    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Been cheered up today by a phone call from a very local school wanting to interview me next week. Would be a good job, virtually no travel costs and a relief to the finances if I got it! Fingers crossed -will have to put all my effort into this one!

    Having a NSD today - technically had to pay to post an ebay parcel but the buyer pays for it so not counting it and resisted lovely looking summer fruit at the greengrocers next door.
    Have decided that I'm going to try to buy next week's food shopping as far as possible from the butcher and greengrocer in the village - see if it works out cheaper if I don't just aimlessly fling stuff in on a trolley dash round Tescos?

    Right off for lunch and then get cracking with other things on the list.

    Hi everyone!

    What a gorgeous day here in London today! My DFW things I've done so far today are:
    • Put items on Gumtree for sale
    • Checked out library books on sewing, knitting and card making (collecting after work)
    • Brought in my lunch from home
    Later I am planning to:
    • Put more items on for sale at Gumtree!
    • Avail of Confused.com's cashback for switching utilities
    • Keep working on BF's birthday pressie that I'm making
    And by the end of the day my target is another NSD!

    Think that's it for now, hope everyone's having a good day and it's sunny with you :j
