    Yeahhhh its payday. My aim today and in fact this week is NOT to draw money out of my account, but to live off the money I've got in my purse. I've got petrol in the car, food in the house and no bills that need paying so this does seem to be achievable. However, the temptation to shop shop shop is going to be strong today.

    Homemade lunch, claiming work expenses, and not cracking open a can of beer when I get home from work!

  • Am going to walk down to the shops later to get some stamps... been living here for almost 5 years and not once have I walked to the shops!!! :eek: :eek:

    Been there, done that. Feeling lots better for a blast of fresh air and it only took 20 mins or so.

    Am also about to hang some washing outside. Probably wouldn't have done that if I hadn't of been out for my walk.

    Have also turned the heating off and opened a window. Again, wouldn't have done that if I hadn't have been out! Hint of the day - go out for a walk!!!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    I've taken a commission for a birthday cake, which means money :) and practice

    I've been spending this morning so far trying to work out how much I can pay off my loan this month, its got to the point now where the end is in sight and I want it gone NOW *stamps feet*

    I will be buying my lunch but thats ok cos I'm losing weight at the moment, if I bring in lunch I eat it cos its there and still end up buying lunch. But cos Im losing weight its not as expensive as it was!

    not getting diet coke today though so theres 90p saved :)
