Morning!!!! (ish)

How are you all today? I was at the gym at 07:00am this morning - well done me!! And just resisted the choccie biscuits & jaffa cakes that are being passed around the office!! :T

Its suddenly dawned on me that come Friday I only have 9 weeks left of work. It may sound like a lot, but its not long, and I have so much to do in that time!! Eeeeeeeek!! So excited though. Yaaay!!

It looks as though I'll have £8,000 to take away with me (plus deposit on flat, tax rebate & oyster card rebate - and perhaps if I am really lucky, any bank charges owing to me.......). Still need to buy insurance & a few odds and ends, but otherwise all sorted. A bit gutted that I didnt manage my £10,000 target though. I know I'll be fine financially, but I just had that amount in my head!!**

** I hope noone thinks I am bragging, I'm really not!! & if you dont want to hear about it tell me to shut up :0)

Despite having only been to Superdrug yest, I need to buy a few more bits, but can get them with 10% off too. Not much, but every little helps.....

Sorry, this is turning into a rambling thread.!!

I hope you are all having a good day, really looking forward to meeting you on the 23rd July - I move out of London on the 24th!! :cry:

    Got to go to get my 2yr old some new shoes today though, but I'll go to the Clarks factory shop as they often have shoes for £5-£10 a pair. Bus fair is £2.50 though, bloomin rip off.
    OH took HM lunch for the first time in about 3 years, so pleased with that :)
  • Brought packed lunch with me (pasta with pesto *yum*) today but will pop out to local market at lunch time to buy some fruit (est cost <50p).

    My big monthly night out tonight! Cinema (Orange Wednesday 2for1 offer), followed by meal after (printed off 2for1 TGI Friday offer seen in the mailout).

    Hi all!

    I am going for a no spender. Being taken out to lunch by work, a fancy french place (just had to look up the menu and use a translation website or god knows what I would end up eating).

    64p on some toast today - hmmm I see a recurring trend here. But I've got too much work to do so I'm not leaving my desk until I go home. That should mean I don't spend anything else today. If only I could manage to drag myself away from this site.......

    Going for a no spend here, have got the week off work so have not been tempted to pop across to Asda to buy yummy lunch time snacks
  • Helloooooo!!!

    Aiming for my fourth no spend day in a row! Got the day off from my day job to study and am working tonight so will get pennies coming in as opposed to going out!! Not going anywhere other than that so no spending for me.

    These no spend days are beginning to take over me! First load for a while!
