    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Today I:

    Bought lunch in - made a lasagne last night (and the only thing I needed to buy to make it was the mince :money: ), the two of us had it for dinner and then 3 portions for me for lunch - that's Monday - Wednesday sorted.

    Posted another ebay sale only a couple of pounds profit but every little helps.

    After work I'm going to take 2 rolls of masking tape back to B+Q as turns out we had some at home already when we came to do our decorating. We need a plant drip tray and some pollyfilla and hoping the 2 amounts will balance themselves out. (Have got a lot better at taking things back this year!)

    Dinner before our rehearsal will be in macdonalds - cheapest place until food starts properly on campus again (work at a uni but it's vacation)

    Then after rehearsal I hope to sort out 5 items for ebay this week ready to get them photographed/described on Tuesday night.

    Checked online banking - all ok and will do clicks etc too.

    Busy day - especially as I'm supposed to be working too - these jobs get in the way :rolleyes:
