    Thanks fayjmck - not many jobs out there and nothing new today :(
    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

    Hi everyone, quiet in here innit? I have had a surprise today. My lovely OH has presented me with a pair of tickets to see Dave Gorman in a couple of weeks. :love: I couldn't justify the expense, but I really wanted to see him as I had a ticket for his last tour but gave it away because I was poorly. But my OH bought a pair cheaply off e-bay, so Cinderella shall go to the ball after all!:rotfl:

    Today I:
    1) Went to work
    2) Not a LSD as I had to fill the car with fuel but that was budgeted for.
    3) Played around with the snowball calculator working out where best to throw my payments.
    4) I managed to book a £29 Premier Inn room as per Martin's e-mail. I got a family room for June when we will be taking B and T to Legoland (using our Merlin passes!) and Windsor Castle for their birthday treats. :jIt may not be super posh but far nicer than our usual Travelodge. Best of all, I don't have to pay until we check-in. :)
    5) Packed lunches and all meals from stores.
    6) Checked banking, quidco, and did SC.
    7) Hokey cokey
    8) I will bake some biccies while dinner is cooking.

    Right, off to cook dinner. Have a good evening, L x

  • nothing major but a first for me all the same. I was feeling a bit down in the dumps and managed to steer myself away from Waterstones wanting a treat.

    At work there was a charity book stall and normally I wouldnt give it a second thought. However all the books were £1 and I saw a copy of the Horse Whisperer- I loved the film and fancied reading it so bought it :)

    I have also planned out how/when I will pay for all my various bathroom bits and worked out that I can claim a tax refund on 5 years worth of professional subscriptions :D result! :T

    Hi all , have just finished another busy ten hour shift and am shattered.

    However have resisted urge to get take aways for tea and cooked at home instead.

    Today I have :

    checked online banking - 17 days to payday but should be okay.

    check for surveys

    online competitions

    Recieved a coaster in post to compete my set and a box of laundrey detergent to test - smells lovely.

    hokey cokey with 'free' detergent

    logged all miles done at work and passengers to claim at end of month

    still no wine !

    A welcome day off tommorow :T
    When it rains look for Rainbows
    When its Dark look for Stars
