    Hey guys, well it was back at work for me today, but didn't take the car as it wasn't worth risking trying to move it off the snow that had now turned into ice and still no gritters have been out:eek:

    I have booked my car in for it MOT, its the second one since i have had it but the first time i have ever taken it so am feeling very worried about it. However i have phoned up OH for some moral support and he has told me what to check etc.

    So things for today:
    -Been to work and got paid
    -Finally able to move my car once ice had melted a bit
    -Done daily scratch cards
    -Done three mystery shops
    -Lots of free food
    -No college tonight due to the weather, which has saved me a ton on petrol
    -No heating currently on and heating when it goes on it will be turned down low
    -Have cleaned out car for MOT

    -Meals from storecupboard
    -Write up mystery shopping report

    -I have done all safety checks and filled car up etc
    -I will work through emails
    -Do some surveys
    -Check online banking
    -Move some money around

    -Sort out mystery shop for tomorrow
    -Tidy bedroom for productive work space
    -
    Check for cheap london tickets
    -Continue using up beauty products
    -Play some bingo port

    -Update blog
    -Update spreadsheets
    -Read fave threads
    -Check freebie section
    -check freecycle
    -Check with friend to make sure she is coming over tomorrow night for deep tissue massage
    -I have updated website after someone twisted the words i had used on my website and asked for a service of a different kind. Am rather fed up of men thinking i provide a service of a different sort:rolleyes:
    -Have been reading lots of threads re mot and how to help make sure everything is ok for it
    -Scan shopping and put away

    Have a great night everyone.
