    good spend day today, 99p on toothpaste although it is gross and tastes salty (is a foreign one) think i will have to buy another tomorrow in town! :mad:

    got some bargains in teso as my coffee was 2 for £5 and fishfingers were only 99p per box as were half price. bought 4 boxes which will prob last 3 months! was working from home and then did an audit and crisp job :)

    so plans for tomorrow are-
    • upload crisp pics
    • pay in cheque
    • do mystery shop
    • buy toothpaste
    • post solicitors details
    • cancel mobile insurance
    • look for ppi, sickness cover etc... for mortgage and see how much it costs
    • tidy room, maybe clean if can be bothered
    • go to gym and swim after
    • start new surveys
    • if i am desperate maybe do some ironing
    sunday-
    • do mini audit
    • do mystery shop
    • buy food i need for next few days (not much :) )
    • go and look at house again with mum to take measurements for curtains, blinds, appliances under counter etc...
    • try on wedding outfits (things i already have)
    think i will have an early night as need to conserve energy for next week! going out for a meal on wed, going to epsom on thur then train to london to go to temple then back to epsom. wedding and reception next day then stay overnight. drive back to norwich sat am then do audit and go to friends party in evening. :eek:

    No toothpaste though ;)

    :hello:hi smilerwoman, thanks for dropping by, i am ok thanks!

    not got much to update, had survey back and appears to be a problem with chimney and boiler so need to investigate further :( but had contract sent through so thats good (although not signing till those issues sorted).

    got £23 left dispite a few cherry cake shaped hiccups :p and is end of my week tomorrow. going for curry for leaving do so hope to only spend £15 and have £10 to carry forward. know i will need more next week as is weddings on thur/fri so that will be expensive. means i will have to be stricter week after :eek:

    need to finish ms report and go to sleep as v tired. will update tomorrow if anything interesting happens! if not will do it sunday when i am back and recovered! :A

    so the weddings are over :( both ceremonies were very good, one in the temple was certainly something different! just back in the hotel now after the reception, bit tipsy! was a free bar all night which was very generous :beer:

    i withdrew an extra £20 this week as the weekly budget would not be enough but due to free bar and all the lovely curry i scoffed i still have £24.81 left :T i will make sure this lasts me until wed night so can start next week afresh. think might try and do £30 budget for next two weeks and then i will be sqaure at end of month :) i can try anyway!

    so plans for this weekend! not much tomorrow as need to drive back and took 4.5 hrs on way down :eek: that was 1.5 hrs more than it should have and i had 10 mins in hotel to get ready before i had to leave for station! once i get back i am going to hopefully do a little bit on my surveys and then i need to do my audit. then i am off to friend from works party but i am going to try as she lives out of the city.

    so sun and mon i would like to-
    • complete surveys (except for phone calls)
    • read through solicitors paperwork
    • sort out online billing for my mobile as i think i might be able to reduce the tariff now i am half way through contract
    • research and pick buildings insurance
    • research ppi and sickness cover for mortgage
    • change bedding
    • sort out and put wedding pics on fb
    • attempt to sort out bags and shoes with a view to getting rid of some
    picked up a few ms next month so with my regular ones is looking good :) :j

    off to bed now to watch gossip girl and have a nice long sleep :D
