Afternoon everyone, first time I've managed to get onto the thread as I've been up to my eyes in birthday cards and the likes....I didn't realise I shared my birthday with you hamsterpoo so...............
Today I've not done a lot, definately not a NSD:rolleyes:- Banked some birthday money for the sewing machine I've been waiting for. MIL is coming with me to choose one when I next see her:T
- Washing hokey cokey
- Treated myself to a new Xbox360 controller battery (only cost me £5 instead of £10) as mine died during the week:mad:
- Sorting a little birthday party for myself and my nephew (it's his birthday next Tuesday but he's going to Disney in Paris....lucky thing!!)

it's so blue and shiny and nice smelling
it's sort of DFW because i didn't get a finance deal or loan...and because our payrise is quite big this year it pretty much covers the tax cost etc (I keep justifying it!!)
Glad your car arrived in one piece:D I Love that new car smell:j :j- enjoy it xx0 -
Bagpuss, i love Coldcase!! My family got me into it and ever since then i try and watch it all the time!!
I have done some more work in the garden today, not exactly dfw, but we are thinking of moving later in the year and so its important the garden is in a decent state to get our money back and we are hoping to use it during the summer so hopefully save on trips out!!
Also posted back lovefilm dvds, free trial finishes soon but i will probably continue with it, as i am watching the 50 greatest films as part of my 101 challenge.
Another birthday celebration, happy birthday nunnygirl!
Forgot to say, another no spend day for me, thats 3 in a row so far!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Hi All :hello:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAMPSTERPOO :j :bdaycake:
Hope you have a fantastic day!
Not done much today, however I am now starting shifts at the restaurant tonight and I feel more nervous about tonight than I did on my trial shift, don't know why. Basically going from one work to the other tonight and eating in the car before hand. I would normally be able to go to OH's parents first but he is not there till later so feel a bit cheeky doing that and when I move in 3 and a half weeks I can just go home before hand as it will be just down the road.
Other than that today:
Checked online banking - all ok.
Checked for mystery shops.
Drive carefully to conserve petrol.
Posted another book I sold on Amazon.
Hmm, the list is alot smaller than I thought, lol. Nevermind, it's Friday tomorrow, yippee!:j :j
