  • Ah cute photos. Pets at Home have large bags of go-cat 2KG buy 2 get one free. Don't know if you use dry food. They have stopped their loyalty stamp that they used to give out. But if you hand one over you get 10% off what you buy regardless of how many ink stamps you have on it.

    Morning folks,

    Yesterday was a lovely relaxing day. I went out and about with a friend and we briefly went to Ikea (didn't find a chopping board there) and Morrisons (did get a chopping board there, and a cooked breakfast - nom!) I spent around a tenner, which isn't too bad really.

    I have had a ridiculously small amount of sleep. I got woken up by Mr Fresian at quarter to two this morning as he was on the phone reporting that someone had tried to steal our car. :mad: The useless car thief though had done it so badly that the noise of him breaking in woke Mr Fresian, who tapped on the window and scared said muppet quite badly :D The little sh*t scarpered, but calling the police so quickly meant that they could "release the hounds" and it does warm my heart to think of him being chased by a dog team through the streets. They didn't catch the guy, but the police were excellent, so we're happy enough. There is quite a bit of damage to the car *sob* so we need to get quotes to see how much it will cost to fix her.

    Money

    Aside from that, there are three days to go until payday and all looks ok:

    PAD/Spends - £17.01
    Entertainment - £15.45
    Groceries - £118.37

    Not bad. Not bad at all.

    Ooh, forgot to mention that I redeemed another 849SB for a £5 Amazon voucher. That's taken me about a month to earn, so not too bad compared to some sites. It should come through within two weeks or so, which means I can start ordering some DVDs, woo!
  • Bad luck with craps gettingg damaged, I guess they thought it would be easy to get in. They didn't count on Mr F_F!

    Well done on SB, Some of the tv clips have been quite interesting :cool:

    No worries, it did give me a laugh on the bus on the way to work this morning though - I told Mr Fresian and he had a wee giggle too. Even the police laughed when they saw the car they were trying to steal :D

    The day has ended quite well in the end. I went to work and managed to get a half day due to complete exhaustion. I headed home at lunchtime and straight to bed, which was very much required. My friend came round after she finished work and we nipped to Aldi for a couple of essentials (including a £4 bottle of wine which I'm sampling at the moment :D) then we had a nice quiet night in. I paid for Chinese for myself and Mr F as I'm too tired to cook and I think we deserved a treat after last night. Very yummy it was too!

    I need to update the spreadsheet with my spendy day and hopefully it's not ruined the budget too much ;)
