So today i have so far.....

No idea if anyone's will be might be worth a look, looks liek they are sorting out old stock and putting up new stock - so it MIGHT be a nationwide thing? Also got a £5 off fragrance voucher with a code which can be used online as well....

Afternoon all!
Hope everyone is OK?

On the last week countdown to the wedding - I'm strangely calm about it all, probably because I'm really busy with school.

Anyway, my little list for today.....

• Took packed lunch to school
• Drove sensibly to try to conserve petrol
• Making tea from stores
• Checked banks - student loan has finally been paid - 4 weeks after I started uni!
• Walked dog (in the dark this morning:mad:) an dthen taken him to park this afternoon for free exercise
• Checked quidco
• Checked bid on ebay on book needed for uni (£35 new, £7 at the moment on ebay)
• Tidied kitchen
• Moved student loan to other account and will "pay myself" monthly instead of leaving it in current account and blowing the lot!
• Do some uni work tonight

Can't think of much else for a Monday!
