Today I will:
[STRIKE]Check banks
Check CCs - still no idea what my missing £30 is, rang Tesco yesterday and they were particularly unhelpful...
Check TCB - got about £8 which has been pending for AGGGGGES!
2lts water
Food from stores (topped up with some yummy giant chocolate buttons kindly donated from a colleague!)
NSD - desperately needed, only have £25 to last me 13 days (only 'fun' money mind, everything else budgeted!) and have a meal out for a birthday on Saturday - really don't want to hit the CC so might be a night on the tap water! Just thought I have a couple of bottles of cava left over from Xmas so might take them for getting ready drinks.
Drive economically - used nearly a tank of fuel getting to Plymouth last night, very annoying! Need to top up on way home.
Docs appt tonight
Do some exercise - maybe C25K, maybe cross trainer[/STRIKE]
Spend the evening on SB whilst doing OU stuff - OH gone to Munich on a stag weekend so have loads of free time all of a sudden!
Work hard, it's very quiet down here and I'm feeling my concentration lapse...!
Well that looks to have been a reasonably productive day, currently nosing around SB whilst my legs recouperate from cross trainer, then a bit of OU in bed! Early night tonight I think!
