    Well I had a really nice weekend. Went home to Southampton Saturday and went round my friends on Saturday night. We had a few drinks, well apart from my friend who is pregnant. We saw her scan pictures and videos. Can't believe you can see it on DVD now! Could see the baby moving and its heartbeat, so sweet but a bit odd to see it.

    In terms of spending have been a little naughty. Got two pairs of shoes although OH is paying for one. He got me bright pink heals, love them! I got myself some black flat shoes for work. Then seemed to spend money on lots of random things like food, wine, a plant for friend etc.

    Have transfered just over 2 pounds today to OD fund, slowly building up the next 100 pounds.

    Managed to write a couple of reviews this weekend. Still aiming to be at redeem point by end of the month. Am off work last week of the month so can try and do a few then if I am not quite there.

    My friend is 12 weeks, things are looking good though. She had a miscarriage before so we are all a bit scared to get too excited.

    Probably won't get any review done for a couple of days as my mum is coming to stay tonight and tomorrow night. Think we might be going to the theatre or something tomorrow which will be really nice. Need to get home and do a quick clean tonight as don't want my Mum to see the place messy.

    Have worked out how much money I have left after all the things that need to come out have and is a reasonable amount. Haven't got too much planned this month so am going to do my best to keep spending to a minimum , would be fab if I had some left at the end of the month that I could put in the OD fund.

    Finally got my toluna amazon voucher today. Now only 2 pounds away from my wii fit yay! Was going to just buy it but OH said I might as well wait and get it for free. Don't think I will quite have enough for a voucher from BP this week but def will next week so at least I should be able to order it by next week. Am waiting on a voucher for a survey i did for Amazon too.

    Just did BP for the day and didn't quite make the 8000 points needed for amazon but up to 7000, so sure will make it next week.

    Am going to the theatre tonight with my mum and sister. We are going to see Jersey Boys, excited it should be good. We are going to do the orange wednesday deal at pizza express first as well.

    Went to see Jersey Boys last night with my Mum and sister. Was really good, didn't realise the four seasons did half the songs they did. Saw one of the girls out of two pints of lager sat in front of us as well so that was a mini celeb spot. My mum paid for my theatre ticket and me and my sister paid for dinner which we used vouchers for so a good night for not too much.

    Am up to 38.35 on onepoll, not far to go!

    I've always thought about going to see Jersey Boys but i didn't know anybody who'd seen it before to ask it was it like, its definitely a possible now for my list of shows i want to see. Which girl from 2pints, brown or blonde girl? or was it that very annoying girl?

    Not far at all to go to get payout from Onepoll - how long did that take you to get there? you must've checked it everyday!

    Also not long before you get your wii fit!
