  • Hi all :)

    Reporting NSD 7 please :) Wooo! nearly halfway there! :j

    Spend day tomorrow as food shopping being delivered and then going for some extra bits and bobs in the evening (whoopsies!). Need a couple of things from Boots as well as pick up my order, but will have enough on my Boots card to pay for it....:cool:

    Well I have just done another freezer inventory so I can plan some more meals for over the next few weeks. For some reason I cannot keep a list up to date so periodically I freeze my bits off sat on the tile floor surrounded by frozen food :o

    No 3 for me today! decided not to cont days i have to put fuel in the car as that is such an essential where I live, but I was good and didnt buy anything in the garage when paying!

    Also had some fab news, rang the electricity company today as my payments have been large as ive been paying off a huge bill due to them estimating my meter readings for several years, and I am now in credit to the tune of over £1000!!!!!! Which will be credited to my bank account at the end of the month, so not only have my monthly payments gone down by half but I will be £1000 less overdrawn by the end of the month!!
