    • All food from stores
    • Have a NSD - going well so far!
    • Do one job application - started it
    • Try and do another 500 words or so on assignment and then part 1 is finished - completely finished it - hurrah!
    • Do some marking - have it in front of me but can't get going
    • Write 3 lessons (pushing it a bit but 2 would be good too) - done these too
    • Phone to make appt for dog hair cut, poor love can hardly see! - groomer away for a few weeks, may have to find a new one, not good!
    • Checked banks - all ok surprisingly
    • Did a budget spreadsheet update last night

    • Checked banking
    • Checked pigsback
    And will:
    • Go to 5p bowling
    • Pack up the cage and book a courier.....:o
    • HC and airer dry
    • Meals from stores
    • 2 x MS
    • Submit MS reports

    I have come to confess :o that I only managed the 5p bowling so far today :eek: I had a bit of a blow out!

    DS school trousers £8 (had 20% off in BHS)
    DS 3 books (3 for 2)
    DS 2 CDs (£5.99)
    DD got some bits in build a bear (£12 and scanned her card)
    Got my Dad a tshirt for his birthday that he will love (reduced from £20 to £5)
    Spent £25 in Nandos for lunch (got a free whole chicken worth £11.60, had to talk nicely to the server)
    Magic flannel for nephew in Disney (£1.50)

    And on the way out of the retail park I spent £50 on petrol :eek: but at morrisons, used miles card, and it was 6p a litre cheaper than anywhere local to me.

    Am I awful?
