    Hi today I had a NSD by bringing in my packed lunch and not going into the shops. I also sold something on Amazon so I need post that tomorrow.
    I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.

  • Hi everyone,

    enjoyed catching up on everyone's day, thanks I feel more positive now from all your ideas.

    Jamtart6, really sorry to hear about your ipod, hope it randomly starts working again tomorrow or something...

    Today I have:
    Taken my lunch in to work
    Eaten it!! And not for breakfast!
    Not bought anything extra - lunch log challenge is helping me with that.
    Done my clicks for today
    Checked internet banking, all as expected.

    Sometimes when your accounts are doing what you expect it seems dull so trying to remind myself dull's a good thing!

    Have a good day tomorrow everyone.

    Hi,

    I didn't go out at lunchtime as bus made me late for work and I had too much work to do. However I had very little petrol left so topped up £5 until I get my petrol from Tesco.

    Still to do my piggy click.

    Invoiced buyer for 1 item I sold on Ebay.

    Will invoice the other buyer tomorrow as I'm too tired and still got the remains of a cold.

    That's all I can think of
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
    Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)
    Rpoints:redeemed 28925 points)Cashbag:£8.91(£20)
