    I've done a £100 OP today, which has made our current account very low, but it's payday on Friday, so, if nothing else, it'll make me not spend for the rest of the week! :rotfl:

    I made broccoli and stilton soup for tea, which was very yummy and filling :) got enough left over for lunch tomorrow, so I'll take a bit of bread too and that's lunch sorted.

    Not much else to report, apart from 4 days til half term :j :j

    Sounds delicious - even Mrs E will eat that - and she hates stilton! That said, I pity your colleagues :p

    Nearly payday :) I can't wait to balance the books! (Yes, I am that sad :o )

    Two long days left until half term - tomorrow I have extra classes after school til 5PM and Friday is my long day without a break, as I'm on duty as well. Still, only 2 days left til a break, can't complain :)

    Not much planned for half term I don't think, I'll probably pop and see my parents for a couple of days, then just potter and do stuff in the house the rest of the time :) I will have some school work to do as well, plus I want to start planning christmas shopping and looking at what bargains there are.

    Just a small £3.28 to the emergency fund. Baby steps :)

    Erm, huh? Are you asking what's EF? If so, it's Emergency Fund :)
