    I thought I lost my memory stick with it on once for two days before I found it in a pocket :o ... I still have nightmares. Do you open it even if you know you have nothing to update? :o just to have a look at how well you're doing!!

    Evening all,

    My dfw things for today:
    • Lent sister my bus pass since I was working from home today
    • posted ebay item in the morning
    • took money from current account and put it into Nationwide account so I don't get charged when withdrawing money in the states
    • collect free jar of baby food from Boots with voucher
    • found 23p
    • used £2.xx coupon off my magazines in Tesco
    • got 6 points added for re-using carrier bags
    • remembered to use 30 extra points till spit the 2nd time round :o
    • got a till spit which i will use when back from holidays
    • found a 2 point receipt which i got added at customer services
    • entered a couple of competitons for extra points/free napies when i handed over vouchers to be scanned
    • phoned to update tax credits using the dedicated phone in the job centre
    • paid the exact amount due on council tax rather than my usual over paying by a few pounds
    • DH has arranged to drive and leave my car at airport parking rather than get expensive taxi and rely on BIL to collect us (thus saving money and relying on others)
    • DH has used up some vegetables in the fridge before we go on holiday
    • filled in a prescription request for DH when I was at the doctors surgery rather than phoning the 0845 number and being held in a queue
    • packaged and posted off another 2 Ebay items in the afternoon when I got notification of cleared payment
    • got a cheque in the mail for 1 of my Ebay items sold
    Phew - I think that's everything.

    No wonder the doctor asked if I had been rushing about when she said my blood pressure was a little higher than normal. I said I always do. ;)

    I got a £10 late payment charge knocked off my virgin bill, other than that it's been a horrendously high spend day (most of it planned though).
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
  • LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one that looks at their spreadsheet even when there is nothing to add! Sometimes I feel like I need to add another chart becuase I know the ones I have too well! At least I'm not the only one!

    Today I have
    - cycled to work to save the £5 travel card
    - done surveys
    - redeemed £5 amazon voucher from lightspeed surveys
    - dinner from the freezer

    And now I am going to catch up on the sleep that I missed out on when I got called out last night (I'm a Physio in a hospital).

    Hope everyone had a great day!
