Shame about the fine Urg, why are these people working so late on a Saturday anyway!!

I also have a car that needs a good wash, did think about it but realised flat mate moved out and took her bucket and sponge so thats enough of an excuse to put it off for a bit longer!!

Am reminding myself that Sunday is my day of rest today, always difficult to get my head round that one!! However i am going to have a lovely day as am off to do my massage swap and so will feel nice and pampered whilst other half waits in for foreign student who hasn't bothered to let us know what time he is arriving.

Today's plans:
-Done some lovely boring household jobs!!
-Put some lose change in 101 pot
-Sorted out a whole host of paper work and filed away, means i am up to date a bit more now and i can find things
-Dug out receipts i have to send back for gym mystery shops which are now over.
-Planted another set of seeds and covered in cling film, so here's hoping i get some more babies coming through soon
-Done daily scratch cards - fed up of winning 10p though!!
-Off to massage swap later and will get a free treatment, plus i'll get to practice my deep tissue massage on her
-I will get free lunch at her place, so makes up for the cost of driving out there
-Make meals from storecupboard and manage another day of avoiding the shops!!
-Update 101 blog
-I have read some of book for free entertainment
-Heating is off, so helps with the bills, OH may finally be grasping the idea that it isn't cold!!
-Have put away clothes off bedroom floor so that i don't automatically stick in washing basket
-I will do a review of finances to see what i now have
-check online banking
-Move some money around
-Upload scanners
-Drive economically as i am trying to eek the petrol out as long as possible!
-Do weekly plan so i know where i am at
-Do a reveiw of all courses etc, so i know where i am at with all of these
-Review business finances
-I have continued using up beauty products, almost finished several more
-Unload car of all the carp in there!
-Fill up more bottles of water so i have plenty to take out and about with me
-Get folders sorted out for college tomorrow

Then enjoy the rest of the day with OH and foreign student who will arrive at some point. Have a great day everyone.

Update going to clean the car with the pressure washer at mum and dads house as it really is that dirty.

3rd load is out on the line drying i wonder how much it would of cost in the tumble dryer?

When i get my new place im seriously thinking anout not having a tumble dryer as its amazing how many things you throw in there to save time.
