    Popped out with Mum for a bit, got a new washing up bowl, shower gel and a belgian bun. Mum added it all to the stuff she was getting so didn't cost me anything, and she is also cooking me roast lamb for dinner tonight :T

    Third lot of washing has just gone out, next lot about to go in the machine, ds bed has been stripped and remade too. Downstairs bathroom cleaned, dusted through, just need to hoover everywhere and unload the dishwasher.

    I would but I'm already in mine :D:D

    I watched Strictly then remembered my clean bed ;)

    I did think Strictly was fab tonight but let's hope Shania Twain toddles back to wherever she's been since the 90's because that bit was cringeworthly awful :o:o

    Been food shopping this morning, spent £72 in Sainsburys but had various vouchers so it came down to £63 (I can claim £2.40 back from Shopmium), so £60 from shopping budget. I then popped into Asda and spent £17 but this included £5 of my nephews birthday present which will come from my gift fund, and £1.60 that will come back from shopmium, so £10 from my spends budget. Finally I bought petrol £40.

    So, off to update signature and move money around as necessary. I also have a £15 Amazon giftcard that will be for my nephews birthday too, again, the £15 will be transferred from the gift fund into my brothers account :)

    £10 Amazon voucher claimed from a survey site, this doesn't get added to my signature, once I spend it (assuming its on a gift), I will transfer the equivalent money from the gift fund into the savings pot.

    Roast lamb almost ready, nephews birthday present delivered, ironing done, after dinner it will be a nice hot bath and a relaxing evening ;)

    One of those days at work today ... glad it's done ;)

    Chicken goujons in wraps tonight for dinner, then bathtime. I want to write a to do list for tomorrow at work so at least I have a plan for the day.

    I posted the ebay parcel and I was right about the £12 profit, so happy with that :T
