    Hi everyone,

    Today I have checked online banking - no suprises there.
    Turned heating down for a while as it has hardly been off this past month.
    Washing on 30, drying on airers.
    I will not go to corner shop to buy more wine and will make do with ginger ale that I already have in , so a nsd today.
    Leftover lasagne for tea.
    DD wanted lift back from freinds because of icy pavements but agreed to walk if i met her so saved on petrol and free excercise.
    Checked my credit reports , not absolutley awful but.... anyway a few satisfied accounts will drop off march/april and applied to have an explanatory note put on another which looks bad but should never have got that way - thanks halifax.:mad:
    Will do any surveys I can and enter some competitions.

    Have a good weekend

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    Not today but last night, I cancelled my tv licence. I only watch 1 tv show a week so it's not worth it. Will just have to go without Saturday Kitchen for a while.

    Today:
    Searched boxes and cupboards for things to put on ebay tomorrow. Planning to take full advantage of free listing day.
    Washed clothes at 30º and hung to dry on clothes horse in spare room.
    Cleared and defrosted freezer, used part-bake bread and frozen leftovers for dinner.
    Stayed home and did uni work. NSD.
