    Well done on the £50 win, and your ring is lovely!

    Boo to working 7 days though. At least debt 2 will be going down even if it's not the one you wanted to start with.

    Ring ordered, although I wasn't able to get express delivery as they don't do that for rings :(. I'll have to wait 1-3 working days for it. I was a very good MSE girl though and ordered it through TCB and have a credit of £17 odd to show for it and got a discount of £67.50 off the ring.

    I was supposed to be working today, but apparently an employee isn't allowed to work any more than 6 days in a row - who knew? :whistle: - so the extra hours got cancelled.

    Morning

    £200 paid off debt #2, so I'm edging closer to getting below £9k. £25 paid off debt #12 recently too.

    We went to see Into The Woods last night. I'm not usually into musicals, but I've got a thing for Chris Pine, so I dragged OH along to see it. It wasn't too bad and Chris has a very nice voice.

    My ring has still not been despatched. Very annoyed with Goldsmiths. I thought if I ordered it early enough on Friday (9.30am), then it would get despatched the same day. It said the ring was in stock, so I don't know what the hold up is. If it hasn't been despatched by tomorrow morning, then I will want to know why!!

    I've had to upgrade my iPhone too. My old one had 50% battery last night when I finished work and I went to call OH to pick me up, but the battery died just as I was calling him. It keeps on doing this and I need a reliable phone, especially when I'm finishing work late at night. My new one will be delivered tomorrow.

    Working 2-8 today.

    Ring finally received yesterday, 3 minutes before I had to leave for work, even though it was supposed to be here before 1pm :mad:. Had to do a lot of ringing around to ensure I got it yesterday. Never shopping with Goldsmiths again.

    It does look lovely though and sparkled beautifully under the lights at work last night :D

    I've got my new iPhone too, so will sell the other one on eBay.

    OH and I are going out for a meal tonight on an MS job. It'll be nice to have a night off work. At the weekend, I'm going to see Big Hero 6 for free with my niece and sister.
