    I had a good day....but could turn out worse!

    Only spent £1.39.

    £1 - lotto ticket (will be worth £5m in a few hours)
    £0.39 - pack of wine gums!

    Just noticed that my car is leaking either oil or petrol. Not a great deal but its a cause for worry. Trouble is its tipping down of rain and dark so i can't really see it properly. Noticed the 'rainbow' effect in the puddle earlier. Won't cost anything to fix and the car was brand new in April 06 so its under warranty but its just the pain and inconveinience :(

    Hi everyone, I ended up not going shopping today. So that was no hair cut or a Tesco shop to pay for. I ended up going for a walk with the dogs. I made loads of lasagne last night, so thats dinner sorted for tonight and tomorrow, with loads still in the freezer. Good job its one of my favourites. So its ended up a NSD after all.

    I've got a night in with "cheaper by the dozen"movie on sky. I've still got sky but they had reduced my payment to £15 monthly for 3 months to try and keep me as a customer. I'm going to phone them this week to renegotiate as the times nearly up. Have a good evening everyone. x
