Scuba's Spending and Life in the South Diary

chevalier

Well good on you. Despite attitudes to the contrary, I am a bit old fashioned and feel marriage is a commitment to not enter into lightly....

I think we will do eventually but for the time being we do love each other but living together is enough of a commitment.

My grandmother is horrified that we live together without being married but she's not in the slightest bothered that my mum and her partner aren't married live together despite her living with them which none of the family can quite work out.

grand parents can have very interesting viewpoints. They may not make sense to us but do to them lol

Very true, on the upside she adores him - I think he reminds her of my grandad, although he was Merchant Navy rather than army.

Done two mystery shops so far this morning, one nice simple phone call job - after which I just emailed the boy to let him know about the deal I discussed, as the deal itself was pretty average but the addition of military discount would make it perfect for him. The other at a petrol station at the end of the road, I've just had to put the sweets I bought at the petrol station on top of the tall cupboard in the kitchen so I can't reach them to scoff the lot before I have to walk to work later.

Work was the usual round of boredom but it puts me one shift closer to my holidays, and hopefully a day off on Tuesday - well when I say day off I mean day out mystery shopping but it's near enough the same thing right?

Slightly aprehensive about the new OU fees, if I can't get finance because of my first attempt at uni full time which I dropped out of then I won't be able to afford to keep studying.

scubaangel

Worrying slightly less about the OU fees today, not alot I can do about it and I *should* still be able to claim for my level 3 courses as I didn't even start third year of full time study.

Had quite a lazy afternoon since finishing work, had a quick wander around town with the boy to buy something to eat for tea then seem to have spent the rest of the day sat watching TV on the sofa.

Woohoo second day off in 4 weeks and I spent it doing the mad woman impression mystery shopping.

Written up two shops got two more to do and I really really really need to sort out the word processor on the lappy so I can get stuck in to my assignment (due on Thursday).

One left to write up, but I can't find the receipt so it must be in the car so I'll get that tomorrow morning and do the write up then.

Needs to be an early start though as I also have four more shops to do which mean a 40 min each way train trip and still need to deal with the assigment.

Assignment done and submitted last night, not totally happy with it but the netbook is busy installing updates so doesn't look like it'll be functional again in time to do a quick review and edit before midday.

All my mystery shops are written up, just having some toast and a brew then I'll dig out my camera and sort out the receipt uploading.

And while on my regular crawl around the survey sites I have once more broken through the £20 barrier on onepoll so only £19.95 to go until I can get my next payout from them!
