Should have read 'hell' of course. Was in Wales for the weekend visiting family and seems everyone is coming home now after a hot weekend! All I want is a pair of tracksuit bottoms, a cup of tea, a sofa and Downton Abbey!!

Hi LG,
it sounds like you are doing really well sticking to your budget! What a nuisance the MS meal didn't go to plan-hope you get your travelling expenses reimbursed.

Thanks!

Me too it was such a waste of time!

In other news, have sold a CD and DVD on amazon today making over a tenner :money:

Woohoo! Well done on the tenner. Gotta keep selling so you make enough to withdraw it from paypal for free now :-)

Cheers :beer:

I didn't realise they charged, how much do I have to earn before I can take it?

Thanks

I haven't sold anything for a long time so not entirely sure, but it used to be £50. You can withdraw less but I think they charge a fee. This may have changed, I'm sure someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong

Happy Monday all,

I have just returned to my desk after an hour basking in the sun thanks to a fire alarm, not a bad start to the week at all

I posted off the CD and DVD I sold so that I can be paid and hopefully get good feedback. Paid about a fiver in postage for them both but I'm not including that as a spend as technically the buyer paid it and overall I'm earning money, so today is looking like a NSD.

I have spent a bit too much of my canteen allowance for just a morning, so i need to cut that back this week. I forgot I'd bought a loaf of bread so had toast at work instead of home! duh! Breakfast at home from tomorrow or I'll end up topping up the allowance.

Im aiming for 3 NSD's this week as I'd like to have £40 (inc Saturdays) budget to take home with me this weekend for my neices 1st birthday. I have already paid for my travel and her present so that's good and the party is at home so shouldn't have to spend there either. I'm also planning to make myself a packed lunch from left over party food for the train journey back south on Sunday which would save me the usual fiver on a stale sandwich and bottle of coke. If Sunday could be a NSD that'd be a bonus. I joined the NSD thread to and am aiming for 15 this month but actually would like more so lets see how that goes!

There's a big night out from work on Thursday for the leaving drinks of 2 girls in the department. Now let me tell you, the people here can DRINK and I mean REALLY drink and the peer pressure to join in is huge. The last night out I went on cost me a ton and I crawled in at 3am with a stinking head - I'd only planned to go for the one. So here's the dilemma... I either say I'm busy and thus avoid all chance of ruining my good work or, I take a small amount of cash and no card. Option 2 worries me, as I'm a social butterfly and I worry I'll get carried away, no excuse will allow me to leave early and I'll be stuck in the city, drunk with no money for a cab home. I haven't comitted either way yet to the night but I am swinging towards option 1... unless anyone else has any better ideas???

I had a few emails from people who had been watching 2 of my items on ebay but missed the cut off, they asked if they would be re-listed as they wanted to bid so I have re-listed them all so fingers crossed I have more luck this time.

It is jeans for genes day on Friday so that's £2 I have to pay to charity meaning there's one NSD out the window this week!
