    Saved a bit today by not going to the pub to watch United but instead watching on incredibly legal website that was showing it....:D

    Entered a few more competitions from Cineworld magazine and Cheshire Life magazine (picked up free at Brand New You show yesterday)

    Got 3 packs of Chorizo in Tesco reduced to 59p each - methinks the SA didn't realise it's not 11th Feb....!

    Well, i have managed to almost complete my list, am just off to do my blog and check out the veg seeds and fruit bushes and then that is me completed. I have had a trully productive day but have caught up with so much and my bedroom is looking like a new room. I am really beginning to like 2009.

    Extra things i have done:
    -Ordered compost bin for 101 things challenge
    -Phoned back a potential client who had phoned me
    -Used up lots of old veg for tea, including veg i bought before christmas, thank goodness it keeps well in the fridge. Previously i would have just chucked it out.

    I will go do my last bits and pieces before heading off for a nice hot bath! Hoope everyone else has had a good day.

    Shame about work for you paul, hope you get the pump sorted and can get back to making money, it must be tough when these things happend, my OH is self employed so can understand some of the frustrations.

    Morning all,

    I haven't had a lot of sleep, so I'm not too hopeful about how productive I am going to be, but my aims for today are:

    • [strike]Washing hokey-cokey HSwash.gif[/strike]
    • [strike]Check online banking[/strike]
    • [strike]Make PAD[/strike]
    • [strike]Post parcels for Ebay, Amazon and musicmagpie[/strike] (It was too wet to walk to the Post Office yesterday!)charrain.gif
    • [strike]Clean kitchen[/strike] HSdishes.gif
    • [strike]Make dinner and lunch at home[/strike]
    • [strike]Onepoll surveys[/strike] HStype.gif
    • [strike]Do top-up shop at Asda[/strike] shop.gif
    That's all so far, but it could improve later on when I have had more coffee coffee.gif
    Yay, I have done all of the things on my list. Well, technically I can't really count cleaning the kitchen as I tricked t'other half into it :D

    The weather here is Armageddon-like, so my best pal agreed to drive me to Asda to post my parcels and get my shopping. This meant I could get heavy things like tatties and cat litter :jand she only charged me a packet of cookies (98p from Asda) for the lift. I also got one of the cookies. So, she is cheaper than a taxi and twice as nice :rotfl::rotfl:

    See you all tomorrow!
