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

    Hi

    I coloured my hair today and saved myself £60 approx. We went to Tescos as we had nothing in. so that cost us £60 (OH is a hungry man!!)

    Going to the gym next. Then on to OH's parents for Steak Pie Yum!!!

    it's higher english, one is a critical essay on a poem/prose/movie (the shawshnk redemption) that we've studied in preperation for my exam, the other is a discursive essay that I'm going to be doing on bankruptcy...got a couple of links from the bankruptcy forum for help on that, just a case of getting my finger out....which I'm not managing. was *supposed* to start at two but got distracted with housework, it's the only time I do any, when I've got something else I really should be doing!

    It's amazing how attractive housework becomes when you're meant to be studying - I did some Open University courses a few years ago and I've never had so much enthusiasm for dusting :rotfl:

    I haven't left the house today so not spent any money, have written cheques for all my monthly payments to loan, credit card etc... and that's about it!

    Ditto how attractive housework becomes... I should be working on my NVQ 4 but this is far more attractive and then I will prob go for a kip.

    Good luck LJ

    Hellooo!!

    After a long day out, I have:

    - managed to make pack-up at 4am thereby saving money usually spent on overpriced barbecue stuff at the ski slope.
    - downloaded free open office software instead of paying ridiculous price for microsoft office
    - found a way of not having to replace my dictaphone which is not compatible with new laptop :mad:

    Now I am going to have an early night before I fall asleep on my keyboard!
