    Bought expensive lunch and small bottle of Coke at work. :mad:

    Got my new PIN from Absurd & Ludicrous, and it seems like a luxury being able to get into my bank account. Pity there's so little in it! :rotfl:

    Other than that, there's little news. We had some guests down from Scotland for the weekend, which was lovely, and I worked both today and yesterday at time-and-a-half, which will help the coffers.

    Oh, and one weird thing with Quidco: I got an e-mail saying that the A&L money I received ages ago has been validated. I guess it's too much to hope that they are going to pay me twice?! :cool:

    It does feel a bit like that sometimes! I'm so unimpressed that I'm actually considering closing my 3.2% ISA and moving the money into an account that pays considerably less just to get away from Santander!

    Guessing it just tracked slowly/they've duplicated a tracking notification by mistake. Quidco are funny like that - sometimes I get notifications instantly, sometimes they never materialise. Don't really care as long as I get paid...

    I know. Customers wanting access to their hard-earned cash. Whatever next?! *Rolls eyes and shakes head sarcastically*

    Me too. I think they've just sent me a duplicate note. I guess I'll see soon one way or another!

    Hmm...have just proofread a friend's 4 pge document for her French uni, and it's made me realise that my French isn't as shoddy as I thought it was. :)

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Actually, I feel tres rubbish: while doing the reading I ate a few choc biscuits and drank some diet Coke as 'breakfast', and my tummy is in the middle of telling me how seriously unimpressed it is at my choice! :rotfl: I only have myself to blame, but ooooooh!

    My sympathies. Toes + being female = pants.

    Hope everything else is good enough to make you feel cheerful. :)

    We all deserve a good whinge every now and again: I have a thread dedicated to little else! :rotfl:

    And let's face it, you have pretty good reason to whinge. I have much less. And really, really need to get on with economising, which I have not done for a disgusting length of time: the number of lunches I have bought out recently is OBSCENE! :mad: :eek:
