    Funny old day in the office today which resulted in me working late and cursing a former employee under my breath pretty much the whole day.......not that it's the first time! I should have known better than to think the last of her jobs would be right given that none of the others were either! One pile of doo-doo after another!

    Still, I am home and happy, having found glass latte mugs for hubby's new love (his coffee machine :D) at a silly cheap price - and it will make him smile when he gets home. Meanwhile, I am waiting on a few more USD pennies before I can cash out my first US Qmee dollar and transfer it immediately to my CC!!!! How cooooooool is that!?

    Looking forward to a walk out with hubby later to womble some receipts. 20p was found at the station this morning so that started my day/week off right! Hope everyone else has had a lovely start to the week. :)

    Well, we are nearly two thirds of the way through November and near enough only a month away from Christmas....:eek:.....and I am already hotly anticipating December and it's got nothing to do with trees, sparkly interiors, or presents! No I am far more excited at the prospect of some large chunks of cash hitting my bank account and seeing just how looooow I can get my cc.....really, honest to goodness, excited beyond measure!!! And I KNOW that it will be gone in January no matte what. Now that is a good feeling!

    Although sitting on this train in the sunshine that has broken over a frosty North Yorkshire morning is pretty lovely too! Some of the views are just magnificent.

    Wishing everyone a profitable Tuesday - keep pushing on and don't ever believe that something is too small to make a difference. Small things can and do add up to be huge things so take every opportunity and every penny.....and don't forget to smile along the way! Those add up too! Lots of love and luck to all my fellow DFWs. :kiss:

    Well chuffed with myself! Found my first ever £2 coin on the way home tonight which takes me to over £15 found this month alone - and no paper finds for me this month either if you don't count the £4 I made picking up a scratchcard from the floor!
