    Evenin' all

    Another NSD yesterday bringing me up to 7 so I've upped my target to 10 now!!

    Went to a friend's last night for a poker night, stake was £2 for the night and OH paid :D He won though £12 :rotfl: so he was £8 up:D We didn't leave til 1 this morning so after being at work for 12 hours I was knackered.

    Today has been quite busy, washed mine & OH's cars and our friend brought his round so that got a wash & quick polish. Then had to fill up :eek: had a 5p off Mr Ts voucher though which ran out today and I was nearly on empty so it made sense.

    Then to see DF and OH's DF too.

    Just chilling now before I iron OH's work stuff for tomorrow.

    Hope everyone's had a good day x

    I find on days like that, making a list and ticking off when I've done something really helps :)

    Good work on the NSD's badger!

    I had one on Saturday, mainly because I was too hungover to leave the house! Whoops!

    I hardly got any cleaning done at the weekend whcih means Ive got to do it all after work which is always hard because all I want to do is curl up on the sofa and watch trash TV! x

    Well as long as you had a good night ;) and a bonus NSD sounds good to me! goodone.gif

    Had a walk to Mr T this morning which helped wake me up, spent a grand total of 33p twocents.gif I found a fiver in my purse though :) then had to a pop to another shop for a bottle of milk and the greengrocers for a cabbage so another £2 spent. I'd got a £2 coin in my change from Mr T too so that was straight in the pot when I got home pixie.gif

    Have had a bit of a tidy and ran the hoover round everywhere. Going to pop to the gym in a mo, I haven't been for over 2 months now shy.gif so I need to get back into it.

    Well done you on the spendthrifty/house tidying/gym going morning!

    Work email & internet has been down so we've been stuck doing nothing. What did people do before computers were invented?!

    I need to get down to the gym too, I was going almost everyday and lost 9lbs before my holiday.. I seemed to have slipped somewhat since then! I dont know about you but I always feel better when I go, but its the getting there that I struggle with.

    Would you mind nipping over to mine and doing the hoovering there?Thanks :D:D

    Funnily enough I hadn't been since before I went on holiday, it felt like I had something to aim for then. I'm glad I've been though, I didn't do much but now I've been once I know I'll start going regularly again.

    I don't know how I would get through the working day without email or internet:o

    Umm err I've put the hoover away now sorry whistling.gif
