    Afternoon all :)
    Day 2 and raring to go!

    I started my spending diary just now, though i need to raid my home notebook stash, need something smaller to fit in my bag, but what I have will do for now. Off out for a meal with my OH's parents tonight which will be lovely and cheap too.

    In other news, today's small things list:

    *Bought lunch
    *Bought breakfast to have at my desk
    *LSD milk bought for breakfast and coffee (think my OH is buying dinner)
    *checked banks - balance transfer has gone through
    *drinking coffee and water from the office
    *sorted out my spending diary
    *checked sites - onepoll, maximiles, pigsback etc
    *bussed too and from work using my bus pas

    Can't think of anything else at the moment.

    Well done, Rock!

    *I am checking my tax code to make sure I'm not paying too much tax:

    *Eating free pizza.

    *Taking £5 out at the bank rather than using the ATM and having to take out £20 because it had no tenners in it.

    *Tried the demotivator:
