  • Today I:

    Decided what I needed to take to the party tonight (everyone is bringing something) and worked out how much it would cost on the Tesco.com website before leaving the house - only took the right money with me, no cards in sight £2.89 and all is ready to go!

    Called water company to move over to water meter - arranged with call centre for someone to call me and arrange a house visit to check reading and ensure water meter is in good working order.

    Made my new year resolutions.

    Reduce,re-use, recycle.






  • Today I:
    * scrubbed the flat from top to bottom using stuff I already had in stock!
    * recycled a year's worth of glass at the tip (my dad now thinks i am a raving alcoholic!)
    * decided that I won't be going out tonight thus saving myself from spending stupid amounts of money on taxis, drinks, club etc etc
    * wrote a shopping list and will get on tesco.com later

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Today I did my click throughs, a few surveys (its very slow this time of the year), stayed at home for New Years and had a NSD apart from petrol where I spent under budget. Used the bosses phone to check my balance.
    I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.
    I am a money magnet. Money comes easily and frequently.
