This morning I'm trying not to want to go out and batter the workmen cutting blocks of stone for my neighbours monoblocking which is making every part of my home and my headache shake right now.

Ha ha! I actually did shout at the builders on the way to work this morning for throwing things about too loudly - I don't think they understood the extent of my hangover as they just laughed!!

I blame this money saving for my hangover as well normally I would of been happy with a large glass of red - but last night resorted to a "store cupboard" drinking fest which ended up with shots of triple sec... that's really scraping the barrell!! (I have to point out I'm not normally a drinker!)

Made my BF play singstar with me until the early hours of the morning (poor neighbours) but didn't spend any money ha ha

It's a bit early to think still but today

*Charge phone at work
*Check online banking - payday :T
*Make all online payments (There goes most of my money)
*Limit myself to a £1 for the day
*Phone about CTax (again!)
*Not drink any alcohol

Hope you have a good day! :A

Morning all.

Not been around for a couple of days as I have had a naughty spendy weekend down in London. My Icesave money is making my current account look healthier than it actually is at the moment but it doesn't help that I'm owed over £600 from various sources. I know I'll get the money back but it's just a matter of when I'm hoping I can recall some to go and pay in the bank on Thursday.

Anyway, last night/this morning I have:

* Had no tea last night as I just wasn't hungry. Not like me at all but definitely money saving!
* Checked online banking and worked out who owes me what.
* Checked my diary and tried to budget for the rest of the month. I don't get paid until 19th December and I have a weekend away and work's Christmas party before then! I think I'll be avoiding the pub as much as possble.
* Had breakfast at home... luckily I finished it before the cat came and sat on my knee and promptly trumped. :shocked: The smell was still lingering when I left the house. She was sat looking smug.
* Brought lunch into work which includes some HM yoghurt.
* Brought my lovely pink DS into work to charge. I was going to sell it but I got using it again so I'm going to keep it now.

Today I will:

* Have a LSD... or NSD if my dear OH pays for my tea.
* Work out if my planned savings budget for next year is feasible seeing as my student loan statement arrived yesterday and they're adding around £20 a month interest on to the figure I owe. The SLC would be the first lot up against the wall for me come the Glorious Revolution
* Do surveys as they come in.
* Keep smiling.

Hope everyone has a good day

Thanks! A couple of cups of tea have sorted me out... though I'm now suffering the "i can't be bothered to do anything" after effects!

Hmmmm. Have definitely got pre-payday blues adn it's not even close to my payday. I think I've got pre-Hubby's-payday blues!

Anyway. I got paid yesterday by the deli but it went straight out again on my travelcard, so that was nice for five minutes. Today I will:

Eat a packed lunch
check online banking
Going out tonight to meet a friend; we've already decided to eat cheap and I'm only going to have a glass of wine rather than sharing a bottle like we would have once.
Try to list a few more books on Amazon. I can manage to do it at work as I might be researching stuff if I'm on an amazon page, whereas I really can't get away with it when I'm ebaying!
