I have veered away from spending so far I went to pick up laundry basket I bought yesterday, I keep being tempted to eat cadburys creme eggs, but I didn't buy I just collected the basket and left. Very soon I am going to take MD to hospital and we will be early although because I am taking her I suspect she will buy drinks!

Mission Number One: Get a job!
Mission Number Two: Get a lodger!
Mission Number Three: Clear debt, starting balance: £1997.17, balance now: £1939.22
Once accomplished all three come back and start new missions!

Looks like it won't be one today. The washing machine has officially gone to electronic heaven and so I will need to buy a new one.
