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!
Happy Friday everyone.0 -
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?

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
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
