My main thought though, was typical, why couldn't it have been a little mini one instead of one of those ones that are the same size and girth as a submarine torpedo!!!!!!!!
:rotfl:

*snort* Brilliant!

Anyway, I'm here to report yesterday as a spendy day (forgot the toll bridge from Essex to Kent (and back again)), and a lack of organisation which meant I didn't aggregate all my spends yesterday and get liquid gold or chocolate (I seem to have run out...:eek:)...which means I'll need to do that today.

I swear, I am my own worst enemy on these challenges.. *quietly ponders whether Freeby has witchy-poo powers of sabotage*;)

No witchity powers I'm afraid, or I would be using them to witchity myself out of this carp
Unfortunately for you I had another NSD yesterday (but I'm not complaining)
Fortunately for you I have been out and spent a small fortune on gold dust and a birthday present today. (I am complaining but it had to be done)
Also discovered FarmFoods :j Who knew???
I must be a huge snob because I've never really shopped in there before but I went in today and OMG I lurrrrvvvveee FFoods. Will be there much more often now. I only bought branded stuff though, it might be a bit of trial and error with their own stuff, does anyone else go there?

Sold another little something on ebay yesterday I like these wee bits going into my paypal account. Will list some more under 99p stuff tomorrow and see how they go. I am slowly trying to get rid of my books to save up to buy a kindle A kindle is my dream item at the moment. I keep seeing people with them and end up stamping my feet and whining 'I want one'

Oh and look out Carpital One card, I'm coming to get you :rotfl:

*stamps feet* me too!! I'm thinking of starting a sealing pot challenge in order to fund my one. Have been dreaming of one for ages - especially remembering the several hundred (!) books I've got rid of over the last two house moves....

What's a bit frustrating is that there've been times when I could have 'afforded' (ie had money which I decided to fritter rather than use to clear debt) one, but opted not to bother.

Good Morning, after such a spendy day yesterday I now plan to spend the rest of the week in bed with the covers over my head
I'm not sure how that will go at work but at least I'll be warm (blimmin' office is blimmin' freezing) and it's very difficult to take the duvet to the shops.

Nothing planned for today. I have much housework to catch up on, books to list on ebay and lots of sky plus to watch (only 5% left on planner :eek:)

I have updated my spreadsheet for Jan/Feb and it is very very (keep verying until you can't very anymore) tight. In some ways I am so pleased I paid off F/mans but in other ways I'm not, it would have made things much easier this month if I hadn't, but I have to look at the bigger picture here. I am closer to being debt free and then my money will be all mine :T I haven't updated my snowball thingy so I will do that today to see if paying that off has made a difference to my debt free date *crosses toes, as I can't type with crossed fingers*

I cashed in two survey rewards yesterday. So I should have an amazon voucher and a cheque for approx £25 winging it's way towards me :j Surveys are mind numbingly boring but I like the rewards so I'll keep ploughing through them. And I do like to give my opinion, as you may have noticed :rotfl:

Right, I'm off to get started but might have to stop when I reach the kettle because it keeps calling my name and as the kettle is just below the cupboard with the chocolate I might have to shut that up as well

Right, I'm off to get started ..........on the coffee and the chocolate :T

Morning!

Can I recommend a sleeping bag for the office, and a 'onesie' for keeping you warm while shopping?

And can I say how inspiring I'm finding your post today - so uplifting, and motivational...*shuffles off to find a cuppa and spare chocolate*

Looks like it's going to be another bright and clear (if cold) day here - lovely. Hope it's equally bright and lovely up with you.
