones? I would have thought that this was stealing if you have not asked - but then I am assuming you haven't! :o

    H

    Hermoine - yes we are allowed to charge our mobiles at work - and indeed we do use them for work some times.

    Hi All,

    Welcome back Sophiesmum - missed you

    Still feeling a little bit ill after the bubonic plague!!! - so still spending money on hot drinks at work etc, but slowly weaning myself off them!!!

    Today I have
    • Eaten breakfast on the way to work (tesco value porridge and value honey)
    • Worked an hour's overtime before work (7am - 8am)
    • Made a sandwich for lunch (forgot the crisps though - had to buy them)
    • Worked out on Friday I would have 1/2 day rather than whole day off work (5hours paid and I leave at 12pm)
    • resisted the urge to buy something nice in M&S instead bought a bottle of orange juice and a chocolate bar (instead of pudding)
    Other things
    • went to a local salon and had hair ripped out from my underarms, top lip, eyebrows, neck, cheeks and chin (hurt like hell, and my face was on fire) - I expected it to be £50:eek: but it was £30 (plus £5 tip)
    • looked at my bank account and realised that the travel agent has not taken their money - If it has not gone on Saturday morning, I will go down there and pay cash (we leave Sat evening)
    Think that is about it, will try to have a NSD tomorrow.

    Take care

  • Hello all, especially sophiesmum. Glad to see the poorly ones are mostly on the mend.
    Not much today but it was a NSD.
    Nice to see all the enthusiasm for DFWness - if only it wasn't so tiring :rolleyes:
    Keep up the good work, bye for now

    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.
  • After a long day, I've at last manged to check Piggy and I've won 2000 points! Woo hoo!
    Not much moneysaving today really - walked back home from work;
    That was it.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
