    NSD for me today! Haven't had one in awhile so quite chuffed. I have been playing about with getting a smart signature like some of you lovlies have, but can't seem to get all that I want to update on there without it looking like war and peace

    Yay for the NSD! As for the sig, I've changed mine loads since I started my diary and I am finally happy with it. Wellllll, when I say 'happy' I would obviously prefer the numbers to be smaller, but the layout is OK now. Simple and short, like me! x

    Just as an FYI in case anyone reads this and wonders why there are 2 cars accounted for and £0 in petrol, it is because my company pays for the petrol.
    Then that really should go down as both income and outgoings.

    hi jgh. there is an update soa. we no longer have 2 cars. we have 1 car and I gave back the company paid fuel card because it was costing me £3008 a year in tax, when I used less than £1,000 last year.

    so happy sunday lovely people.
    Some sad news, my boss's dad passed away last night. Losing a parent is so difficult and he is an only child so my heart is really breaking for him. As my Mom still lives in America, she will take care of sending some food and flowers (traditional in the Italian Catholic communities in New York)
    Other news, using codes I found on MSE did an online tesco shop with voucher codes found on the main page which saved me £11.

    I got a date for my citizenship ceremony in June which is great. I found £75 around the house in coat pockets and unused handbags to deposit tomorrow.

    My area of London just started a WI so i will be going to that this week.

    Later on today I am going to do anyother pedicure on myself = free.

    The bed is changed and I am going to enter some comps.

    I have been to the gym and did my 10k steps and machines and such.

    What is everyone up to ? xx

    Hi NL, sorry to hear of your bosses loss.

    We've been to the beach, had a good time and found some large crabs. The rest of the time has been tidying up.
