    Hello to everyone who has posted today – really surprised to see how busy the thread is….hi to Mogchops

    Congrats on setting the date Fay

    Today I have/will:
    • Checked online banking – no change there
    • Popped into town (using bus pass) and closed one account which was at the end of the fixed rate deal and opened up another at fixed rate
    • Thought I’d blow the money and treat myself to things I have missed out on – had a couple of tops and a pair of shoes and thought to myself, do I ‘need’ these? The answer was no so I put them back
    • Did treat myself to a scarf though – I see it as an investment as I plan to keep it for 5+ years
    • Enter comps online
    • Meals from storecupboards
    • Check out websites for jobs etc
    • Get a new book from the library – went yesterday and they were shut
    • Update my 101 list with the book I have just finished reading – still haven’t done this!

    Think that is about it, take care everyone
