    Hi everyone,

    RFTA - Table cover looks great :) Well done!
    DNMS - Nice work on the bargains!

    Unfortunately I've lost half the day to sleep again :o

    I'm still a bit annoyed from my shift last night as I have no idea when I need to work on Xmas eve now. First they had me down for 6-10, then last night I was asked if I could do 5-9, which was perfect as then I can still see my niece & sister, & can go out & see friends afterwards, I just miss out on dinner with the folks if they are not going abroad this year. But then I was told I am needed from 7-midnight, & depending on how busy they are until close...if that's the case I miss out on seeing the folks & friends, not happy since I've not actually been asked just told >.< It's not a normal working day for me & I appreciate as it is xmas eve they need more than their usual number of staff in...but there are better ways of going about things!

    Today I have/will:-
    • Food from stores
    • Free dinner round the in laws this evening
    • Charge phone via pc
    • Heating off as long as possible, lots of layers instead
    • Daily clicks etc on Sw@gbucks
    • Need to log calories using free app
    • Check online banking
    • Surveys
    • Declutter & flylady
    • Check for more mystery shopping opportunities
    • Take a photo for NUS card
    • Enter some comps
    • Thinking about what to get people for Xmas & how best to stick to my budget for DH...
    • Asked DH to call for more info about a car boot sale taking place next month
    • Need to update grocery challenge
    • Enter receipt details into Mr T's price check
    • Washing on eco setting using less than the recommended dose of washing liquid
    • Hang up to dry
    Have a great, MSE day everyone x

    - [STRIKE]continue with the no smoking[/STRIKE]
    - [STRIKE]mend hoover (could have taken it into shop but decided to tap up ebay and will attempt this manoever later!)[/STRIKE]
    - plan tesco shop online (using codes & extra clubcard points) - doing!
    [STRIKE]- try to enter gas/ electricity meter readings - tried but couldn't do it on iphone![/STRIKE]
    - [STRIKE]make dinner tonight and use up veg that is about to turn [/STRIKE]
    - [STRIKE]make enough for lunch tomorrow at work[/STRIKE]
    - sort out the 'on-line' thing - doing!
    - contact cineworld re: overpayment from last week - tried but customer services not open on a Sunday

    And that be me for today...

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Woohoo! :j We've booked the car boot sale now, we've got an indoor pitch so no need to worry about the weather & I've just asked on FB if anyone has a clothes rail we can borrow. Have any of you bright people got any ideas on what else we could use to display clothes if we can't get hold of one? I don't really want to buy a new one for £8 as that's the cheapest I've seen it!
