Good things:
Done my adpoints - 250 Nectar points, if I do this every week I will be [STRIKE]rich[/STRIKE] marginally better off.
Done a few polls on onepoll, over 1/2 way to payout.
Moved £160 to offset so massive interest saved there for the few weeeks it's there.
Taking a packed lunch to London - even though I'm working with a colleague at a client's premises.
Bad things:
Will be buying a frothy coffee - my 'going to London' treat. With loyalyy card and Bite card discount it is less than £2. So.
Neutral things:
If I have time will be spending around £80 worth of Boots points on ME!!!!!!! :j. Not saving them up all year to waste on other people.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

1. Ordered Tesco shopping with £22 pounds of money off vouchers.:T
2. Did a meal plan for week, I'm making batch cook chili tomorrow and apple crumble. Yum.
3. I decided to go back to my old plan of setting a budget for the week and then just getting money out from the cashpoint once a week and when the money is gone, it's gone!;)
4. Used some coppers from my jar to buy a paper. I have to put some silver in there or I feel guilty for the man in the shop.:rotfl:0 -
