Hello to all!
My plans are simple...
- Have a toasted bagel and marmite (I found bagels in the freezer)
- Paint a picture for my dad for his birthday (found canvas in a storage box)
- Watch lots of catch up TV, maybe play on my PS3 later
- Spend no money (which will be easy as I have everything I need!)
- Do laundry and use new hoover (£12.99 from Argos - amazing little thing!)
- Basically have a nice weekend of doing whatever my heart desires :j0 -

OOOOOOOOOoooooooo why do some people who work for tax credits need to be so rude....... just cause I called the abroad number which I might like to add its free for me unlike the 0845 numbers..... well she was awful, over talking me, raising her voice! doesnt get you aywhere, there is no need for it! Anyway using another number now and have been on hold for about 10 mins now..... thank god this is a 01 number, would cost a fortune, the tax credits will just about cover all the phone calls to them if it was a 08 number......... all I want is a form!!!Clutter clearout - 12 bags
Avon sales actual earnings - £0
Ebay £ withdrawn (from dec 10) - £203.45
