    Warm and sunny all day here :j.

    You're doing well with PA, they've abandoned me now, I knew my golden streak couldn't last :cry:.

    Have a nice evening :).

    As I said to Cumbria, PA are fickle Hairy. I think they've moved over to me this week. You'll get them back next week!:D

    Another meh day. Can't wait until this weather changes for the better - so depressing. Decided to cheer myself up with fish and chips on the way home - £6.55! The price seems to jump 10p every time I buy it! Too expensive! Spoilt a NSD andI didn't even really enjoy it after all. :(

    Bright spot was whizzing £6.41 from Topcashback to my bank and this will go into the savings fund.

    Signing off tonight from a dank, drab Seasideville!

    Hooray for the weekend - finally!:j. I don't remember a working week dragging as much as this for ages - and I've been busy!

    Coffee with my friend lunchtime - she paid as it was her turn. I also bought some badly needed underwear in M&S with my loyalty vouchers. I had to top it up with £4.45, but did get 20% off with a voucher they sent me and the cash came out of the clothes budget. £39.87 left in there now.

    I also bought some chocolates in there (£6) for the girls in the shop who found my wallet. But I had another voucher for 10% off food so used this towards the purchase.

    I've finally cashed out with PA - so £23.37 to go into the savings pot when it arrives.:j

    Tonight I'm slumping in front of the TV. Tomorrow I'm pulling out the summer shoes that are living under the bed to sort out what I'm keeping and the winter footware are going to hibernate and take their place until the autumn!:)

    Have a good evening everyone!

    I think the week dragged too - maybe because it was the first full week after Easter. I love getting out the summer clothes/sandals and packing the winter ones away :)
