Evening all,
Just got back, spent £4.97 on essentials in Tesco Express and just realised tomorrow wont be a NSD either as its Jeans for Genes day at work so that's £2 I have to spend, next week fingers crossed I'll have a few more.
Not feeling great and got a stinking headache, sore throat, you name it so im going to curl up on the couch with my duvet and feel sorry for myself - also a free activity!
I had 2 free tickets to go to the army boxing at the Royal Albert Hall Tomorrow night but it's black tie and my date let me down and I would have spent money so I passed them on to a couple of the troopers who will enjoy them. Plus if i feel like this I'll be heading straight for bed once works done!
Can't think of anything else to report so I will sign off, night allSantander 0% £1,529.94

Morning All,
TFIF!As much as I love my job I am very much looking forward to the weekend! I still feel rotten so am dosing up on nurofen. So far today I have paid £2 toward the jeans for genes day - I actually nearly forgot and put my work trousers on at first! I got it out my change pot though and didn't break my tenner so I'm still counting to day as a NSD so far.
Nearly had a heart attack in boots just now. I took in the prescription I got yesterday - used the private doctor provided by work to save time as it's right by the office and you get in so quickly - and they asked for £23.30 :eek::eek::eek: It's usually free on the good old NHS. Now that I am being a MSE I politley told her I would leave it and am waiting for 9am to roll round so I can call my NHS doctor and ask him for the same thing. That'll teach me!
Office v.quiet this morning even though I'm early I think a lot are suffering with a bad head!
Tonight I plan to go to the library to study for an hour as my head was pounding too much last night to do anything and I can pick a couple of books to take me through the train journey home this weekend. :A

Done even more surveys this evening, need to check my eye on those accounts!
Went for a drink after work - my turn to pay next time but did have to pay for lunch in cash so not a NSD day today.
Going home tomorrow, hope I manage to be good. Debating weather to take my card or not....

I've just realised that instead of paying £12 off my c card today I paid £112!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh god!
Just updated my budget to reflect this as I'm £22 short this month so I will transfer over all my amazon and ebay money and it should be covered. LOL! For the first time ever I've overspent on the right thing! LOLSantander 0% £1,529.94

I would be inclined to leave your card at home if you head off tomorrow.
Remember when you have cooked the chicken and picked the meat off it that you can put the carcass in a pan of water with onion, carrot, celery, seasoning and herbs to make a stock. I do this and after fishing the bones out I tend to have it as a soup (because there are so many chicken pieces in it).
Well done on the mistaken overpayment though.0 -
I think so too. I will make a sandwich for the journey, I have crisps at home too so cant just buy a bottle of water on way 50p or so... then can make another packed lunch for journey back on Sunday and cant see any reason to spend inbetween. It's be awesome if I could stick to that.
Mmm I will definitley do that, this was just a breast but will save your posts.
Haha thanks!! Even more reason to be careful now!Santander 0% £1,529.94
