I drove DH's car to the garage for it's MOT, then cycled home in the rain! When the MOT is done I will be cycling back to the car. This saves two taxi fares!

Cycling in rain a success. Lots of money saved and got some free exercise - and entertained an old lady when my hood got tangled in the bike loading it into the back

Filled DH's car - £80!!!! at Mr M as it is second cheapest garage around (Mr A is 1p cheaper but further away and it was rush hour). That took me over the next increment for my Mr M voucher which will really help my grocery spends :rotfl:

Also printed out map etc for tomorrow's interview double sided (realy saving fractions of 1p I imagine but more eco friendly too).

Added up weekly grocery budget spent and remaining and reviewed meals. Made enough dinner tonight to cover tomorrow so I can possibly go out.

Sold a book on ebay for £18 (before counting postage) so when that and my TCB clear, that is another chunk towards the virtual OP fund :T I also posted the book on my way to the garage as I didn't want to have to worry about it tomorrow around the interview and wanted not to have it hanging over me for Weds.

Today, I have:

- Brought my lunch to work (jacket spud + OH's sausage casserole):D
- Requested 59p TCB payout!!
- Am walking with my cheque book in my pocket so I am ready as soon as the money comes into my account, I can make my OP!! :j
- Chased the recruitment agencies to tell them to hurry up to find me a better paid job!:mad:
- Bought a choccy bar, just before the vending machine man increased the prices!! :eek:

Thats all!

I drove back slowly from my job interview (did not drive there slowly ) on the most direct (slow) route home to save petrol and put less miles on the car.
