  • It's amazing how many of us are unwell today. I woke with a migraine at 3am so haven't been able to make it into work. It's subsided a bit, but I'm still not up to doing anything much.

    My list so far:
    • checked banking
    • checked for surveys
    • DH has fed and watered the hens and collected one egg so far
    Yet to do:
    • phone Briti$h Ga$ re DD amount
    • all meals from stores
    • have an NSD - no 4 this month
    I have so much more I would normally do, but I'm going to ignore all the rest and just concentrate on getting rid of this migraine. :(

    An addition to my list - just entered the meter readings again, trying to do it weekly now so we can see exactly what's happening - the amount we were in credit was going down and down and finally they've adjusted our DD so it's £10 more a month - would rather be in credit than have a big bill when we inevitably switch in March.

    Oooh thanks for mentioning meter readings, I keep remembering I should do mine...so off to do it now while I have it in my head:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
  • phone Briti$h Ga$ re DD amount
    Phew, they had increased it from £80 to £159 pm, but after discussion it is going to be £99 pm. Still more than I can afford, but better than £159!! :)

    Afternoon all

    Back in the ratrace again. Though it was an inset day rather than a teaching day, so a nice free lunch.
    Charged the phone at work
    Checked the bank no surprises
    Left my cards at home
    Did a quick one poll survey and got screened out of another
    Turned the heating off as I won't be in till late today.

    This evening I will meet a friend for a cheap pub meal and then go to salsa so I'll spend about a tenner. However, friend has some lovely Italian Pecorinno that her hubby has bought back from visiting his family in Italy. So that kinda offsets the cost somewhat :D


    Hope you feel better soon DNMS

    Hope everyone else survived the first day back
