Need to start a diary or a thread for my ambitious aims!

Hope everyone has a lovely day :cool:

Have you made a diary yet? I went looking last night but couldnt find you on the first 3 pages, I know it moves very rapidly but assumed I'd missed you?

Called into A@da and dithered for ages about whether to get a normal cheap lightbulb or an energy saving long lasting one!! Bought the energy saving one in the end.

Is now a good time to do my 'how many MSEers does it take to change a light bulb?' joke? No?? Oh well:eek::T:rotfl:

Well hello to everyone here in DFW land. What a day. Im sure everyones bored stiff of the election chat, suffice to say I was shocked to wake up to that news, and its all anyones talked about in the cafe today.
After a rubbish 2 day stint Monday/Tuesday the trade really came back, & the finals for the week have put me in a much better position to deal with the BIG week of payments next week. Not out of the woods yet, but I am grateful for the turn around.
Something major happened today as well. I am still feeling a bit shocked. I logged on to do my business banking, & it looks as though for some reason my accountant has managed to get me a large VAT rebate. I dont know why. I called one of them, but he didnt know, & the other had left for the weekend. I cant find out till monday. I know this should make me happy but right now I feel a bit sick with worry in case they give it me, then demand it back, if you know what I mean. I am always wary of all things HMRC. So I will be interested to hear what the logic behind it is. I suspect & may be wrong, but, that it is all the electric I paid for whilst the place was closed, that the insurance covered eventually, but there is VAT on it you see. Anyway, definately not mentally cashing that one out until I know for sure its legit.

Small things.
1) £3 tips
2) Cycled everywhere
3) 5th personal NSD of the month, aiming for 20
4) Tommorows activities are all paid for in advance, with the exception for a small gift for a childs birthday party

I cant think of any others right now. Congrats again to Ally.

Hi all

Still recovering from being ill. Called into A@da and dithered for ages about whether to get a normal cheap lightbulb or an energy saving long lasting one!! Bought the energy saving one in the end.

Haha! This was me the other day but I bolted under the pressure and didn't buy either! Still not got one yet haha! Want to look around as they seamed so expensive since I last brought a lightbulb :rotfl: :money:

'Following' the great Cheap vs Energy-Saving DFW-MSE lightbulb-buying debate...!!!
I always seem to buy cheap and then they 'blow' and I regret buying it. Then I go to the shops, look at the ridiculous prices and opt for the cheap one again... vicious lightbulb circle!

Evening DFW-Ninjas,

Erm, don't really know what to post today. Still a bit stunned. Think I'll see if there's anything useful to pass on...


New Era Day One:

:grinheart Worked a 40 hour week this week. Usually I do an hour or two less than that.

:grinheart Limited Friday purchase in the canteen. One bottle of Lucozade. Did not buy crisps, though I was tempted.

:grinheart Celebratory £1 Iceland pizza late last night.

:grinheart Check how many Tesco Clubcard vouchers are soon coming our way. Nearly a fiver. Not bad considering we hardly shop there! (Link)

Freebies:

:grinheart Free Greggs sausage roll and/or Coke Zero. (Link)

Competition:

:grinheart Win Minions sweeties and goodies? (Link)

News:

:grinheart If you have an RBS YourPoints credit card I recommend you read this article and spend your points before the scheme is axed. (Link)

:grinheart Info on the new Amazon delivery charges. (Link)


That's all for now. Good luck on your quests, Ninjas.

Bobarella

Ooo that's it I'm off to check my points too. Will I have enough for another day out pass????

Bobarella

Apparently the period doesn't end until the 9th?
