    Sorry to hear that debrag - have you thought of getting the vent blocked up?

    Morning guys!

    Cant believe we are on day 6 of the new year!! Have just checked online banking and nothing has gone out today, so no change to signature as yet:) Spreadsheets are now updated with all yesterdays spends and it all looks nice and healthy:)

    Should be staying in most of today except school runs, lots to do at home and I am waiting for a load of deliveries!

    Better crack on.....have a great day everyone!

    Morning.

    Was actually warmer in work yesterday than it was Sat. Am in again today 12-5, will be a long afternoon, normally do 10-3 but someone is on hoiliday. But still we are still working. Our town is becoming a bit of a ghost town with all the failing shops.

    Debrag, definatly block your vent up. When I get really cold in the shop I am so tired when I get home and end up doing nothing but cooking dinner. Roll on spring.

    Have a good day everyone.

  • Woo hoo, glad they arrived Jamie. If you want anything like that again please just pm me. Seriously it cost nothing as I usually have spare card floating around in my craft cupboard anyways :)

    Sorry you had to spend an earth for bread, we have a breadmaker here and bread is so pricey now (because you know you can make it cheaper) :rolleyes:

    Hi Guys:wave:

    Where has the week gone? Cant believe we are day 9 of 2009 and the 4k challenge!

    So far have spent £98.36. In January I have budgeted £19.08 per day x 8 days is £152.64, so I am well under to date:)

    Scored an excellent deal yesterday, renewed my home phone and broadband package and saved a total £215.40 for the year. Added into this that before I never used my landline because I didnt have a deal on calls, now I have free evening and weekend calls:T This should mean I can now downgrade my mobile package as I wont need to use it to phone out so much now I have free calls:D Therefore saving even more money!!!:j Hopefully when my mobile contract ends in november I can move over to PAYG:)

    Having a day at home today, bit of cooking and housework to do, might pop into town briefly to pick up a free dvd rental from blockbuster as I have a friend round tomorrow night, gives us something to watch:)

    Hope everyone has a good day!!!
