Found it on the OS Board, sweet potatos are my favourite food EVER...although OH is getting a bit sick of them!
And, because I went to Aldi, the ingredients cost me about £1!!!

Hello, all!

I've been MIA for a few days - have been absolutely slaughtered by work (really busy but challenging and exciting) and by personal dramz, which you lovely folk know about. Thank you for your kind words on this earlier in the week, especially Perni and DNMS. I still haven't decided what to do with my man issues, but will of course keep you all posted.

Major respect on leaving the job, rock cakes!! Life's too short to work someplace that makes you so miserable.
Enjoy your time off, pix you lucky girl

On the MSE front today:

1. walked to work
2. paid water bill at bank
3. working like a mad woman
4. lunch provided at work
5. birthday dinner for a friend tonight - not very MSE but hopefully good fun
6. sharing a motorcycle taxi with my roommate there and back, which will work out
7. checked banking and updated budget
8. make a shopping list tonight for mexican night at ours tomorrow!
9. catching up with people on FB, BBN and email rather than texting
10. maybe meal plan for week

I've been told I'm going to Australia for work in a few weeks, and I'll be there long enough to hopefully make a mini-holiday of it...there's an incentive! It's in a month's time, so my target is £300 savings this month to allow for spending money. So...

- Checked banking
- I've got sign language class tonight followed by a gig, so I probably won't manage a NSD, but I'm going for NSD until then and a £5 budget for tonight.
- Free tea and coffee at work
- Charge phone at work
- Arrange with BG to get prepay electric meter swapped for a credit meter.
- Hopefully get some photos of stuff for eBay.
- Check out some of these surveys and such.
