    Evening all.

    I have:

    * Taken HM lunch to work
    * Went out for a walk at lunchtime and left purse at work so I couldn't be tempted anywhere.
    * Refilled water bottle from cooler at work.
    * Did Piggy Clicks/comps & QuidCo searches
    * Used the shallow bowl of water that had dripped from kitchen tap on the garden.......just to save it going through the water meter! This will become a regular habit now till we can afford to get someone in to fix the tap! (Or if we use a bottle we can use it to fill the kettle!)
    * Have put a cardi on and refuse to put heating on even though it feels like November in my house.
    * Got a lift home from work.
    * Will make a meal plan tonight before we go shopping.
    * Bought a text bundle when I topped up my PAYG mobile.
    * Checked online banking & updated spreadsheet.

    *Additional DFW thing! Bought some yummy breads - all reduced in Sainsburys - and they are now in the freezer to help with DFW/HM soups later in the month/next month. :)
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
    Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
    Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    I spent some of yesterday sewing up holes in a pair of trousers I bought in a second hand shop! And making BF's trousers better too!
