    Yes I'm intrigued by faffing too!!

    Morning all. Just got up from a lovely lie in thanks to my hubbie! Today I have/will

    - done scratchie
    - checked online banking
    - do surveys
    - mystery shop to do - get hubbie to drop me off to save bus fare!
    - check for mystery shops
    - try to think of something cheap to do with boys today. Was going to take them to the park but it's pouring down. Am thinking of taking them to the kids club at the odeon. You only pay for the kids and that's only £3.50 I think but it feels like a treat to them to go to the cinema.
    - buy lottery tickets - hey I can dream!

    All done!

    Also booked a babysitting job for Monday and replied to en email regarding some bank shifts at work :T

    - toast for lunch at work
    - going to make some HM soup for work for the rest of the week
    - didn't break the tenner in my purse
    - bought a multipack of crisps and resisted the evil vending machine!!
    - night in with no wine (not quite FAFFing but one step at a time :p)

    Well I never - I sold a book on Amazon and their automated postage thing didn't cover the postage!!! How rude! So I ended up losing money on that!

    That happened to me too! Tut tut Amazon!
