How weird.. I posted a letter to DCA a couple of days ago - put it in post at work with a stamp on it.. and it's just come back to me, opened! Stamped as if it's been received in another department, with my dept scribbled on the back. Thankfully it only has an account number and "yes I agree to blah blah payments" so not too embarrassing but a bit annoying it hasn't gone out - and a waste of a stamp! :rolleyes:

Aww sorry they dont send you pics after you've ordered - doh!

But the shift dress is white with black concentric rings on it, a black shirt with ruffles and 3/4 sleeves and an olive skirt above the knee with a sequined belt!

All very autumn and nice

They sound nice, especially the dress. I've got a white one with a black pattern, sort of trees/ flowers coming up from the hem (sounds weird but looks nice I think, a bit 60s), that I rediscovered in my great clearout, was thinking that would be a nice autumn thing with opaque tights and a cardi

Sneaks in.. might have bought some shoes yesterday... they were such a bargain though.... runs off to hide...

Soooo.. it's Friday! Thank goodness. Really tired, got a sore throat and generally just want to go to bed. One of my colleagues is off with possible swine flu so I'm hoping it's not that, although it would almost be good to catch it and have it out of the way

Not got loads of work to do, so might have a look at that job application today, read the details properly last night and it is a really good combination of things that I can do and enjoy doing. And the salary is a bit of a step up from what I get now, which would be nice!

In other news, OH gets the keys to his new house today, am so excited for him

Bad Squizz- you can't run far in new shoes!!

Hope the sore throat clears up soon for you.

It's Martin's fault, he put a 10% discount and free delivery code in his voucher section! I'm calling it an investment for winter - two pairs of boots, a handbag and a scarf all for £30.

Oh well that's not too bad then, good value for £30.

Thinking ahead a bit, having changed (almost) everything over to my new bank account, I need to think about paying off the OD on the other one before I start getting charged interest (about 10-11 months I think). Looking through cashback and survey sites I think all the ones that pay cash are set up to go into that account so am going to leave them like that to 'drop' little bits in when they pay out. Got £1400 to pay back though so that's going to need some thinking about.
