    grr had to re write my post.
    Been missing for a bit. have a frog of applying for pension 1. I also am aiming to collect pension no 2 in the summer.
    didn't think I had achieved much today but I have when its written down.
    1. heating for free as free wood being used
    2. No spend day for me
    3. Batch cooking soup and curry dishes ready for freezer
    4. paid extra £10 off mortgage
    aiming to try harder this month. Plenty of stuff to shift to recirculate money into renovation/redecoration

    Excellent list, especially these two!! Nom, food sounds lush.

    My five for today:
    1. In London but have breakfast / coffee with me, lunch will be provided by work so just need evening meal for train (I get home at 2200).
    2. Will charge phone / laptop etc. on the train and at work.
    3. Check my bank account that had refund for wine I took back, was 'corked' and I don't normally bother but that's £5.99! checked, it's been paid :-)
    4. Check to see if Shopmium have paid back the money I'm due.
    5. Draft letter to bank for change of name (only 5 years needed to do this!), so then I can use that current account to switch and get some money back

    Have a productive day all :T
