    Hi hypno, hi all. Today I have:
    - done the finance practice, projected profit of £290.
    - have done some surveys, and cleaned out the emails in my inbox of surveys that were closed (sigh....... I never do them quickly enough).
    - have spent about 30 mins on the phone with V Games *again* trying to get the ss thing working. And it did!!!!!
    - have pm'd ss in a state of high excitement!!!
    - have emailed the freecycle fridge guy - he may be able to bring the fridge round tonight, if it fits in his mate's car, a new fridge for £20, hurray (potentially).

    I still have to:
    - have a celebratory cuppa tea.
    - get washed and dressed (I have a client at 3.30, thats definitely mse before then!!!).
    - go to the post office to put a £3.50 cheque into my cahoot account, for selling an old SF magazine.
    - STOP PLAYING FREECELL - sorry for shouting, but really..........
    - oops, transfer money according to yesterday's list.
    - thinks.......... will I close my hsbc credit card, now it finally has a £0 credit balance? I bet I don't..............

    Thats all she wrote, folks. Have a good day all.

    Today I:

    Have had a store cupboard lunch, pasta, tuna and beans that I made last night (and more tomorrow too!)
    Posted 2 ebay sales and an amazon sale (and money will go back in current account once I've got the money from amazon/paypal).
    Wanted chocolate at lunchtime whilst at post office but only got a fudge bar so saved about 25p

    Tonight we're going to make curry from stratch and make extra sauce to freeze.

    Then need to go through budget with OH after last night I need him to see just how much money we have and how much we need to spend and what we should have left for things we *need*.

    I have to post on every thread I've been wittering about this on: fridge guy has just been! £20 for a Hotpoint Iced Diamond from freecycle, with a door to the little freezer compartment and a defrost button (unlike my own dear departed fridge). Fridge guy turned out to be less than half my age, and *really* good looking - and he saw inside my manky kitchen, how sad. In so many ways. But I have a working fridge again!!!!!
