    Hello All,

    Today I have brought packed lunches for myself and my boyfriend for work, made a flask of coffee for him and brought in 2 cans each from a multipack. I am feeling good after a week of eating rubbish on holiday last week!

    I have done a couple of surveys so far and checked my online banking. I was very lucky and won £450 on the lottery at the weekend :j (I had 3 hotpicks) so I checked and it has cleared in my account so I am just sitting working out what I am going to pay with it and then I will transfer it over.

    And then I should really think about working since I am in the office after all ;-) Have a good day everyone.

    Jules

    Morning/afternoon all!

    I'm going to actually cook myself a meal tonight (never usually have time). As i have stuff in the freezer I can use, I can save a bit of cash.

    I did buy and Ipad2 last night....so saving money again is needed
