    Morning all :wave:

    Thanks for Pixie for starting us, I have to agree that this week is flying past. Only 8 days left in my twenties, the countdown begins. . .

    Beautiful weather on my walk into work but a little chilly. Found some money on my walk today which I'll put in my sealed pot when I get home. :D

    Today I will
    Walk to work
    Check bank balances
    Check surveys
    Charge mobile and ipod at work
    Go to the post office to exchange the Yen and Baht I found during my tidy up.
    Go to CEX to get rid of some DVDs and Games
    Go to the shops for just sour cream for a chocolate cake I'll make tonight
    Go to Yoga (Om)
    Check Ebay
    Bake chocolate cake
    Pack bag for the weekend, yay just one more sleep till I see my DH :j

    Have a great day everyone
    xx

    Morning all,

    I'm with you DNMS! It's Thursday so one step closer to Friday! :j *Does a little jig* I'm glad this week is going fast, I'm looking forward to doing absolutely nothing this weekend, well I say nothing, hopefully as I have nothing that is in dire need of being done I can get round to doing some more ebaying.

    Stitchy - Hang on in there!
    Dawn - Ooh under 30k well done! I wish mine was...but since we only took it out last year, we have a looooong way to go! But I have realised after our wedding next year, we can afford to treat ourselves a little more but also maybe save up to pay off the mortgage a little earlier :)

    Today I have/will:-
    • [STRIKE]Food from stores[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Heating off during working day[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Make use of free coffee/water at work[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Charge phone at work[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Dinner from meal plan[/STRIKE]
    • Update ebay challenge
    • [STRIKE]Log calories on free app[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Log expenditure on free app - aiming for a LSD as I only need to buy a sauce for tonight's stir fry[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
    • Put some washing away
    • [STRIKE]Check cashback[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Research wedding photographers more[/STRIKE]
    Have a great, moneysaving day everyone x

    It's called Expense Manager, it's quite good considering it's free!
