    Suffering mortgage over payment withdrawal symptoms:((trying to save until April when I can over pay again). Accidentally bought some clothes today - oops:o that's what happens when you get distracted by decent buskers wander over to listen then spot a sale on... I usually avoid the street entirely (unless I want to go to the loo). Oh that sounds bad - I don't pee in the street honest!

    Hard day at work today - soooo tired now and there were some particularly foul smelling customers today:eek::eek: did provoke a wee discussion with boss later as he said he really didn't want to rent them stuff but was undecided what to do, so what did he do? He left us to it and went to his office:rotfl::rotfl: if I had that option I would have done that too:D

    Wee bit of essay writing then a film and some wine with LM later:D

    Did a bit of essay writing yesterday and was planning a walk with LM but it poured :( so ended up having a wee look at kitchens and pricing up some other stuff I need to finish off my flat - nothing that pricey on it's own (apart from kitchen) but it all adds up:eek:
    Came home and sorted out ironing and made a tea bread, hoping that will be nice but will be a cheap snack.
    Sandwiches made for train on way to uni and pulled pork out of freezer for later. My elderly fridge freezer will need defrosting for kitchen fitting so I'm already trying to run down the stocks :D
    Hoping for NSD today.

    Not much happening here - £7 OP just keeping SO kicking over. Forgot to take chicken out of the freezer so will not be having chicken cacciatore for dinner after all, I'm thinking egg and chips so DS will be delighted...
    LM and I are on big savings drive so we were going out to dinner tomorrow but have decided to eat at mine instead, more money to moving pot:smileyhea

    Today will be washing, ironing, food shopping and essay writing - hoping to get to at least half way today (1000 words) and only at 250 so far but have lots of post its in books marking pages and a plan so hopefully will get there....
