    This weekend:
    * had discount eye test (I know they are now free at MrT but I like using the same store so they can talk about how my eyes change from year to year).
    * ordered some more vouchers and kept up with my invited surveys
    * filled the car up at Mr A, saving 0.2p/l... every little helps. right :rotfl:
