    I've done my free clicks, made my Cheese and Marmite sandwiches (it's an added benefit that Marmite is both cheap and blessed with an exquisite, full-bodied, heavenly taste; something that I imgaine God would have on his morning crumpet) with the bread I made, the Oyster card reader didn't work on the bus this morning so I saved 90p there as well.

    It is my anniversary today though, so we're going to a nice restaurant, which will wipe this lot out fairly quickly though. But it's only once a year.

    mmmm I love marmite. I was going to go for a NSD today but I'm going to have to get some now! :p

    Hello

    I really hurt today so not much planned at all however I will aim to:

    Online banking
    Clicks
    Laundry (30) and hang dry
    Freezer dinners
    Purchase xmas pressie through quidco

    Is it me or is it really really cold today? I so want to put the heating on but I am holding firm. On a happier note my guinea pig is preggers and the babies are due any day! Hope you all have a good day!

    Although my list won't be very long today, i have quite a bit to do as i must complete my assignment today, as its got to be handed in tomorrow and my tutor, is the kind of person you wouldn want to meet down a dark alley:eek:


    So, todays list!
    -I have dried and put away rest of clothes and will get away with not ironing them!!
    -I have done the pots and cleaned the house, means my house is clean and i have more time to be productive, plus having a clean house is important as we have foreign students
    -I must complete rough draft of assignment

    -I need to type assignment up
    -Then need to go through cutting out loads of words, i always write too much
    -Will then proof read, spell check and print out counselling assignment

    -Need to sort out advertising material to give to my friend
    -Need to get in touch with friend to see if she still wants her massage tonight
    -Need to gather up and organise all my massage equipment, for tonight
    -Will give friend her massge tonight, here's hoping it being the start of many massage clients and i will get paid!
    -Also attend counselling tonight, which is compulsory for my course
    -I have looked for mystery shops
    -I will do some surveys
    -I will sort through emails

    -I will check online banking
    -I will place at least one matched bet - I have placed three matched bets today
    I have also withdrawn money from one bookie
    I will put some money in payment a day challenge

    Think thats all for me today, as i need to do a good job on my assignment. Have a great day everyone.
