    Just made my first OP - £50! :D Ooh, it's exciting :o

    Not planning on spending anything today - I'm eating leftovers for lunch and not going out anywhere else today. We're waiting for a tumble dryer to be delivered, but it's already paid for :D

    It's all exciting around here ;)

    Right, I've done some much needed shredding/filing that I've put off for ages - I feel much better now it's been done, I don't know why I don't just do it everytime I get something, rather than letting it pile up! Maybe that should be a 2013 aim...

    I'm having left over curry for lunch - trying to wait as long as possible to eat it as I know it's going to be very tasty! :D

    Still no sign of the tumble dryer.... the delivery time is supposed to be between 10am and 1pm, so they'll probably turn up at 12:59pm :wall:
