It's not rocket science, so why don't I get it?

Glad the pub crawl with Captain went well, it sounds like fun and nice and leisurely.

Great deal on the rug, who cares if were common if we get given nice things!!

Hope your having a great start to 2009

...love being common, just plucking up the nerve to tell her that the £200 rug she bought her horse doesn't suit him, makes his complexion look sallow :rotfl:I'd actually feel terrible if she believed me, but she is such a snob, it'd almost be worth it:rotfl:Stop it Piq, you're being very naughty;).....

Have realised that I haven't updated my Quidco bank details so my 77.65 payment will go to my other bank account, it's no big deal but I think I will just transfer the payment across to my Nat West credit card rather than the A&L one. As long as the overall total debt falls, I'm happy. Made another 2.50 on the scratchcards, hopefully, the 20.00 I withdrew arrives in the right bank account this week

My personal fridge/storecupboard challenge was a success, I haven't been shopping since 23 December! Tonights dinner will be a potato onion and cheddar bake, double portion for freezing!

Lastly, filled the car with petrol at Tesco as they're doing double points

Now off for a hot bath, I'm very cold after being outside nearly all day, followed by a large glass of wine...

Very proud of that Mickey, first time I've been so focused on doing something and probably the first time I haven't thrown any food away as well!

Nothing major to report, it is Sunday afterall!

Updated my spreadsheet and sent it to myself at work, so I can update at lunchtimes.

About to start a cook-in for the week, meaning I only have to bung something in the microwave when I'm late home, saves the temptation of the takeaway demon :eek: So, a large casserole is going in the slow cooker tonight and I'll set it off tomorrow morning along with the breadmaker on the timer. Will also be roasting some butternut squash for butternut squash, goats cheese, black olives and spinach salads for lunch times. Just as well I don't mind having the same thing for a few days on the trot I picked up the vegetables at the farm shop and the rest of the bits and bobs from Tesco under budget :j

Stupidly got talked into a long hack today, 4 hours, feel like I'll never be warm again...

Feeling very virtuous as I have cleaned my tack. Shame I can't go and get it muddy as he is still lame.
