It is bad LT, I think OH has realised that I'm fed up of him shouting as well. He's been on eggshells around me. He ordered Chinese last night so I didn't have to cook (would have rather he hadn't), they messed up the order and we had to pay part of it when it arrived (OH always pays over the phone) and who ended up paying? Yup me, so I'm going to go take £10 out his acount today (I have his cards) as he owes me for chocolates for hamper stock.
My lovely top I bought before my holiday looks awful on, I found the receipt but its more than 28 days since I bought it. Am going to take it back today and try and swap it for a nice jumper or something.
Tried my hand at candle making last night. It looks so much easier than it actually is. The dip method I'm awful at so I made the wick and melted down all the excess wax and made a huge jar candle. By this morning it had sunk in the middle but I'll know for next time!
Was very bad this morning I bought concert tickets to a band I've always wanted to see. But I'm not saying otherwise I'll probably hear LT laughing from here
(only kidding LT). But its nearly £100 on my credit card. I'm hoping to get some tarot done tonight (not done any since before my hols) and start paying it off. Also have my NI demand through (for my tarot) so I owe them £60ish. CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -

Ok big list for this week to get done. I get paid later on this week so cc's to pay (not as much as I'd like as didn't get any tarot done). Also its the craft fair later this week.
- sort clothes for recycling place and weigh the bags (feel bad about this but this place pays 50p a kilo for old clothes. I have LOADS of stuff and I really want to go to the craft fair so old clothes = money = 2 craft fair tickets, which are about £6 each so 24Kg of old clothes/shoes..... and yes some of SD's stuff will be in there too!)
- 2 gift hampers to do
- soduku book to pick up (for hamper)
- order from M&S to pick up (for gift hampers, used Quidco)
- 2 birthday cards to make (orders, 1 paid, 1 not)
- 1 gift hamper contents card
- 1 'mock' nappy cake (this on the outside must look like a nappy cake but is for display as I've booked a cabinet in reception of the building I work in to show off my gift hampers.
- must get back to Tarot
- deep conditioning treatment on my hair (its still like straw from the holiday)
- swimming
- pay bills and update totals (some have gone up!)
Although I feel guilty I'm taking my old clothes to the recycle place I know I'm more likely to have a clear out if I know I'm getting something in return for it i.e. money for my craft fair tickets.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

i'm with you on taking the clothes for weighing, i've found so many charity shops of late turning their noses up on anything i want to take in i just can't be bothered any more, and i've always like supporting charity shops. Good luck finally getting rid of SD 's stuff and making your home your own.
talking about stuff going up reminds me i a/ need to ring your work place and cancel HD, and b/ still need to email you the flat details for your works notice board if that's still ok.0 -
Of course thats ok, send me the details and I'll get them posted. If work ever send us the upgrade offers (we get the new customer ones but not upgrades even though we ask), I'll send one over to you. Do you get movies? Have you taken advantage of your free cinema tickets?
