Thanks, love!

Doesn't he know that's sacrilege? There's always a good home for fabric here in the Wiltshire countryside where it would be very happy amongst friends!

I'll keep that in mind when I start going through the boxes of fabric I've got in the attic.

Happy tuesday all
I feel like it's Monday all over again (one of the downsides of working at home on a monday!) but the good news it isn't and I've only got 2 and a half days left at work till next tuesday, when it really will be monday, IYSWIM!
So I forgot I was supposed to be seeing my friend for coffee when I'd promised myself an NSD, I keep cancelling so wanted to make sure I do go and had a brainwave, I have a starbucks card, there might be cash on there! And it looks like there is!! Happy face, I get ot have a coffee and a NSD!!

So the rest of today's list:
-check banking
-update spreadsheet tonight
-check onepoll/quidco/pigsback etc (On £34 something on onepoll, so close, can't wait to get that £40 off my cc)
-all searches through swagbucks (not far off my next paypal $5 (around £3.50))
-registered my expenses
-had starbucks brainwave!
-NSD
-wrote a dooyoo review yesterday, will try and do some more reading/writing today
-lunch from home
-coffee and drinks and snacks from office (except treat one)
-keeping food diary

Wannabe01 I hope your dd is ok today?
Stitchy so glad your migraine has gone, one day you'll be able to give it all up for your dream!! We'll be dancing for you when that happens!
Nottoobadyet You sound too sensible to let anything get messed up, and you're right to go for it if it feels right

Gang, I need some advice, if you don't mind? I have a friend visiting and totally didn't plan anything to do saturday night, I was thinking, as we haven't seen each other in so long we'd spend the whole time catching up, maybe have a few drinks etc, but she asked if we were going out. I've come clean, and said I'll organise something if she wants, but I'm cutting it fine, payday is next wednesday and I've got maybe £30 to play with... I'd rather stay home but she is a guest.. any ideas of how I can deal with it if she would rather go out?

Thanks and big love xx

Pernicious

Hiya,

Today I am bruised & "battered" from a tough (but fun!) Polenastics session, it hurts but god is it a good workout! My strapless wedding dress will look amazing on me if I keep this up I hope!!

NTBY - If it feels right then go with it, maybe things won't work out but you never know if you don't try! Glad things are going well
Josie - I agree with everyone else, take it! You both share responsibility for providing for your DD.
Candy - Sorry for missing this - but why is Bessie needing to be sold?
Stitchy - Fantastic news, I'm sure you can stick it out for another couple of payments! Well done on the weight loss too, I can't answer your question, only sympathise as I am the same!
Wannabe - Hope your DD is ok

So today I have/will:-

• [STRIKE]Made use of free water at work [/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Food from stores [/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Dinner from meal plan[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check ebay[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Package up sale ready to post tomorrow[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Reply to florist to arrange a meeting[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Stay in for most of my lunchtime to avoid spending[/STRIKE] - need to pop to Debenhams to see if they have my size in for possible wedding shoes!
• [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Take refillable water bottle to TKD tonight & get a lift with a friend[/STRIKE]

:j Off work now for 4 days. :j

Today I will:

Get ready for 2 night break with OH. The aim is to have as much fun as possible for £0.

Bought four new shirts for work for £11 in the Charity shop. All good quality, brand new M&S ones. Four new shirts in Primark would've been £16 and wouldn't last half as long.
