At the end of the day you're on track, assuming you're going 'all the way', for a first :T. I don't think they do 'first with knobs on' - if someone else had got your scores what would you tell them?

:rotfl:at a 'first with knobs on'

Thanks for the reality check GG and you are of course right that I would tell someone else that it was still a very good result


I have done something I rarely do today - I went to the local shopping centre :eek: I normally avoid them like the plague, especially on a weekend.

However it wasn't too bad and I bought myself 3 new tops (including one for a forthcoming party) and a pair of boots. I spent £94.50 but it only cost me £14.50 in actual money as I had Xmas and birthday vouchers to use.

I'm here... the days seem to creep past me at the moment...

Little bit spendy this week. I bought myself a new dressing gown (decided I needed it given the cold weather) but used vouchers so not feeling too guilty

In money news:

£11 OP
£78 council tax equivalent OP'd
£5 survey voucher received
Still no spending on the cc

Good morning

I love weekends - soooo nice not to be at work and be able to get up without an alarm!

Quiet weekend expected - just some house jobs and a bit more OU course

Enjoy!

Evening

Non descript day at work although still glad to be home

Managed to resist the urge to buy a shop coffee today whilst taking a walk at lunchtime. Small thing but pleased with myself for not spending

£6 OP made up from survey payments

Well done for not spending, I spent 79p on chocolate chip cookies, team atmosphere feels strained and female colleagues relax when given chocolate

BookWorm

:T what a lovely colleague you are Mr E

I'm currently not eating cakes/biscuits/crisps/choc, etc but I would still have appreciated the gesture

At 79p they either weren't very stressed or you don't have many female colleagues :rotfl:.

Haha - only two and I hit them with generosity after lunch :rotfl:

They were good cookies from Sainsbury's instore bakery, albeit on offer at less than 1/2 price!

Perks of living 'up North!'

Well done on resisting spends BW, I said no to dessert when out for lunch, will focus on the £6 I saved!

BookWorm

Thanks Cath and well done to you on resisting dessert. All those small things do add up!

On the note of money... why is it still 2 weeks til payday...?! I'm impatient for the next shuffle.... :dance:
