Hi all , scorching hot today. I've been working but its been fairly quiet in community so spent a bit of time in air conditioned office catching up on stuff.

Very little from me today :

• NSD - very rare, can't go in shops in uniform and not wearing a coat in this !
• checked banks - ebay money gone in , needs to be shuffled but can sit where it is until payday thursday just in case.
• Took food , drinks to work
• Iron clean uniform for tommorow
• worked 7.5 hours enhanced
• got time sheet and mileage up to date
• long shower (hate baths)
• home pedicure ready for sandals on days off now nice weather is here :T
• Tea from store - only me home so bacon and egg butty

Another day at work tommorow and weather predicted to be just as hot. funny thing today , one lovely old lady couldn't understand why her heating hadn't come on - I was dripping .

My list for today:

* HC (One load done, one load in, more loads to go)Left out overnight as some bits still damp. Also another load in a basket ready to go out tomorrow.
* used an old free sample of washing liquid to wash shower curtains and bathmat with
* posted RM survey post and sorted out newly received postings ready for their posting dates
* tried registering for a new survey site - fingers crossed Alos registered for IPSOS via Quidco, which has tracked for cashback
* checked one poll - no new surveys
* enter some competitions online
* free nibbles of sushi and drinks in store whilst shopping (was v yum)
* visited car dealership for touch up paint kit and to order parts for OH car. I've decided that looking after the condition of my car is MSE and getting his car parts out of my house (eventually ) will help me tidy up (reaching phone is a dancing effort round the car parts!) Will probably wait until DH is free next weekend before attempting to touch up car. Still going to be cheaper than paying to have car resprayed.
* recycled batteries and water filter cartridges
* checked Amazon and ebay before getting BOGOHP maps at WH Smith
* parked in free parking and walked to shops. Saves car park money and stops me wandering round town for too many hours as free parking is time limited.

* also just walked to Mr A - despite wanting to drive.
*Got some whoopsied bargains including a still sealed jar of peanut butter with a broken lid - I checked the lid was the same as the larger size jar I knew I had at home, and now when my current jar runs out (which will be soon) I can re-use the lid on this bargain one
* I also got moneyoff when something rang through dearer than the shelf price - only 32p but better in my purse than their till.

Up early today as I can't sleep and have plenty to do.
Already taken the dog for a walk before it gets too hot and its lovely again. OH has his "race" today that will take up a lot of the day and I still have a lot to do otherwise so thought I'd just get on with it.

So today...

• Do a lesson for interview and at least research another one
• Hoover house (inlaws coming later so MUST be done!)
• Walk dog
• Tidy kitchen
• Get maps printed out for interviews
• Pop to Tesco when it opens to buy a cheap pair of sunglasses (dog ran around the garden with mine and broke them)
• Go to watch OH in his mini olympics - will take the dog if it's not too hot, meeting inlaws there too
• Go for tea somewhere with family
• Do one wash and dry naturally
• Checked ebay - now have 2 bidders and lots of watchers, closes tomorrow morning, fingers crossed

Better get cracking.
Have a good day
