    Afternoon all, having a slightly rubbish day as i have just gone and failed my driving test.:( However i have a choice between moping round feeling sorry for myself and hope the examiner will drop down dead! Or, i can pick myself up brush myself down and get on with the day the way i like to, by being productive, whilst still sending the examiner bad thoughts!:D

    Hope everyone else is having a better day, the sun is shining here so its rather pleasant.

    -Have done a mystery shop at Pizza hut, so the family can have that for tea
    -Sent off amazon book
    -Posted last application form for diploma course
    -Have looked for mystery shops and picked another one up - TWO NOW!
    -Received my assignment back, the one that i couldn't be bothered with, infact i got the best mark i have done out of all the assignments, so rather chuffed.
    -Arranged to meet up with a friend tonight

    -Will check online banking
    -Will do another matched bet
    -Will work through emails
    -Will do any surveys
    -Will book in next driving test
    -Waiting on a delivery from vistaprint with stuff for my new business, i missed them coming yesterday
    -Will do my daily clicks
    -Have received counselling books from amazon, bought with gift vouchers
    -May get boyf to give me a free driving lesson tonight, when going out to meet friend
    -Signed up for a trial with cosmetic research online
    -Will check out train options for my TA course
    -Keep heating and water off for as long as possible

    -Hoover floor that i didn't get to do yesterday
    -Look on website for business advice
    -Will check out what else i didn't complete yesterday and get them done

    It certainly did! And I had enough left from the pot I'd put aside to pay it to pay off a smaller debt too - it pays to barter with DCAs!

    I've been playing free bingo today, not won anything yet...keep going though!

    Charging phone at work, lunch was leftovers...it all helps :)

    Andan - sorry about your driving test. You seem such a bright and bubbly person that i'm sure you won't let it get you down. try for a cancellation - I managed to get one for my son extremely quickly. Good luck!!

    Thanks tess, unfortunately i just had a mean examiner, who when i tried to speak to him he kept ignoring me, which did nothing for my nerves. When i thought about it after, i realised he had made me feel really tiny. I was down about it for about two hours and then figured what the hey, lets get on with the day! In fact its going rather productively today and have managed to get lots done.

    Hello All, Me Again.

    Andan, sorry you didn't pass your test!

    Managed not to spend anything today - even ignored the ritual of the 'payday latte' from the coffee shop next door! :beer:

    Looking forward to tomorrow's challenges ~ will post my aims/tasks tomorrow

    Take care
