    Very quick post time!

    Reward payments received today and mainly used to buy some craft stuff from Ebay, making it technically free. Honest ;)

    Good sized PAD made as my Virgin bill was half what it is normally due to me coming home one lunchtime to find we had no internet. Man in foreign call centre was duly made aware of how unimpressed I was and a large credit was applied to the bill due to the fact that we were going to be without broadband for four days. Imagine my joy when it fixed itself that day. Imagine my delight when I found out today that we still got the discount he promised :money:

    I made another calendar last night, this time for Papa Fresian as part of his birthday gift. He's turning 70 and doesn't want fuss or expensive presents, so he's getting cack-handed homemade ones instead to punish him :D I'll take pictures of it sometime this week and post them on my blog, but I've not had much time. I've also made one for another moo-shaped MSE lady who is having a birthday this week. It's in the post for her, so hopefully she likes it!

    Nothing else to report apart from that as of today I'm working in another office which is a number of miles away, but am getting my petrol paid for doing so :D

    Must dash - have no idea how long it takes to get there in time for 8am and there's fairly severe weather here today *rolls eyes*

    Have a good day all :)

    This lady is an MSE-er from the cardmaking thread and it's her tutorial I used to make it :D

    Wow she's a clever lady. Her cards look fab! Thanks for sending me over there :p
    One step at a time ;)

    I just hope you like it Moo!

    Nowt happening in Fresian Towers apart from me getting used to an earlier start for commuting purposes. Last week I would have been just getting up and about to think about showering, this week I'm ready to brush my teeth and go!

    No MSE news from yesterday unless you count seeing a film with a cinema pass and passing up the opportunity to buy sweets while I was there :D

    Happy hump day!

    I'm not worried by the half pound gain - I haven't been tracking my eating that well this week which probably has a lot to do with it :o It did top off a fairly rotten day yesterday though. Tomorrow's Friday though, so hurrah!

    Money

    PAD/Spends - £62
    Entertainment - £19.82
    Groceries - £46.49
    Loan repayment fund - £1518.98 (Pleased with that, as the day before payday it was about £80 less, so I'm aiming on adding £100 into it again this month)
