    Thanks Beanie, I'll call them soon :D

    Been out all night (The Princess and the Frog is excellent if anyone is thinking about going) and up at 6am tomorrow to go to Glasgow for work, then out for dinner tomorrow night.

    I'm not posting because I'm busy!!

    Night all.

    Morning all!

    Frugality thy name is NOT flying_fresian after going out for dinner after work last night (Planned) and spending £5.50 on dinner (Very MSE and tasty too - hoisin duck pizza is not as minging as it sounds!) and £11 on cocktails (NAUGHTY!!) I do love a French Martini though and these - only two for £11 - were some of the best I have ever had. I am trying to remind myself that I have 17 days until the end of the month and over £100 in the Groceries/Toiletries account and that I can claw this drunken overspend back.

    I'm off work today because Mama and Papa Fresian are visiting from the Frozen North to help me decorate the spare room. That will be the spare room in which you still can't see the floor as I've been putting off cleaning it. Oops. So, plans for today are vast...

    1. Clean kitchen
    2. Hoover hall and stairs (Mr Fresian to do. I hate hoovering)
    3. Tidy living room
    4. Do more washing
    5. Hang up washing instead of leaving it to fester in the machine
    6. Change cat litter
    7. Clean bathroom
    8. Empty bins
    9. Clear out spare room
    10. Sort out small amount of storage space in the hall cupboard

    To achieve this I must first finish Farmvilling :o and then find my iPod as I am planning on getting through this by singing my little heart out to the Glee soundtrack :D

    Two items done. I even cleaned the front of the cupboards!

    More Tesco vouchers received, I don't think they have linked my cards. I might leave it like this as I now have more extra points coupons!

    Right, bathroom cleaning calls :(

    Feel no guilt, if I was on a normal day off I wouldn't be doing this, it's only because the parentals are visiting!
