Apart from this, today I have / will:

HM meals from stores, including packed lunch for work

Checked online banking - as expected

Get on with consultancy report so I can finish it and send the invoice for payment (bored of it though!)

Not much of a list again, but loads of work stuff to finish off - I start my new job on Monday :eek::eek::eek:

5) Payed some cheques into the bank and B payed me £20 that she owed me.
6) Got 4 Palmolive shower gels in Boots for 35p each and paid in points.
7) Got some cheap basics in Tesco and used an extra points voucher when I paid.
8) All meals from stores.
9) Checked Quidco and looks like my £75 for car insurance is going to roll over for yet another month. :rolleyes:
10) Received £3 LVs for a survey.

- update tesco panels survey on disinfectant am trialing

hello catch up people. Had a fantastic day at my boss lady's house. Baby is just beautiful and was great to get a cuddle. She looked so well and so happy. DD away to her friends now and isnt speaking after I refused to give her a lift there LOL.

Done an update on my signature which is a bit worrying in terms of spends and how many NSD's I managed but the percentage paid of priority debts is going up nicely.

Not sure what else to do tonight. Am thinking of doing the home dye thing as off to meet a friend in Fife for the day tomorrow then back to work on Fri.

Cute puppy lying on back of sofa behind me and she is making strange dreaming noises LOL so sweet
