    Today I will have:
    - checked online banking for myself and dh- all fine
    - paid my £10 in 20ps into the Christmas savings fund! V. exciting!
    - Gone to the library
    - not bought anything unnecessary- ice lollys are nec purchase...
    - taken broken packet of mascapone back to Tescos and swapped for unbroken packet. (Got a short date tho grrrr!)
    That's about it I think...Oh I've updated my diary on here and put some money on the electricity. £20 instead of £30 so will see how long that'll last...

    Checked internet banking, Pigsback and Quidco

    Posted off 2 more Ebay sales

    Bought 2 for 1 vouchers for National Trust from Ebay - they were in Daily Telegraph this weekend but parents only told me today they want to go to Beatrix Potter's cottage today (we're off to the Lakes this weekend) - only £2.50 for 2 though including postage and will still save lots of money!

    Added more to Tesco shop - parents are paying for Lakes cottage if me and OH pay for food/drinks and petrol

    Packed lunch at work, and packed snacks as well.


    Tonight will look through CDs and DVDs for Ebay as those seem to earn most money!

    Evening all, hope everyone has had a great day so far.

    Candy hope you feel less stressed soon and feel back on top of things.

    Claireabelle, with your story regarding the spending diary it makes me think maybe i should start one!!

    Cleosmum, well done on all the walking, sounds like you'll be super fit in no time.

    Welcome confused newbie, hope you have less of a harassed day tomorrow.

    :hello:
    Candy: Hope you manage some 'me' time in your days off and your stress starts to subside

    Thanks,

    Today I have a revised list:
    • I popped into town to put some money into my nan's account
    • Posted a chq off to Computershare to get dividend chqs for the past 8 years
    • Treated myself to a hot chocolate in town
    • Bought some ingredients to make flapjacks (including nuts and sesame seeds - trying to be healthy), will make them after dinner
    • Bought some stakes for the leaders of my strawberry plants
    Think that is about it, take care

    Today I changed the timer on the water heater so it heats up at night when it's cheaper.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Well, i ended up falling asleep so my productive evening hasn't really got off very well. Am still really tired after my course, not exactly looking forward to working all day tomorrow, however i have been told i can either do it as overtime or take time off in leu which is quite tempting. Am now busy writing up my mammoth mystery shopping reports, however don't seem to be able to find many more as all has gone quiet on that front.
