Indeedy and then people will have to work so much harder to save their money as it will be intangible. It's all so Blade Runner isn't it?

I have worked hard all day doing three days marking in two days. I am planning to have a nice day tomorrow with students on a trip bar filling in a few forms. Hurrah. Maybe two more weeks and most of my work is over. Hurrah. Hurrah.

I have done some watering in the garden but the lawn desperately needs doing I will try one night after work this week and I still have to plant my 4 new clematis plants. I am waiting for some more plants to arrive this week in total I have spent £30 on plants and that is it for the summer.

Ah I would love a garden.

We have a communal one but the rest of the neighbours are so messy, they all have dogs who they let poop everywhere and none of them pick it up :mad:

So annoying especially now the nice weather is coming in.

Thank you Skinty and Dolly it has taken 10 years for me to start decorating the garden how I want and I am going to enjoy it. The trip was great and I saw a town that I like v much and I only spent £10 on food and gifts! The kids loved it. Now I am going to have a sleep!

Lot's of bulbs and plants have arrived. I mowed the grass today and planted 3 clematis plants. I will decide where to plant all the new plants over the weekend. Work is busy but I made sure that I tidied before my parents come tomorrow. Im looking forward to a good weekend with them. Hurrah.

I have spent plenty of money this week as I ran out of bread so I have been buying lunch at work. What an utter rip off.

I am washing my clothes tonight and hoping to dry them tomorrow just in case it rains over the weekend. I am sure the weathermen have it wrong. It is too nice to rain!

Marking two lots


I am also planning to sleep a lot as vvv tired. Mum planted the anemonies and the last of the petunias and tidied up my garden as there were so many leaves left over from all the tulips and muscari's. I rested all day.

I am thinking of having a no spend time. I only want to buy my MAC foundation as I bought it on ebay and remembered how good it was but other than food I really don't need any clothes or shoes. Can one be a minimalist if one can still buy MAC foundation? I am going to give it a go. My house isn't cluttered but I really should start to take this money saving malarkey more seriously and this will help me I think.

I have just paid a one off £78 on my gas account so my dd will stay low. V proud of self. I might not be v well off for rest of the month though!

No more spending.

It will I am so happy waiting for things to come up. I haven't been on here much as my tummy bug came back. We think I am allergic to something in the salad - the illness always happens in the weekend or holidays when I do go overboard on healthy food. After two days of not eating I actually held down a banana today. I needed to lose some weight so I don't mind. :rotfl::rotfl:

I will gently introduce non spicy things to my diet and we shall see.

Payday in one week. I cannot wait. We have next week off and I will do my marking then. Now that I can eat again I feel so much better. Hurrah. I do hope the lovely weather lasts as I want to enjoy it. :j

I keep looking for clothes to wash but I don't have anything. Lodger is away for a few days so it is nice to have the house back. I can't believe how much better off I am since he moved in so far he has paid me £9000 in rent - (which has gone straight towards the mortgage) What a life line I wish I had done it years ago.
