    Feeling a touch hungover after a pint of Pimms yesterday (well mostly lemonade - but didn't realise how much proof Pimms is!) :o. Briefly before I get started on the day.... stuff to do:
    • Meeting at work
    • 4.5 hours on funding application (to make up for yesterday!)
    • Update budget
    • Plant out tomatoes given by neighbour
    • Pay in cheques
    • Check online banking
    • Redo snowballs
    • Do expenses claim
    That'll do for now. On to breakfast - ugh! :o

    You do know that Pimms has actually gone DOWN in proof! about 10 years ago they dropped it from 30% to 25% and at the same time put the price up as well! :eek:

    Mmmn - you're not wrong Taxi! And I haven't yet started on the funding thing.... :rolleyes: That is the next thing (having a late lunch). But otherwise not doing badly:
    • [STRIKE]Meeting at work[/STRIKE] DONE and it finished early so I was able to fit in two others as well and make progress on a lot of fronts. :T
    • 4.5 hours on funding application (to make up for yesterday!) NEXT - ask me later - no really - do!
    • Update budget
    • Plant out tomatoes given by neighbour
    • [STRIKE]Pay in cheques[/STRIKE] DONE - another £175 heading to the bank account
    • [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE] DONE - and holding our own.
    • Redo snowballs
    • [STRIKE]Do expenses claim[/STRIKE] DONE and more have put in early requests for work to pay directly for the next trips so that I hardly have to pay anything up front. No payments, no claims to do, no money missing from my account for weeks, no chance of forgetting to claim - yeah!
