    Morning :)

    I need to go to Mr T's today for some food - we're running slow in the SF household! So, I've written a list of things I need to get, and we're sticking to it. I find that meal planning really helps to keep the cost of groceries down and stops impulse buying, so now me and OH do that together :D

    I'm also taking some things to back that don't fit me and were bought in the sales, so that's a small refund. I may have a little browse in the shops as well, just in case something takes my fancy... :o

    Well, it's not a NSD for me today - I've had to renew my car insurance. I got a letter through last week about their renewal quote - £639.40 so I went online and changed a couple of details, and the quote there was £392.67 so I rang up today and they managed to do it for £380.74 for the year so I'm really pleased :) Much less than I had expected, which is a relief in these times! It's also one thing to cross of my list of things to do in January.

    I noticed today that the petrol station that I drive past on the way to work has put the price of unleaded up to 128.9p! I'm so glad I filled up yesterday, as that's insane! Really am going to have to watch how much petrol is costing us on an monthly basis, as I suspect it's going to push the expenses up quickly. I don't travel that far each week, but both me and OH have cars so between us it'll be adding up.

    Also got the first day of term over and done with - that's always the worse! Although, can't say it was easy getting up in the dark this morning....

    I'm so tired today, really didn't sleep well last night. I know I'm worried about certain things, so it's annoying that it's affecting my sleep.

    Another NSD for me today, not that anyone is reading this anyway.
