    Evening all :j

    Today I have:

    Seen to animals and plants

    Been to work

    LSD, just £5 for carpark :mad::eek: and £1 for a leaving present (not too stingy, as not a close colleague, and a large organisation; if everyone gives that amount, there will be enough for a good pressie :D, and close team members tend to give rather more :D). Car park is unfortunately essential as I live several miles out of town and am too old/ unfit/ knackered to cycle and can't in any case arrive in work looking like a windblown fright :eek: (yes, like that). I have been getting a season ticket, but that is not cost effective unless I use it for at least 21 days in a given month, and I have some leave coming up in a couple of weeks :j:j:T:T Scary thing is, I have to buy a rail season ticket as well :eek: If I didn't have a reasonably well paid job, it would never be worth it!

    HM meals - used up elderly wraps from bottom of fridge for work lunch, with just cheese, lettuce and cucumber in them, but it was nicer than it sounds :D, and no waste :A:D

    Well, I ought to do some ironing :eek::eek: (I have heard it is illegal - and if not, it certainly should be :rotfl:) but I am running out of work tops and have meetings on Thurs and Fri.

    So, on we go - have a nice evening everyone :wave:

    Just been through the finances for May and adjusted things accordingly after the extra expenses of vet bill, kennels and a few other unexpected bits.

    Its still doable but I'm going to have to be far stricter with myself with little spends - £5 here and there makes a big difference over a month doesn't it?

    I'm going to stop thinking about it and actually ebay a few unwanted bits to go towards next month's CC bill.
    Sometime this week.........
