    Thank you so much everyone who got back to me re: checking online banking. It's logical really to check, if I had done this last month then I wouldn't have been charged £22 for going overdrawn-overdrawn.:eek: My shins are black and blue where I kicked myself. I was so busy doing MS jobs, snowballing, checking CC's that I didn't even think to check.
    Total debt Feb 2012 = £54354.11 😳

    Morning All,

    Lovely day here - it was bright at 6:30 today when I woke up! :D

    I need to get organised, as I am giving myself a week off (I am unemployed ~ like many others, and need to get back to work for my sanity).

    Today I have/Will:
    • Checked my bank account, and moved odd money to my savings account
    • looked through my seed packets, and realised that most of them need to be planted
    • need to continue college work
    • work on the job application
    • plan a weeks food - I am off to WW in a mo, so this week should be a bit more easy to plan
    • chill and catch up on sleep
    • offer seeds/plants to a friend who is living the good life
    • need to pay my housekeeping
    • submit my timesheet (this was on yesterday's list but I fell asleep)
    • try to have a LSD, however, mum wants to go to the garden centre
    • recycle paper (ie print on both sides - if something happens to the paper and I do not need it turn it over and use it as a message/workings pad)
    • hand washing outside (if the weather permits)
    • put washing on to run overnight
    • catch up with friends on facebook/email

    Think that is about it

    Take care, and hello :hello: to everyone who posts today.
