    Mine are dailies too, I am not good at keeping things in certain places and I like that I can just throw them away at the end of the day. I usually order 2 month supply every 3 months as I don't wear my lenses over the weekend. The website is www.daysoftcontactlenses.com. I'm happy with them, using the lenses for over 2 years now. It's free delivery and it's cheap.

    WOW!! They are really good prices :j

    I will definately be ordering a box to try as the Acuvue's were like £30 for a month, thanks very much for that :D

    That's a shame Pennies :(

    I just don't know where time is going at the moment but I will make an effort to catch up with everyone's diaries tonight as it's been a while!

    My mate finally paid me £30 for doing his VAT returns :j, have put that into savings. Also transferred the £29 that work re-imbursed me for and some other random amounts so I think I am doing ok! I did all my money shufflinf yesterday as it was payday and then I was looking at it thinking 'it just doesn't look right'....took me forever to realise that the first thing I did when I logged in was to transfer £100 straight to savings :o. See, I am trying to be good!

    Had my hair cut Monday night and the hairdresser was great, the cut is fab although maybe a little shorter than I would have initially liked BUT it's good rid of the perm remnants and I even managed to get it looking exactly the same :rotfl:. OH said he likes it but looks forward to it growing back!

    Have been umming and arring about my monthly spending budget as I initially set it at £40 per week but I think that's too high, if I am spending anywhere near that per week then a) I shouldn't be and b) I have no idea where it is going! I have decided that my new weekly budget will be £50 but that has to include petrol. Since all the duty and VAt rises it's now costing about £25 a week just for work so the new budget may be a little light but we will see. I am going to Bingo tomorrow night and it's either going to be £7.50 or free, just got to work out what one I am doing as I assume the prizes are much lower if you do the free version! Work colleagued engagement party this week and my other workmate is coming round for an Indian first....hang on I think I have already blown my weekly budget, oops! :o

    Actually I already have £7.50 in my purse so even if I do paid Bingo I will only need a few pounds for drinks and I think the Indian will be £10 each plus some drinks at the party (although I expect OH will buy most of them). Next week will be non budget week as we are off to Centreparcs :j. I spoke to OH last night and we have agreed that we are taking breakfast food, sandwich and general snack items and maybe enough for two dinners. We will eat out twice for dinner and maybe a spot of lunch but we will see. I did point out that I have paid for all of it so far but I do feel bad asking OH for money as he has to write me a big cheque very soon so I can pay off our Maldives balance. I went on CP's website last night and found out where they do deals on dinner like BOGOF etc!

    Weighed in today but not had a good week as I have only worked out once due to two very seperate small trivial things which made it impossible to use the Wii, I haven't lost anything but I haven't gained either so it's not too bad. I am much better not so will do a bit on the Wii tonight and lots at the weekend :cool:

    Oh no Kel that sucks! Did you see biggest loser this week? I can't believe that Claire only lost 4lb after all that exercise, makes me feel better as it obviously just isn't as easy as it seems!

    I am looking forward to Centreparcs but it's blinking expensive as virtually nothing is included. DD is VERY excited and tells me on msn how many days it is until we go :rotfl:, wonder where she gets that from?!?!

    Just had a very weird and random semi-serious conversation with OH after me reading out a Dear Deidre story in the Sun and joking it must have been him! It ended up with us agreeing we will probably have a baby in a few years time :eek:. He just asked me straight out if I wanted any more and I said I wasn't bothered and thought that he didn't, he said he thought that I didn't.......very confusing. I said that if we did, it would be in a few years as I want us to have a few years doing 'our' thing going away and going out etc and he agreed, I also want to be fully qualified before we ever have children. He said that a girl at work who he has known for years asked him today if we would be having any and it seems like it's got him thinking!
