    Exactly, beach holidays especially have a habit of forcing you to the gym!:rotfl:

    When the weather is this rubbish as well I just want to wrap up and stay inside. Its my friends birthday on Saturday and he's having a BBQ...so hope it doesnt rain!

    Ah well, I was worth a try ;) Next time I'll have to get in there earlier!

    Monday night housework for me - how very rock n roll! I bet Kylie is doing the same to be honest. :D

    I've done lots of surveys today and my perfumes are selling well on Ebay - who knew! I've only used them once or twice as I didn't like the smell, but I never thought someone would want them.

    Morning

    Had a great day at the show, managed to spend £13 but only had a stick of fudge to show for it? And that was for the OH :rotfl: Caught the sun as well, I'm glad we chose yesterday and not today seems like normal service has resumed smiley-angry020.gif

    Back to work today so I'm not too bothered about the rain.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Good morning

    Another beautiful day I see smiley-angry020.gif
    not that it really matters being stuck in the office for 12hours smiley-angry029.gif
    I've got Sunday off though so only a 3 day week smiley-happy110.gif

    I think today should be another NSD, I can't think of anything that I need to buy smiley-think005.gif

    I'm hoping today won't be too busy at work (although it's Friday so it probably will be) so I can work out how much I need to save each month towards road tax & insurance etc... each month. I opened a savings acc with NWide yesterday that's not too bad interest but if you withdraw more than 5 times in 1 year you lose the rate so that should be an incentive to not move it back into the current acc if I think I'm going to be short that month.
    Car insurance is due at the end of August though so I need to put away about £100 p/month for that for the next couple of months. So this may have to take precedence over overpayments for now smiley-think005.gif

    Right lets see what work needs doing...
