* Check bank account :eek:

* Washing on line...not sure if its drying but hey ho!

Today I have:

Home-made sandwich lunch (bread was even on special offer!)
Charged my mobile at work
Chose the cheaper of two birthday cards that I liked
Wrote to Egg to complain about the increase in my interest rate (not that it'll make any difference)

Have a great afternoon everyone!

Good afternoon all! Feeling bit low and grotty today...but this thread has cheered me up no end!

Fay - I am so jealous of your socks..even if they aren't really yours!

KTjazz - I get call paranoia...I always check my phone hasn't accidently called anyone before I speak about anything remotely juicy/gossipy. When I was about 18 I was at college with a group of my friends telling them all sorts of details about my boyf (ahem!) Little did I realise however that my mobile had accidently called the boyf's house phone from inside my bag and his mum had heard every word! Didn't dare go to his house for about a month afterwards! She found it hilarous though and still does...I'm marrying the said boyf next year!

Today I have/will:

• Been to work
• Had packed lunch
• Home working this afternoon as feel bit rubbish
• NSD
• Online banking
• Browse ebay for xmas presents for OH and dad
• Birthday tea for my mum tonight at my auntys

From HM revenue and customs site:

The Rent a Room scheme
If you already have a lodger or are thinking about letting furnished rooms in your home, you can receive up to £4,250 a year tax-free (£2,150 if letting jointly). This is known as the Rent a Room scheme.

Tax free income sounds good to me;)

Not much today, except...

1. Chasing the travel agent for a refund on our holiday which we've cancelled.

2. My car is due for it's MOT tomorrow and I have a feeling it won't be a good one!! OH went to three scrapyards this morning looking for some bits he thinks it might need and found them all, for the grand price of £1! :j Now we just have to keep everything crossed that tomorrow isn't toooo expensive!!

Well the car finally passed it's MOT at an added 125.80 on top of Saturdays' 151.97:eek::eek: Just as well I held the money back from the saddle fund. Very disappointed that my cc will go up this month... I shall sparkle from this point onwards, I've got some money in paypal and will use it to clear these horrible expenses.

On sending texts to the wrong people...

I once sent a text to my very straight laced German colleague telling him I loved him, missed him and and couldn't wait to be rude with him (intended for OH). The worst bit (if it can get any worse) is that I was going to the German office the next day. Anyway, he called immediately in a bit of a flap and asked if I was ill!!!!:o
Charming!

We never really got over it and I think he carries a bit of a torch for me now - totally unrequited of course!

This has idled in page 4 for too long!!
Nearly had a NSD - story of my life - but ended up spending £1.10 at the library of all places on cds my DS was borrowing.
Managed a free lunch at work, ermm and that's it for today.
Glad to hear you are all sparklyish - will do my best to sparkle tomorrow
