    Hello Steppers!

    Hope you have all enjoyed your long weekend. Shame about the weather but you seem to have partied on despite the rain!

    Back to work today after a bank holiday weekend here too. So a bit of a sluggish day and not feeling very steppy!

    Today I have already:

    - checked the bank :D
    - written up spending diary
    - done polls & cashback site :D
    - paid cheque in at bank at lunchtime :D
    - paid and cleared credit card! :T :D

    This evening I will:

    - Quick shop at Lidl before driving home :D
    - hoover the bedrooms :(
    - make a hotpot or something like with lamb from freezer :D
    - empty washer & put in dryer & sort & put away :D
    - look for bank statements :(

    I really feel like crawling into bed so I will have to fight the lethargy when I get home

    **Also I organised some people for a market research discussion group next Monday. Money for talking!! If only I could get that every day!! :rotfl:**
