    Another busy day at work (I hate deadlines!) Then running around as usual - DS to hairdressers, then voting. Asda delivery came but they missed off DH's box of wine. Perhaps they are trying to get him AF too for me :rotfl:

    Just chilling out now in front of the TV. Apart from the groceries, no spends again today and I'm still off the wine. Haven't done any de-cluttering either as I'm feeling a bit tired and run down at the moment, but I did notice DH made rather a good job at putting the shopping delivery away for me. I think that may be another chore I have tactfully delegated.

    Can't decide now whether to stay up to see some of the election results or have an early night. I'm not normally that interested but I was very surprised at the number of people at our local polling station earlier so its caught my attention a bit.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Did you manage that early night? Ooh, lovely treats coming your way and all girly :)

    My OH is fab at putting the shopping away, it's un unwritten rule that he packs it all away in our household. I actually think he has a bit of OCD with our kitchen cupboards and fridge :rotfl:He always stacks them so nicely and then I come along and ruin it :p

    Hope it's a good day in pen towers today! xx

    Morning all, I did have an early night and I feel so much better for it (despite DH stumbling in at midnight and talking to me).

    Going to be another busy day at work but I don't mind cos its Friday, so lets hope hometime comes round quickly. Should be a NS day too. :)

    Hi Kel, yes I managed a no spend and an AF day, despite going to the pub earlier. Glad to be home now though, I must be getting old as the music was a bit loud for my liking :rotfl:

    Snap, although no mug of tea :( Just water :o

    Pen, I am glad to see things are just the same and no major problems. I love the 'not wine' pot, after all that was still your own personal treat money. If you then start throwing that at your debt you will have nothing, treat yourself and enjoy your increased health.

    Fingers crossed that your OH gets his redundacy pay soon and a new job :T
