    Morning all!

    Not loads for me today:

    [STRIKE]1. Breakfast from home[/STRIKE] Weetabix with flaked almonds, yum!
    [STRIKE]2. Check surveys[/STRIKE] Only one so far, from Ipsos. Slow day. Also, got my ShopAndScan account details through, as soon as I get my Clicker I will do my first shop and get £10 Amazon voucher straight away!
    [STRIKE]3. Do surveys!!![/STRIKE] One from Ipsos done - survey was 75 points, only a few questions in before got kicked out, but they gave 50 points for getting that far!!! Fantastic!
    [STRIKE]4. Lunch from home - batch cooked at weekend[/STRIKE] Same as I'll be having all week - Gigantes Planki (linked to it in the weekend thread) - did it with cous cous and leaves and a cut up tomato, worked really nicely - which is good as another 5 portions to get through!
    [STRIKE]5. NSD[/STRIKE] Acheived! Woo hoo!!!
    [STRIKE]6. Dinner from batch cooking at weekend[/STRIKE] well, basically eaten anyway...being nuked as I type!
    [STRIKE]7. OU online tutorial tonight[/STRIKE] done and we finished early by half an hour hence I had time to pop on here!
    8. Eagerly await whatever offer Mr T comes back with re my complaint about the distressing chicken foetus egg Nothing yet - sent the email on Saturday afternoon, grrr..sstill nothing:mad:

    Can't think of much else really but that covers the whole day anyway!

    Have a fantastic money saving day everyone!

    LC x

    Well, done as much as I can - not much I can do about waiting for an email!!! I have also received my latest assignment back from the OU and am annoyed as I dropped two marks so only got 98% on this one. Still ok, but I should be acing it I feel , plus it was a silly mistake!!!

    Have a restful evening all, back to it tomorrow...I'm off to watch an hour of tv before bed, yay! (Hope there's something on!)

    I'm sure Jo won't mind me answering seeing she hasn't had chance.

    She's moving the WM into a purpose built shelter outside and I'm giving her my DW to go where the WM used to sit. The only time she'll need to put the water heater on is for baths, which is rare in her house as they shower every day.

    I don't think she's taken into account that the DW will use leccy to heat the water, but she'll do it overnight on Economy 7 anyway!

    :eek:I'm worried now...dunno if this is the same as mine -I've always assumed the WM ran off the cold water...Does it come from the HW tank???!!!

    :j:jOrangeFairy - Congratulations!!! Glad to hear it all went well :T:T
