    1) Checked Online Banking.
    2) Transfered £2 to my PAD challenge.
    3) Wii fitted.
    4) Bake bread for my lunch tomorrow.

    -Will then make changes to assignment, spell check, header etc and print it out!!

    - I also got a tshirt for my nephew for christmas, only £2, said 20% off, but 20% off £3.50 shouldnt be £2, but not complaining. Almost done now, just need to get a dollys pram for my DS (yes, son, he loves them and wont leave the one alone at childminders) then pretty much done (although have some birthdays in december to buy for)
    - I also got £13.50 of stuff in boots for £2.50 as I used the Loreal voucher (because I am worth it) and bought aussie miricle conditioner on points (also because I am worth it, I miss little treats like this)
    - I didnt get carpet cleaner today because i dont think i would have got time to do it, but i have washed some curtains instead. Hanging them up wet so they dont need ironing and therefore save electricity! lol

    You have my sympathies - been that way myself for a few days and facing the should I, shouldn't I eat conundrum.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
