What about something like a teacup candle? I have a colleague at work who does them on the side. She does teacups and retro glasses. I can PM you her FB page if you want a look?

In my old office we could order "To Do List" books from our stationery cupboard and one of them came with me when I left Staples have one that is similar by the looks of things. The one I have has a box beside each item for ticking things off (very satisfying) and a box for "priority" so you can highlight urgent things.

Ohhhhhh like the look of that!:T

Will hunt the desk drawers tomorrow as have lots of notebooks etc (have a bit of a *thing* about stationery for some reason) and see if I can mark one of them up. This would probably work better as used to filling in my spending diary on paper rather than on the phone!

I'm entirely puggled and can't be cheese typing out my full list today - suffice it to say that I did all six items on the list and added another five things, which included claiming another £5 Amazon voucher from SB.

I have been a little spendy today - I bought some craft stuff (not essential), a new jumper (only a tenner from Primark and quite cosy. In Scotland, that's essential), some thermal tights and a pair of new mittens. I also went out for tea and cake with a friend which was most tasty and under a fiver.

I had a missed call from someone about a job I applied for so I'm calling them back in the morning and the rest of the night is going to be spent catching up on telly (I love TiVO!) and crafting.

Good day yesterday - cheque for £220 came in the post for shares in my old employer that I had forgotten about I walked to the bank for the exercise and the funds will clear next week.

I'm using £200 of that to pay for a weekend away I have planned next year, so that takes the pressure off for that. The money is hidden away in a savings account so I can forget about it for now.

The remaining £20 has been added to the fund for Christmas along with the £30 I received from Quidco this morning. I got Mr Moo some aftershave today for £11 instead of the cheapest I've seen it elsewhere which was around £20 and got 8% Quidco on that too. :money:

Another £10 arrived in Amazon vouchers this morning, so I have £22 in my account now. I need to order a couple more things, but have to sit down and work out a list first. Got a present for the Demon Sister-In-Law but Mr Moo isn't sure if she'll like it. He'll be buying the gift himself at this rate

Major plan for today is to pay the garage bill for the MOT. It should be small as although we had to get a bit of work done we get family discount

All sounds good

Mr Moo is coming back today :j The MOT/service/replacement of brake pads/addition of shock absorber (or something) cost £200 all in which isn't bad at all. Car account is now down to £254.

The house is a lot cleaner as I've been bored without him so have been doing more housework My to do lists have been working well and quite a few little jobs I've been putting off have been completed. I was talking to a friend about computer games last night which reminded me that I have some sitting and not being used, so I traded in one last night with Amazon and will post it on Monday once I've confirmed with Mr Moo if I can get rid of any of his old games

The jobhunt is ticking along; I applied for eight jobs yesterday and have a few stored which need a bit more application form effort to be applied to them. I've been playing telephone ping pong with a woman from a local recruitment agency, but she emailed me to say she's calling me on Monday and has a vacancy she thinks I might be suited for, so I have to compose an email back to her this afternoon.

I'm halfway to my next AGC with SB and only need one more survey on MySurvey to get one too. I have also done Nectar surveys and watched more videos on Adpoints, so my Amazon fund should be healthy for the next wee while. I did buy two Christmas presents from there yesterday though so it's looking forlorn at the moment
