    Nothing too exciting today but its the small things that count :)

    I have brought my lunch to work today
    I will be doing a left overs tea tonight from meals made this week.
    If the weather stays nice then will go and feed the ducks rather than go out properly :p

    Tonight I will be having a look at my finances again and see what I cut back on - not exciting but I havent got long to go now before am debt free so want to get there as quick as i can :o

    Hi all :D

    Today I will be:

    *completing passport app for DS and taking it to the PO (will save me money as otherwise I'll have to pay more for a faster service lol!)
    *clicks and surveys - done already :)
    *flylady - need to get this house clutter free, will try to save things for Ebay and get rid of other stuff to the charity shop.
    *Try to fix my printer so I can print photos rather than having them printed.
    *Look up OS mix for dishwasher so I can use it without buying more dishwasher tabs. The amount of hot water I'm using is beginning to outweigh the efficiency of not using the dw if you get wht I mean?

    oops- being a little waffley today - sorry! :)

    bought two wonderful items of clothing from a charity shop for a wedding i am attending in september. a jacques vert jacket and skirt in an antique violet colour and a two piece top and long skirt in black with salmon pink and and old gold colour pattern on it. both for the remarkable price of £10! i feel guilty, i really don't think they realised what they had:confused:

    Feeling rotten today so called in sick, so although I'm down one shift, better 1 shift now than a whole week if I force myself to go in.

    I have my washing hanging all over the house, cos its raining outside & I didn't want to use tumbledrier. Radiators aren't on either so they may take a while!

    NSD no. 5 for me too!

    said 'no' to kids again. I could give them money if i wanted to but they don't need it - there's goodies in the house they could eat - why insist on constantly running the corner shop??

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