    Thanks GRC - most of my family have had a cold, but mine seemed to turn nasty. So glad I feel better now - that was the worst I have felt for a good couple of years.

    Good day today - I received £3 Luncheon vouchers in the post, a £6 Amazon voucher for doing a Sky survey and have also redeemed for another £5 voucher (I've got £40 in Amazon and am waiting for another £20 :)).

    Going to visit OH's parents on Saturday, not staying overnight though (thank God ;)).

    Survived the trip to the 'in-laws'. They are coming to us mid-March for one night, as OH is going to Poland with them. It was his dad's Christmas present and they don't want to go on their own. I could have gone, but I would be bored to tears.

    So I'm going to have 5 days to myself in March. Also, OH is going to Berlin with his mate a week today (they are trying to visit all the European capitals), so I will also have a week to myself then. Really looking forward to it. No boyfriend to clean up after + no waking up early + unlimited access to the TV = heaven ;).

    Won £10 on JPJ yesterday morning. Going to use that to buy my mum's mother's day present and card.

    Really excited. I'm off to Wimbledon on 27 June :j:j. My sister got offered tickets today. Centre Court no less, so if it rains, they will just bung the roof on and we'll still get to see tennis :T:T. The tickets are £62, but my sister has said she will buy mine for my birthday present. So all I need to do is find money for train fare.

    Got another £10 Amazon voucher yesterday, so I now have £55 in my account and am waiting for another £15.

    Got a flat inspection on Friday, so busy trying to get the flat clean and tidy. Wish OH was away this week as it would be a lot easier to keep it tidy.

    I have no TV at home :mad::eek:!! All 3 flats in our block are out, so it must be something to do with the aerial. I don't even have Sky. Hoping the lettings agent will get it sorted pronto. Can't see much happening over the weekend if they don't get it fixed today or tomorrow :(. I've been re-watching my Vampire Diaries DVDs for entertainment (and a bit of eye candy ;)).

    Nearly got the flat all clean for the inspection tomorrow. Just need to hoover the living room.

    Won another £10 on JPJ yesterday :).

    :j I have TV again :j. It was working last night when I got home. Flat all spick and span for inspection.

    I had the most lovely dream last night. I won £23,000 on a progressive jackpot on Sky Vegas (very specific, I know). I was even planning what I was going to do with it. I then woke up and felt thoroughly disappointed :(. The feeling of relief in the dream was wonderful. Oh well, back to reality.

    Off out for drinks tonight with some friends as it's one of their birthdays. I have a £20 budget which I will stick to.

    Just popping on here before I go to sleep.

    Glad it's March tomorrow. February felt like a bit of a wash out, seeing as I was ill for most of it.

    Got a busy day tomorrow, so think a list is in order to make sure I don't forget anything:
    1. [STRIKE]Call Ford to sort out car paperwork[/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE]Call chemist to make sure they did my prescription properly[/STRIKE]
    3. [STRIKE]Put cheque in the bank[/STRIKE]
    4. [STRIKE]Do MS job 1[/STRIKE]
    5. [STRIKE]Do MS job 2[/STRIKE]
    6. [STRIKE]Do MS job 3[/STRIKE]
    7. [STRIKE]Do MS job 4[/STRIKE]
    8. [STRIKE]Do 20 questions on 63336[/STRIKE]
    9. [STRIKE]Download the songs for my sister's iPod[/STRIKE]
    10. [STRIKE]Do a load of washing[/STRIKE]

    One of the MS jobs has £4 of free food shopping :T

    Night night

    Tomorrow's list:
    1. Go to Ford garage to sign some paperwork
    2. 140 questions on 63336
    3. Try to fix my broken purse
    4. Tidy up flat a bit

    Off to bed now. Night night.
