Yeah, me tooI was fine yesterday but have relapsed today. Had to call in sick to work which I don't like doing but I don't think the wonderful general public would want me amongst them anyway!
Today I have:- checked online banking
- updated my budget spreadsheet (looking good. have spent less than I budgeted for!)
- Done some clicks on Topcashback to add a few pennies to my total
- will spend a little time on dooyoo reading some reviews, may write another later if I can build up the energy!
- Have a duvet tucked around me on the sofa so only need the heating on low! (It is cold today)
- Spent no money as not leaving the house
- Eating no food, so groceries bought this week will last longer! (I'm trying to look on the bright side!)

OOh ebay buyers!! Have just had a snotty email off a buyer wanting to know where his item was as he hadn't received it but i had claimed it would be sent out first class post. No hello or thank you, just demanding where it was. The annoying thing is he didn't pay for ten days and only paid because i started a payment dispute!!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j
