Hi London Girl - it's taken me a while but I've finally read your whole diary and it's inspired me to do the £10 a day challenge! This is going to sound stupid but exactly how do you do it? Do you take out all your £10's one one day and then keep them somewhere and put one a day in your purse then move it to another pot? I'm a process and rules person so need to figure out exactly what to do and then I'll stick to it!

Hi
wow well done its certainly getting long now! lol Great!
Not stupid at all, thats exactly how I do it, withdraw £70 each week and stick it in a pot. Each day take a tenner out and if you dont spend it pop it in the "NSD" pot then that money is yours extra to do with what you like!!

Oh no, that is not good, I have to confess to drinking a red bull just now. I know its toxic but it doesnt half work!! Hope you sleep better tonight
If I did that I'd be in hospital....get thyself an espresso machine and all will be well:D Or a moka pot :money:
Anyhow was mega tired last night so didn't post then C came over (he's very much in recovery though too old for me though bought me a bottle of wine :eek:) and he's going to help me blitz on Monday...so I will have this fabbo tidy flat by tuesday DV...I'm already working on the kitchen in the morning (3 foot of stuck down coffee and sugar grinds stuck to the floor and worksurface. No wonder there were so many beasties...they were all feasting on the sugar)
So yeah...need home made cleaners. Have put vinegar and citronella in the worksurface cleaner. Think I might have to get some bicarb and lemon juice. Don't know. I can get it cheap. Just would rather go natural.
Och and I passed my ECDL excel with 83% - don't know how I managed that LOL. Was convinced all am and like half way through the exam I'd failed...LOL
So only 3 more to go and it's done :j...then job hunt

Hi Everyone,
Feeling a lot more rested today after a lie in until half 8! Missing out on work for a couple of hours was a pain and tomorrow I'll have to come in and do a full day I think there's just so much to do and some plonker gave me some work to be done by Tuesday that I usually get a week to do so I wasn't impressed at that!
Tonight me and the other girl who passed her exams are going to the pub with a few others to celebrate, I have some of my ebay earnings to spend but won't go mad anyway as I want a good nights sleep if I'm coming here tomorrow.
When I got in last night my flatmate had left me a card with instructions to look in the fridge - pink champagne!!! Mmmm yum she is naughty but nice! LOL so we are stayng in tomorrow with our other FM and his GF to watch terrible tele and have a few drinks!
Sunday - rest day possibly pop a few more bits on ebay have identifed two more dresses and some other bits. I have 5 items ending on Sudnay night - all bar one have watchers, no bids yet.Santander 0% £1,529.94

Sorry have been awol for a while - just need more time to read.
Have been working hard at Facebook games and going out with friends - tut tut.
I'm not going to catch up properly yet but a quick glance shows me two of you with congratulations on order. :j:j:j Sooooo well done both of you!
:beer::T:T:beer::T:T:beer::T:T:beer:
(Hoping some of it will rub off on me, LOL. DD passed her GCSE Maths yesterday which is fab as it no longer stands in the way of her going to Uni - so maybe between the three of you, Miggy will finally get down to the neglected NVQ.)
(Or maybe not... have been offered a couple more shifts at work though so maybe I will get some more 'evidence' in. One is a weekend so I may be able to get it signed off by a particular weekend member of staff who did my first piece of work and I know he gives useful feedback).
Sorry, thinking aloud... need to go now, off to Mum's then working for the next three nights... see you when I emerge!Miggy

I know! I think I might have to do that! LOL I cried both times at the theatre!! Have you seen International Velvet? Wonderful film!!
Thank you, thats really nice
Take care
LG
Hello again!
Oh dear - I assumed you would get over time working all those extra hours! Still if you get an extra day or two off it isn't all bad.
Really well done on passing you exam - I'm sure you will have nailed the final ones in no time.0
