    I keep doing ooh I am x in credit on mine from the refund, but actually I used it for petrol and food shopping. Didn't you say you needed fuel before pay day so out the £30 in? You need fuel to get to work, you don't need books for Christmas right now.

    Although I like people who prioritise buying books very, very much.

    I am RIDICULOUSLY excited to watch Mr Oliver's new programme tonight at 8, going to make sure I am all ready and sat, work down with my cuppa! In between working and looking at my messy house, I've been reading the odd bit of my Hygge book. It's really good, makes me happy, it's a book about why the Danish are the happiest people in the world. I can't remember who's diary I read it on either JoJoC or ToPs diary a while ago, but thanks for the tip, I'm loving it! Have asked for another book about it for my birthday :)

    Aww thanks everyone, am going to try and overpay when I can. Have just finished doing work! I don't seem to have stopped all day! What a waste of a day! Got a busy day tomorrow out and about, desperately need to clean my house, it is a tip! Best go to sleeps soon I guess!
