    It's been a wet and dreary day today. Work was a real struggle as my mind kept wandering.

    £3 OP from a survey payment.
    Still a week until pay day. For a short month, it feels much longer!

    Chin up, you can update a spreadsheet in 7 sleeps :D


    If I was running the country I would alter the calendar. Remove a week each from Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb, adding them on to May, June, July and Aug.
    It would brighten up everyone's lives having a much shorter winter, and more time to enjoy the summer........... :cool:

    Of course you could have a trial run, just to make sure all formulae correct ;).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    :T for the weekend finally getting here!

    Work today was slooooooow. I'm very pleased to be be home:j

    I won a £1 voucher today in a survey draw so opted for my usual fave - Am@zon - and I'm sure it will get used for a kindle purchase soon ;)

    Didn't quite manage a no spend day today as needed to grab rolls and then also picked up some bacon as a treat. Bit impulsive...but sometimes you just need to do that for sanity :D

    Have a great weekend to anyone who is reading or passing through :)

    Good morning!

    Lottery winner here :D a massive £5.90 :rotfl: I have dutifully OP'd it before I could fritter it away :p

    I got rudley awoken by the postman today with a parcel that turned out to be a bag of crisps to product test. I have given up eating crisps, chocolate and cake since new year but may have to make an exception for that

    I have a few errands and house jobs to do today and then have a birthday party to attend later on.

    Have a good day :)

    :cool: feeling a bit secondhand today...although it's totally my own fault :p Had a good time at the party - talked, laughed and danced until well into the early hours

    I spent more than I wanted to :eek: but since I don't do it often I will find a way to accommodate it in the budget ;)
