Morning all.
Today I will:
- have homemade soup for lunch. Work is getting rid of staff room, so might need to invest in a flask bowl to take my soup to work. Will be losing microwave within weeks :mad: Management solution is to eat @ staff bar or restaurant which don't allow you to bring your own food. Not very helpful! (Rant over, sorry!)
-check bank balances
-check surveys
-Start the process for putting unwanted books onto Amazon.
-continue the declutter process in the flat and hopefully find somethings to sell on ebay/amazon in the process*Official DFW Nerd #1368 - Proud to be dealing with my debts*

Story of my life!! We have lots of bakers in my office and there is constant temptation.
Today:- Walked to the office (40 min) for free exercise and no bus fare
- Free coffee at work rather than at home
- brought in lunch (small jacket potato and leftover veggie chili, super frugal as jacket was baked while something else was in the oven!)
- Maybe gym at lunch hour, we'll see how busy the day gets
- Will join a friend for a drink after work.
- Dinner from leftovers - either soup or pasta bake re-heated.
- Keep on crocheting baby blanket in the evening
