    Hello everyone

    Back at work, boooo. 6 days this week as have taken a full day shift at PT job on Saturday. Ah well, it's all money!

    Today:

    Checked online banking, CC payment has gone through so will reallocate £70 to food account and £5 to sealed pot to cover money taken out to do laundry

    2 x scratchy (mine and BF) - 10p and 20p

    Signed up to Bookmooch last night and have already had 2 books mooched from me so will send those today.

    Will also send Greenmetropolis and Amazon sales out, and transfer remaining money after postage across to Mortgage pot.

    Storecupboard breakfast and lunch, also brought in snacks.

    BF might be working late tonight so I will have OOD quorn pie and he will just have OOD ready meal curry when he comes in.

    Go to Boots to get more Pure shower gel while it's still on 2 for £1.50 and 50 points.

    That's it I think - have good days everyone.

    Am feeling a little depressed today even though i technically have a great day lined up! However tomorrow my OH leaves to work away for at least a month so it will be hard not being with him, especially as i will miss him terribly and if all goes well it may be the start of more trips working away from home. However he needs the money so it is all good in the end i suppose!

    So today's things:
    -Have been to college, all part of big plan
    --Used the last dregs of petrol and then filled up on way home
    -Took food and drink into college so i wouldn't buy any whilst there
    -Have uploaded car with all massage gear for today's treatments
    -Off to do a mystery shop
    -Will then go to gym and do other mystery shop
    -Will then coincide it with driving it to massage treatments so that i have all trips lined up together and use less petrol.
    -Do two massage treatments so get some nice money!
    -Come home and write up reports
    -Spend what is left of the evening with OH and give him a nice relaxing massage treatment!
    -Take gas and elec meter readings
    -Get fit at gym in preperation for race for life and part of 101 challenge
    -Update spreadsheet
    -Buy something free at mystery shop
    -For lunch have extra meal made yesterday and tea will be bits and pieces taken with me and left overs when i get home.
    -Daily scratch cards

    Have a great day everyone.
