    Hi people..

    This is my NSD plan for the week...

    I have brought lunch in (cous cous and chicken noodle soup)....
    -Use the £5 morisons voucher to buy lunch for the next 1 month (got the voucher from buying my weekly petrol). Not sure what to get idea's welcome....

    -Travelling to Germany on Thursday for work - Plan to take the bus and charge the company the taxi fare £80 versus £3:50 spent...(not sure how ethical this is .....would you do it??)

    -Do my ebay listing - A pair of size 14 reebok pump trainers
    Genuine Breitling stainless steel strap - bought for my fake Breitling but doesn't fit....(I should have known...)

    Won't they need a receipt though???

    I've done piggy comps and will do piggy CT's when they occur!
    Tried out new receipe for pasta salad for work lunch - yum, no bread!
    Desperately trying not to spend un-necessary money though I've failed the past few weeks :(

    That's it I think!

    They will, but most mini cab company's are very slack in giving proper receipts... to save money they use the back of the little cards as receipts which you can pick up from any cab company....

    Anyway I've had a bout of guilty conscience so I won't be doing it...

    Working from home today although I've not really done any work yet. Whoops! I will though...

    Did my pigsback clicks
    Reduced one of my buy it now items by 20p so hoping someone will buy it as it is new and I'm selling it cheaper that the price I paid for it last Friday.
    Phone Scottish Power using a freephone number to give them my gas and electricity meter readings and asked them to send me the £70 credit from my gas account!
    Did housework which means I don't need to do any tonight.
    Phoned guy to come round about getting a new lock on garage so hopefully he will be round soon.
    Brought a calendar for £1.24 which I'm really pleased about as I refused to pay £6.99 for it or even when it was reduced to half price!
    Brought The Sun paper but used a free Sun coupon.
    Collected a couple of prescriptions and did my recycling too...
