    bank of slate - Am curious which co that's for! I am signed up to about 5 MS companies I think and never see anything of that nature! Would you PM me who it is? Just curious if it's any of the ones I do already and am missing/not in my area etc - not planning to try to poach any jobs off you haha :rotfl:

    Not having a very good DFW day yet. Really suffering with a cough today, making it hard to do anything much. :(

    - brought lunch into work from home
    - checked MS jobs, but nothing in my area
    - did store cupboard tea last night

    Evening all had a big spend day today and it certainly was not worth it.

    Today I
    checked online banking
    done piggy click and comps
    paid an extra £80 to Next from my paypal account
    resisted McDonalds on way home from day out

    Took DS1 and nephew to the Glasgow Science Centre and used a 'FREE CHILD' voucher, however I still spent £13 odds to get in and another £3 for the car park. It was a real disappointment so I don't think i'll be back soon.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Today I have:-
    • not taken the kids to pictures despite pestering (what a bad mum I am)
    • NSD
    • did not go to the local auction as planned
    • checked mystery shops (but none in my area)
    • fishcakes for tea from freezer
    • will put on bread maker before I turn in
    • answered ebay enquiry (10 watchers on that item:eek: )
    todays list leaves me a little deflated, as I know I could do more - so must investigate clicky sites.
