Cheery's buttling diary: tea in one hand, plant pot in the other, running shoes on

Very easy to be foiled by a pesky NSD pippi!

stupid phone won't let me read back on the bus so have no idea where i'm up to or if anyone else has replied, so sorry...

yesterday, lots of work spends but the only thing out of my own pocket was £6 for a salad and a cuppa at the station - i could have claimed for it too but i was so tired i entirely forgot the receipt....

hoping i already wrote monday's spends cos i now can't remember... :$ :rotfl:

In the office today, have brought lunch so will just need a yogurt at the station (gah!).

Very excited (well... kind of....) - there's a bus promotion on at work, so instead of £1.50 for a single trip, or £15 for the 20 trip ticket i usually buy, it's £20 for 40 trips! :j :j just 50p a trip, and since i only go to the office 1 or 2 days a week, those 40 trips should last me at least 3 months! :j :j

shame they don't do a similar offer at the home end of thhe train journey - that bit's £1.50 a trip...

What a brilliant idea! From £1.50 a trip to 50p? Bargainous

Cheery_Daff

Bargainous indeed! :j :j and with the lighter nights i may start cycling again which means my 40 trips might last til the autumn! :j

Another nearly NSD here, just £1 for some yogurts but i really can't manage at work without them - we're all stocked up with reduced ones in the house now anyway :j

Other than that, just work travel

Old car getting picked up tomorrow FINALLY (although after last time i'll believe it when i see it :rotfl: )

will chase roofer tomorrow too...

Must update signature too - been to the gym once more, and had at least 1 NSD - going to have to get act together if i want another 9 this month! :eek:

Oh bleep, thats not good! I hate library fines, and I've paid more of them in the last six years or so, than I did all the rest of my adult life :eek:

Cheery - I know it doesn't assist you, but you've just reminded me to renew a book online - thanks

:rotfl: well I'm glad to have been of assistance Greying :rotfl: :rotfl: I only wish I could have the same effect on myself :rotfl:

Sadly my brain seems to associate 'getting a library fine' with 'being a bad person' so I shall feel ever so guilty for a while until the next time :rotfl:

Good news - the old car has gone! :j :j :j Darn pesky thing started first time - but then it has done ever since we decided to scrap it... Well, too late to change our minds now, it's on the back of a giant lorry heading to goodness knows where. I shall be watching the bank eagerly - paid £8 for a same day transfer so should have £135 coming our way for the savings fund :j :j :j

Remembered at the last minute to rescue tax disc, and I'd already printed the refund form last week so that's all in an envelope ready to go - should get £40 back :j :j

Also need to ring insurance company, but I couldn't face doing that this early in the morning :rotfl: Should get a few quid back from them too, although I imagine they'll take a giant admin fee for the inconvenience they've suffered, whatever that is.

Other MSE stuff today:

* ring roofer - where on earth IS he?? He only lives up the blithering road and I've been trying to get him here since the start of January! :eek: Pesky man - might ask him to recommend someone else if he can't do it himself :P
* take library book back and pay fine (maybe - might leave that til tomorrow)
* ring insurance
* post tax refund letters

Er, I think that's it. Slimming world tonight - usually go on a Monday but I haven't been home in time all week :eek:

Hope you're all well and jolly

Cheery_Daff

Oh gosh, and I really must sort out that fun spends figure in my signature, it's probably in minus figures by now :eek: :eek: :rotfl:

Morning! Doesn't it make life difficult for a bit when a workman who said he'd do stuff just doesn't show up? I had an upholsterer do that - in the end, I asked him if he actually wanted the work, and he said no! I explained the consequences for me, of him not telling me that in the first place (and I *was* reasonable, honest :rotfl:), and he got it, he was quite sweet, actually.

Hope SW goes well tonight
