    Fun day for me so far. I've:

    - Taken the hilly route to work, to save fuel on the downhills
    - Tested the scrap-fixed screenwash (works fine!)
    - Brought my phone charger to work
    - Brought a packed lunch too
    - Just had a (phone) interview for a job; went well, I think.

    And later today, I will:

    - Fill out my fuel expenses for April
    - Check online banks

    ani*fan: You mention that you'll be driving at 50, to save fuel. Could I suggest driving at 60 instead; I find that the fuel usage is a bit higher at 50, due to the lower torque.

    after my successful bringing my own lunch with me on friday was in a dither this morning and had to get in early so failed - will get back on track tomorrow though :o

    I will however catch up on surveys, clickthrus etc and comps whilst eating my lunch.

    and now we can use our garden (new build property and grass in back garden has now been laid and left for long enough) we can get our washing line - going to get it from Argos using vouchers from ipsos - have never had an outdoor washing line of my own before (although we always have an airer indoors and never use our tumble drier) so looking forward to getting that - will probably be after work tomorrow but I'll try and reserve it today.

    Have just been on Argos website and it's been reduced by £4 - so will have £4.01 to go in Olympic Challenge once I buy it - reserved one to collect tomorrow :)

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