Afternoon everyone,

Hope all are well. I would definitely go for home-grown lettuce, I think you should sell it for sure.

Had a real struggle trying to get out of bed this morning, think I was stuck to it with glue. Must, must, must get up earlier tomorrow. I need to do some exercise and I need to get some flexi time in because I am taking a flexi day off on Friday. Early night tonight me thinks. Or does anyone know where I can get one of those tip-me-out wallace and gromit beds ?

Am feeling a bit fed up after having to take the money I had put aside for my OD back out again and in my current account. Two birthdays, two leaving presents and a graduation are just way too much for my overstretched spending account. It really is a marathon this not a sprint (an uphill one too).

Today's list:
Check banking and update spreadsheet DONE
Change PIN of new bank account card DONE
Drop off birthday card to friend on way to work DONE
Breakfast at home DONE
Free lunch and free fruit at work (NO CRISPS!) DONE
Dinner from plan (chicken fajitas, nom nom nom)
NSD
Work hard and stay positive
Pick up sister's dry cleaning (must get the money back off her for this)
Drop said dry cleaing off at parents' house
Email friends to catch up (cheaper than phoning)
Listen to another Jillian Michaels podcast (motivation for exercise)
Drive steadily to save fuel
Phone loan company to change direct debit details DONE

That's all from me, hope everyone has a great day xx

I'm trying really hard not to go mad on the spending front and thinking before I spend

Today I have/will:

*Ate breakfast at home
*Bought lunch to work and snacks
*Drinking coffee and water and diet coke from my stash (33p a can from poundland instead of 65p from the cafe)
*going for a walk at lunchtime, going to have a look in the evans sale, but not sure I'll buy anything, I want a summer dress
*checked onepoll (nothing)
*checked pigsback
*checking my banking

Can't think of anything else at the mo

Hi everyone :hello:

I'm here, just finding it a bit of a rush to post most mornings and don't get time on my lunchbreak like the good ol' days and then don't really get round to it at night...

Listypoparooney:

• Picking up a new project at work, the troubleshooter that I am Might mean a couple of weekends overtime at 1.5 time :money: :j
• Swapped purses - think a little coin purse works better for me than big purse with all sorts of cards, cash and loyalty cards etc...
• Yoga tonight to keep me on track :cool:
• Leftovers for lunch
• Pennies in the jar
• Going to buy multipack of crisps and not visit the vending machine :T This is mainly cos I only have £5 note in my purse though - would've caved in earlier this morning if not
• Call niece from mobile/included mins and not house phone - she's 6 today - so cute

Rock_cakes - hope hubby is spoiling you now you're back living together

La E - i love the idea of a small things circle on G+!

I think something has clicked! I refused to buy a top in Evans, it was still £20 in the sale and I have a lovey top I can wear for the works do on thursday, I'll make some jewellery to go with it and just got a flower (£2) for my hair! I've got a little collection of flowers and give me a splash of colour every day

*Print Tesco cashback voucher from Tesco Price Check:
https://www.tescopricecheck.com/PriceCheck/Pages/Default.aspx

*Bought 12 single Twix fingers in Poundland. That's 8.3p each which will last me 2 and half weeks for my works packed lunches. A double finger Twix at work is 70p.

*Received another small, random amount from WTC today. Maybe they'll write to me soon to elucidate?! I'm not running around after them.

*Celebrated fact that I'll be paid on Saturday, not Monday, by dancing around the office.
