    Oooh I love payday. So much excitement. From now on all my pay will be immediately swallowed by bills though so only have NIMs to look forward to. His first one soon though, exciting stuff. Here's hoping its not less than we're expecting!

    Why is it so hot and sunny everywhere except where I am?! Gah! Not that I'm complaining though, at least it's a bearable heat in the office.

    Definite Monday morning feeling here too, was out of the office for a day and a half at the end of last week so obviously I've got a million emails to catch up with. A colleague's Dad also died over the weekend so he won't be in, and we're looking at flowers from Interflora and it's looking like £30 for a basic bunch and there's only three of us in so that's an expense I could do without, but obviously I'll pay it.

    Having as bit of a panic about money at the minute, got my car insurance renewal quote and I'd forgotten that was even coming up, on top of needing spending money for the holiday in 2 weeks and Alton Towers this weekend. Made £77 on ebay last night, was a bit disappointed that my bags didn't go for more as I had loads of watchers. Should've been unscrupulous and got OH to bid them up a bit but I'm too nice. Still, with that and the £11 I got recycling my phone and the £50 I had in £2 coins, that's a good chunk of Euros taken care of I suppose!

    Has everyone had a good weekend?

    It's very hot here! I was in London for Hard Rock Calling on Saturday and it was scorchio! I couldn't believe it when I got home and saw all the flash floods on the news.

    I saw some Blur coverage from Glasto and it looked great! I saw them first time around and was quite jealous of you seeing them, Tete! Sounds like you made a fair bit of spending money this weekend :D I know what you mean about ebay though - I got my OH to bump up a couple of my items last time and I felt really bad afterwards, even though it was only about £4!

    Hope your cat gets better soon, Dinah! Well done on hitting (and surpassing) the 10% mark on your house deposit too :T

    ps. meant to say your fashion show photos are great, Wendz! The charity chic looked good :)

    Its a good payday as getting my backpay for my pay increase. That will soon go though after rent, bills etc. Also paid for a trip on holiday on credit card that we now need to pay for and some tickets I am buying off a friend. Still left with a little more than normal which is great.

    Well done one the bags Tete, a good amount even if you were hoping for more. Sounds like an expensive month for you!

    Thanks Poddle! Was a fun night.

    My ebay day yesterday was kind of decimated by poor kitty being ill, then grandparents coming over, then NIM whineing he had man-flu, so that is now the plan for tonight, again.

    Don't know how people dare to use their OH to bump up ebay bids - what if he ends up winning it?!
