    Ms things i need to do today:
    1. Ring Halifax and ask who they want me to make the £100 cheque to deposit into my new bank account to.(Are they Hbos, bank of scot,halifax who are they?)& send it off The cheque needed to be made out to me DOH!But all done now and sent off
    2.Fill in expenses for a £6.50 train ticket i bought to go to a conf on fri Not done oopppss will do weds when im back at work
    3.Ring HSBS and cancel od-money is in the bank but if i dont cancel od i know i'll spend it.Hurrah for the the first time scince i was 18 i now dont have an overdraft!!!!!!
    4. Have a NSD oopppsss
    5. Not v money saving but i must make an appointment for a beauty salon for a facial as i got some vouchers for my birthday in may and i have to use them up by two months(so if i dont use them it's not v MS!). Yes have an appointment sat!


    So not too bad i'm afarid i was really hungry at the train station so i bought a tub of olives for £1 (plus points)at boots however while i was in there i signed up for their repeat prescription service as its free to do and they're giving 500 points to do so-so ive got the points instantly added to my card hurrah.

    However, I also bought a bottle of half price wine for 3.99 as um well i fancied it!

    Going to a hotel today to judge some students enterprise inititives which should be good, John Bird of Big Issue fame will be speaking and best of all i should be fed and watered. Its on my train route and ive printed off the directions 20mins walk so as long as i take an umbrella and water should be ok.

    Thanks to Lillmissmup ive signed up for 3 free Times mag offer with Quidco so should have £5 tracking there soon.Scratchies all done only 10p again and quidco clicks all done. And still it's not yet 6am i must be bonkers!!!!

    Goodness what have i been doing for 2hrs just mooching about the house really just weighed myself and I'm now 11st 7 sob (tub of olives & half bottle of wine not really helping matters) according to this website below im overweight

    http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyweightcalculator.aspx?r=1&rtitle=Interactive+tools+-+BMI+tool

    Ive put on 4lbs in a matter of weeks i was hoping to loose that amount, but ive been having trouble with my thyroxine tablets (for an underactive thyroid) as they were making me feel anxious so i stopped taking them for a few days and ive ballooooooooonned!! (ok large meal on fri night prob hasn't helped either!)

    I want to loose 2stone but i'll take it baby steps first quest is to get below 11st as feeling your tummy wobbling as you're walking isn't a good thing.

    Littlewoods bingo and Quidcos high st web are down so i must do those later to get my 14p ha ha!
    Today i'll package and send book off-I have loads of 2nd class stamps that my mums work dont use anymore so she gave them to me so it should be free postage. I dont seem to have added to the savings pot recently i suppose quidco & surveys take time to come through dont they? Do't get paid again until 3 weeks tme and my bank balance isn't looking too good esp as Oh has asked to borrow £50 to last until he gets paid.humph!

    HI Cocalls

    Well done on selling the book and getiing rid of the overdraft, I know what you mean about losing weight i really need to but same as you keep getting lots of yummy things for free and well it would be plain rude to refuse it.

    Hi miemie how's tricks? Well i only really got rid of Od as i was a dozy mare and didn't realise how much i had in an isa! But I've done the really hard work of transfering it across and making the phone call to close it down i suppose tee hee.
    Yes free things are evil i was at a conf yest and had 4 cake/bun type things because they were there and free and well i have no self control when free things are put in front of my face now things i have to pay for thats another matter!

    SO scratch card done up to £6.50 on that, Quidco clicks and banking checked all ok £100 cheque has gone out for Halifax. Sent off the book and the paperwork for Egg savings-jobs a good un.

    Made a truley hideous sponge cake yest with the idea of taking some to work over the nxt few days-its just about edible w/ loads of jam on it but i dont know where i went wrong!

    Been away from MSe for a bit as decided i wanted a break and the fact that i made a valid comment on someones diary and they took offence and discussed me on anothers diary didn't help matters.

    Ho hum don't have anything really to update as haven't added to the savings but haven't spend on the cc either. Requested the £3 from green met so that should take 10 days to come through!!
    But the good thing is that ive set up an egg savings account and am going to start paying £10 into that for now for a pressies/xmas/hols fund this will go up once the cc is paid off, but its also enabled me to have egg money manager so i can see whats happening with my 12 (yes 12!!!) accounts-no wonder i was getting a little lost!!!
