:wave: Hello everyone
Very sunny day today! But i am at work booooo!!!!!! Only today and then another 4 days off
Thanks everyone for your anniversary comments on weds
I will remember to use OH on here instead of DF for dear fiancee. I am so used to posting on babycentre boards and DH/DP/DF are used on there!!
OH (:D) had his first extra day off this week as part of his new 4 day week. He actually did a nice amount around the house so i was pleased! I was out all day and i think he quite liked the day at home by himself!
Today i have / will- Go to work!!
- Soup for lunch from cupboard
- Decide what to have for dinner tonight as OH isn't having boys night. Usually i have something quick and they cook between them.
- OH isn't playing squash as his 'boys' are busy so i wont be going swimming. So with that and no drinks for boys night etc we have probably saved £7-10 today
- Check banking
- Have a film night with OH
(maybe sharing a box of malteasers or an easter egg!!):EasterBun - Surveys
- Check ebay
- Send 2 ebay items at lunch
- Kids lunch and dinner from stores
- Dig out orange letter to ask for cheque back of my remaining credit
- Ring TC tonight!!!
left paperwork at home so can't do it from work - OH taking my uni books i sold on ebay to work to send as it costs a lot less and will be there tomorrow.
- Need to think about making an exercise plan for starting soon. Not been too good lately but talks of wedding plans have got me a little more motivated
- Email a few of my travel agent friends to find out their opinions on best value destinations for abroad weddings!

Ooooh, I have just gained my second star on here! Another reason to be sparkly!
Thanks Milly :A It's hard sometimes to be motivated - especially as the puppy is currently laying in the garden in the sunshine looking like he hasn't got a care in the world - but this course is so hard and it's meant that it's such a financial struggle for me and DH that I feel I need to work really really hard so that when I qualify it will all be worth it
And shhh, don't tell anyone but I actually quite like writing essays!
Good luck with yours
