    Morning all!

    I caved this morning and bought my iPod
    ipod-108.gif

    I get paid on Friday and the money won't come off my account until then - I also want to make sure I get Moneyback on that purchase before I close my Moneyback account!

    So, my plans for the day are:

    • Have a NSD - I just bought an iPod for goodness sake, probably shouldn't spend anything else today!
    • Check online banking
    • Make PAD - £6! Impressive given that it's two sleeps until payday :rotfl:
    • Breakfast and dinner at home
    • Bring lunch and hot water to work
    • Take new phone to work to charge - has to have a full charge before I can use it
    • Transfer all of my pictures etc on to my new phone
    • Use website to get money for old phone (I think it's worth about £50!)
    • Go to Orange Wednesday movie - me and the Boy will both get in for nothing :T
    • Washing at 30 degrees
    And I think that's it for me, I'm really tired this morning, I might need a nap before I go out later :rotfl:

    Just quickly - as I really should put some make-up on before I scare the people at work :rotfl:

    My new iPod (*squee*) is a silver 120gb Classic. As I bought it through the Apple Store, it is also engraved, and you can have two lines of engraving. Mine will bear the legend:

    moo : o )
    I know that people will ask about that when I show them it, but I don't care, just typing that made me cheery yahoo.gifyahoo.gifyahoo.gifyahoo.gif

    I have done quite a few things, but not as much as I wanted to today. I did get to go to my best friends house and play with her tiny new kitten who is just the cutest thing in the whole world, and seemed to want me to be her new friend :D I wish my cats were still kittens - we got them when they were six, so missed out on all the kitteny goodness :rotfl:

    We went to see The Wrestler at the movies tonight, which is really good, but quite sad and ended a little too quickly for me. Definitely worth a watch though. I'm also planning on seeing Frost/Nixon, Milk and Seven Pounds in the next week or two (Woo for my cinema pass!) so if anyone sees any of those films let me know how they are.

    Bed for me now. *yawn*

    Night all :D

    Morning all!

    Just a quick update from me before work with my plans of things to do today!

    • Check online banking
    • Make PAD
    • Boots sale is back online :j so have bought boyfriend's sister's boyfriends birthday present (Confused?!) and also something quite nifty for t'other halfs birthday. Things kept flying out of my basket though, which was pretty annoying!
    • Go to Boots at lunchtime and buy things with my work vouchers so I don't have to spend real money
    • Sort out phone once and for all
    • Washing
    • Take lunch and flask to work
    • Make nice homemade dinner
    I think that's all from me. Have a lovely day everyone!

    The Boots sale was infuriating last time :rotfl: things kept leaping out of my basket too.

    In the end I was shovelling things into my virtual basket as fast as possible and getting to the virtual checkout before I lost any more :rotfl: But my panic buying spree did net me some very useful presents for birthdays through the year and even for Christmas. I spent £42 and the original price was £168 :j :money:
    My nephew should be very pleased with his Hacket set for his 18th, there's no way I'd have spent £44 on it :rotfl: but £11 was good :D
