    Afternoon everyone, today is my birthday and I ordered snow:j

    Happy birthday! I got some of your birthday snow too..

    Today I:
    Brought breakfast and lunch to work.
    Have spent lunch time on forum keeping out of mischief :p
    I am NOT going out for a meal and drinks tonight with a friend (snow cancelled trains so friend can't get here) (Was going to be a DFW meal anyway as I had vouchers for Revolution BOGOF meals and drinks!)
    Something from freezer for tea.
    Errrr, that's about all! :)

    Have also transferred £6 to overdraft, now down to £70 from £120. And transferring £51 from paypal to account so will be down to £20. Good progress in one month! :)

    Sorry, not on here as often as I'd said I would be!

    Today:

    Checked online banking
    Transferred £3.49 into savings - used Paypal funds to pay for an Ebay purchase for a Xmas present but all Paypal funds are supposed to go to the joint savings.
    Transferred £1 to CC - hope they take the payment faster than last time! (14 days :eek:)
    Bought my parents xmas present from brother (lives in Moscow) - £100 theatre tokens :eek: He'll be paying me back at Christmas but still scary...
    Lunch from fridge, tea from cupboard
    Took lieu time from main job to work 5 hours at PT job. Going back to main job for a meeting on my PT job lunchbreak so effectively double pay, haha!

    Have a good day all!
