  • Hi everyone.
    Day off for me today, must need it as I slept till 11am!. Gonna have a soak in bath in a minute as I feel a bit run down and snotty at the moment. (think i've a lush bomb left in drawer).:D
    Gonna skip breakfast and go straight for lunch I think.:o

    Todays plan of action:
    All meals from stores.
    Don't need any shopping so NSD.
    List some bits on Ebay, really need to start clearing some of the crap from this house.:eek:
    Walk pooches up to office to pick up next weeks rotas.
    College work
    Washing , will dry on line or airer, need clean work clothes for weekend. :eek:
    Take Mum to mr A tonight in the car for her fortnightly shop of heavy stuff she can't get or carry from the local stores. She normally treats me to a bag of shopping for taking her! :D

    Happy Friday everyone.

    Candy - what level AAT are you doing, I've just signed up to do 3 in Sept.

    I'm doing level 2 which is the basic level - I qualified as a book keeper about 2 years ago which should have let me start at level 3 (intermediate) but the course has changed so much and the tutor thinks I might struggle.

    Really looking forward to starting it - not too long to go as it starts on 20th September.

    Good luck with level 3 - have you done level 2?

    Morning all!

    Friday! Yippee! Weather's nice and rubbish ready for a bank holiday weekend down here, oh well!

    Thanks DNMS for starting the thread, lots of happy smileys today!

    Candy - what level AAT are you doing, I've just signed up to do 3 in Sept.

    DawnW - lucky you, enjoy your week off!

    Today I have/will:
    • [STRIKE]Check banking[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check CC - see if money's come off yet[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check TCB[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check Ebay[/STRIKE]
    • Sort out test items
    • [STRIKE]Look for cheap UK holiday for a couple of nights - finally convinced the boy that the best part of £1500 for the two of us for 6 nights is NOT a cheap package holiday![/STRIKE] booked 4 nights away at a little cottage in Devon with a swimming pool (shared between 6 cottages) for £187 - bargain! All booked for two weeks time, very excited!
    • Look into making my own fly catcher to nestle amongst the plants on the windowsill
    • [STRIKE]Work hard[/STRIKE]
    • OU
    • [STRIKE]NSD - possibly might pop to Tesco to buy £13 vodka for Christmas present, but might do it tomorrow to ensure an NSD today![/STRIKE] Will go to Tesco tonight, realised I had a £3 off £20 spend voucher that expires today so will get my two bottles for £11.50 each, bargain!
    • Look for vouchers for dinner tonight, decided as it's payday we'd treat ourselves to a Dominos that's just opened up a little while away - I get the feeling the £3 pizzas from Asda will trump it though!
    • Smile lots - it's Friday!:T:T:T:T:T:T:T
    Have a great day everyone, will update later!

    Hi everyone!

    Hope you've all had good days!

    Received a free pack of salad leaves today from a link Ally put up a few weeks ago - thank you!! Also dug out stuff required for MOT tomorrow so I don't forget to do it in the morning!

    Candy - I did level 2 last September, finished in March. I found it quite simple and I had no bookkeeping knowledge whatsoever so you should find it easy peasy!
    Ixia - enjoy Edinburgh, it's on my list of places to visit!
    Wannabe - what a great haul in the post this morning, who do you do product trials with if you don't mind my asking?
    Pernicious - enjoy your meal!
    Aria - hope you're feeling better, I'm a bit bunged up today - rubbish!
    Rock_Cakes - is pizza dough difficult to make? I can just about manage Twinks hobnobs, anything else scares me a bit!
    Dizzy - enjoy camping!
    Yargo - hope you managed a great, sparkly day!
    WelshWoofer - hope you had a nice lunch, see anyone famous?!
    Shezam - have a great party!
    Josie - doh re lunch, I hate feeling all prepared then realising at the last minute I've completely forgotten to do something!
    Stitchy - hope you enjoyed your day of sewing!

    Hope you all have a great evening, sun's finally come out here!

    Hi everyone :wave:

    I'm doing overtime tomorrow - 3 hours @ £23/h so not too bad I guess. Did 13.5 last weekend so that'll be nice come next pay day. :)

    Picked up hire car - cheaper than train tickets for 2 :money:

    Got 'car hire excess' insurance online for £4.75 a day rather than £12+ from car hire company ;)

    Put in to the lotto sweepstake at work...probably a waste of £2 but you've gotta be in it to win it all that :D

    Decided not to go to cinema - feeling like I've got a bit of a cold coming on so staying in with tea and paracetamol instead :cool:

  • I finally got my credit file off Experian and was shocked at how much better it was than I thought it was going to be.

    It's nice when life brings you roses not !!!!!!! :j
