    Hello :hello:

    Hope everyone is having a nice weekend?

    I got a NSD yesterday but I did have a bacon butty :o my lovely work colleague lent me the money for one, so I have to pay her back today. That does mean that I won't be getting a NSD today :o Not sure if I will get my target of 12? I'm on 8 atm.

    Yesterday afternoon, I finally got round to setting up a SO to one of my e-saver accounts which should cover my car insurance next year. This is the first time I've ever done this, I normally just stump it all up (like I will be doing this year) luckily it's not too much, it might mean that I go into my OD towards the end of the pay month.
    Pay day tomorrow:j need to get my Mum's birthday pressie's sorted, her bday is at the end of September but I won't have enough time after that payday to get the pressies.

    It's a nice quiet day at work today, a good one to have as the last day :T I've brought my BM in with me and have a sultana & honey loaf in it for us all to share. It'll be ready just in time for lunch :)

    Awww poop doesn't look like I'll be getting my cashback for the insurance
    A new quote must be generated after clicking through from Top CashBack. Using a previously saved quote will not be eligible for cashback.

    I've only just noticed that, I used a saved quote because I've gone through TCB or Quidco before and the quote has been higher.
    Oh well they were still the cheapest for me before cashback.

    Shame about the cashback, but at least they are still the cheapest.
