Actually, that reminds me. Have people seen this? http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2091689,00.html

Cheaper education for the more travel-orientated.

You take care - eating little and often is better for you than going without for long periods of time.

Believe me I never go too long without eating but just need to cut out the rubbish - sugar and fat aren't my friends right now.

Good for the lad passing his test Lou, must be a whole new set of worries though:eek:!

Just paid another £50 off - going down, slowly but in the right direction...

Apart from that I've done lots of surveys this evening, made soup for my lunches (MSE and slimming ) and found that there's £45 lovely quidco money coming my way soon

Sounds good Skinty, well done for being so focussed:)

Thanks Lou, I shall try to mantain focus for a while longer - before I become distracted by cheese or nice shoes

another night out cancelled... lots of poorly folk about (nothing serious) but it's saving me a fortune! and so another £50 winging it's way to the CC...

Having been reading lots about geocaching around here so might drag DS out and give it a go at the weekend.

Back to the five things a day out of the flat I think, it's all getting a little cluttered around here so ebay, freecycle and recycling here I come!

geocaching is a great cheapish way tp have fun

Sounds fun El, as long as it doesn't rain the whole time!

I have sorted out all the junk mail in the hall now so way more than five things gone this evening , although I did go to a$da after picking up DS so lots of yummy bread type products in the freezer now for 2p a go

Ok, have been quite good this week, have taken lunch to work every day and hardly even peeked on ebay until last night........ have a bid on a dress that was too beautiful to resist , just a little blip but such a pretty one.

Went to see Lion King 3D last night using the 40% off code, sadly the free popcorn thing on O2 seemed to have gone but got DS some sweets from supermarket instead.

Weather a bit rubbish up here but still contemplating the geocache idea if it clears up a bit.

Trying to resist the urge to pay off a bit more of the CC in case I leave myself short - still have a wedding, school hols and the rest of the month to deal with!
