Plan for today:

- Quick trip to JL to order mattress - will pay deposit on JL CC (double points this weekend) and apply for interest-free credit for the balance so that I don't have to dip into savings
- Pay CCs, transfer £500 to regular saver, make MOP
- Couple of work e-mails
- Potter in garden/pot up seedlings
- Muck out The Girls
- Ironing
- Pack for business trip
- Book flights
