    Morning all :)

    Snow's all gone here, sort of want it to come back - it's been replaced with horrible thick ice that's trying it's very hardest to make me fall every time I go out! :mad:

    Quiet morning here today, then out with a friend at tea time, so not a lot to do, which is good.

    Only a little list today:
    • take clothes from airer and fold to try to reduce ironing pile :p
    • get up to next £1 on STP
    • find something to leave for OH's dinner, and try not to spend too much on mine tonight!
    • do any reviews available
    • money in sealed pot - passed the £100 barrier - woohoo!!! :j
    • list 10 items on Ebay
    • brave the slipperyness and walk the dog (who tries to hide whenever I take her lead out - don't think she likes the cold either!)
    • showered and organised for going out tonight - going to try not to be rushing about at the last minute as usual! :p )
    Have a great day everyone, back later! :)
    LBM - 1/12/08 - Debt £13250

    SLP Challenge - No 12 - £7.83/£50 :rolleyes:
  • I should probably use this inforced(enforced?) downtime to do ebay stuff but you really don't feel like it when you don't feel well, do you?

    I will try (if I feel up for it) to relist all the flags I have on ebay today.

    I noticed that. total pain in the a$$ because I can't overpay on my loan without penalty I have to save and then get a settlement figure which is extreamly annoying and even more so now the saving rates are pretty much zero. :mad: Makes mewonder why i should bother really does. Not tomention it a variable rate loan and the company keeps putting interest UP.:mad: :mad: :mad:

    Looks like I'll be using the last of my chicken and mince to make this improvised cottage pie so I will be poking my housemate to go and buy some more.
