    Today I will:
    -Batch cook my vegetables in to curries, pies and soups
    -use some over date cream to make scones (saw this on OS board, hope it works!)
    -do my housework with Star-drops & vinegar
    -have yet another day without booze, which I'm getting used to ;)
    -and a NSD - I'll try but I do have to go to the bottle bank so I will have to go out

    Have fun everybody :D

    :( Oh my god I'm gutted just got an e-mail from uni to say that my library book is overdue from 5pm on Thursday - an initial fine of £2 and every hour is £1 on top of that... so I currently owe them over £40...I'm going to have to pay £6 to get to uni today just to return the bloody stupid thing which wasn't even useful in the first place. If I don't take it back til Monday then it will be nearly a hundred pound I cant believe how ridiculous their policy is!!!

    £1 an hour?! That's disgraseful!!! Can you phone them up and renew? That's what I did the other day and then it stops the fine. Explain you can't travel in because of erm something, make it up :) They might be able to take the payment over the phone.

    I've make a complaint, also why didn't they email you earlier?

    Seeing as today I spent £109 on the credit card treating myself I need to do lots of dfw things today to make up for it...

    * Just tried to call Experian to cancel my £5.99 a month membership, but they are closed.
    * List some more books, dvds & cd's on Amazon

    I'm off out for a meal tonight with the OH and both going to pay half each for a change. Normally he pays as he's such a nice bf and understands I'm a student at uni so bit poor - but knows once I graduate I will treat him for once!! Tonight I just felt like being nice so happy to pay for myself - so I must make sure I don't order wine & the most expensive thing on the menu tonight, thats real DFW style :-)
