    Hi 

    Hope everyone is ok. 

    Today I have/will:
    • Check banks 
    • Make lunch to take to work 
    • Drive on eco mode
    • Snap receipts that I found in my pocket
    • Update spreadsheet 
    • Decide what to do with some "additional" money (money I earned from leafleting, a partial refund for a hen do I can no longer go on and council tax refund)
    • Shuffle money to correct accounts 
    • Start online shop to use a voucher which I think makes it worthwhile 
    • Charge phone fully before leaving work 
    • Dinner from stores
    • Park for free at netball 
    That's everything I can think of for now. I hope you all have a good day.

    Just asking if anyone can use some Lakeland vouchers that I've received in post. I can't see that they are linked to my membership card, but I don't need them. There are 6 vouchers, 20 per cent off a £50 spend, 5 per cent off a £30 spend, & 4 more off specific items(bread maker, midge repeller, travel iron & Prue's world range of cookware. Anyone interested, send me  a PM & I'll pop them in post to you. If I don't reply, someone else got in first! KA
