    Today I have:
    • done my piggy clicks
    • done my daily clicks
    • checked on-line banking and updated spreadsheet
    • got books from library
    • bought sandwiches in for lunch (homemade) to avoid going out at lunch (but I will have to venture out one lunch time as I need one of those vac bags to pack up my now clean wedding dress!)
    • booked Monday off work to have a bit of a sort out at home and hopefully find more stuff to list on ebay/amazon
    I did manage to line dry my washing yesterday (first time this year) so it's nice not to have damp washing all over the house for a change.

    Enjoy your day

    Forgot one - I hope to finish some of my hand made cards later so I can add them to the box of cards for sale at work.

    Must print some bits off while I'm at work (save my own ink at home!!)

    Afternoon all, lots of posters today. Well just got in from my job interview, or should i say a 30minute grilling! Seems to have gone ok and although its not my dream job it will instead fit in with my dream plans! Just have to wait and see if i get it.

    Sounds like lots of people have had a productive day. Its payday for me, so finally have some money.

    -Have looked for mystery shops
    -Boyf gave me a lift to the interview so no need for expensive taxi and got the bus back using my weekly pass so saved on bus fare.
    -Bought my weekly bus ticket, saving me at least £12.
    -WILL do my O.U assignment
    -Pay credit card bills
    -Sort out spreadsheets
    -Do some surveys
    -Check online banking
    -Have a storecupboard meal
    -Do some massage coursework

    Have a good evening everyone.

    p.s. Also, just opened a new Barclays Tax haven Isa for the new tax year, nice and simple on line.

    I'VE DONE IT!!!!!! well, ok, half of it, I have half a sparkly clean and swept garage and a living room full of boxes to sort :o On the plus side I already have 5 black bags full of treasures to list on ebay and I havent even been looking for stuff :rolleyes: . Also found a new flat packed chest of drawers, forgot about that!

    Tonight I go through umpteen boxes of clothes, most will go to the sally army bin in town, whats good will go on ebay and there is a trip to the "dump" planned for tomorrow afternoon with other odds and ends. Need to rejoin the dreaded freecycle to list a couple of items, wont be on there long! I cant believe how much I have found in there, need to change my name to Aladin :beer:

    Permission to eat dinner and collapse....no? Darn...

    Hello everyone.

    Cant believe that it is 7:40, and its still light outside!

    Anyhow, not too much to report from me:
    • Had breakfast before work
    • Made lunch to take to work
    • Forgot to give mum her bus pass back, had to give her £5 :mad:
    • Other than that, didn't spend anything else
    Chased up the agency who sent me on an interview 2 weeks ago :eek:, still no news, they are going to make a decision next week :mad:. The agency told them, don't be suprised if she (me) has found another job by then. Really annoying though, the person that 'the candidate' would be replacing, is leaving soon.

    Oh well, off to see another agency before work tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

    I feel really down today ~ cant even put it down to winter blues, when the sun is shining :rolleyes:
