    :j:j Woohoo for Friday and woohoo for payday!! :j:j

    For me today:
    - Scratchies - good to see the Friday £1 cash log-in is back!!
    - Check online banking and credit cards
    - Working from home - saving petrol and saving my sanity (live in Devon and Fridays are a nightmare on the roads during the summer!!)
    - Submit expenses
    - Surveys
    - Bought a lovely dress for a wedding next month. Saw it in Debenhams last weekend, but was very restrained and bought it online instead with 10% off code, free delivery code (both found on MSE forums) and 4% cashback. Not very DFW, I know, but I've been to 3 weddings this year already and 'recycled' a dress I bought last year for all, so time for a new one!! :wink:

    Still love this site!!
