Lunchtime

So far today I have:

- Cancelled a credit card with a £9000 limit. God knows why I ever had one in the first place. (15 minutes on hold, for a 30 second conversation. Well done, MBNA.)
- Got my word count up to 8756.
- Done the shopping.
- Put the laundry on.
- Drunk 2 cups of coffee.
- Hoovered.



(See? clean floor. And sunshine. It's lovely and sunny here. The credit card cancelling man tells me it's not very sunny in the UK today. That's a shame.)

A new, fiscally responsible me...

Most of you will be surprised - nay, even disbelieving - at today's title. But I am feeling very virtuous - rather than spend money in my usual profligate way, I have today cleared two of my credit cards. And I even have money left over to buy a travelcard (you can get a year's travelcard, with unlimited travel on buses, trams and who knows what else, for 150 euros! That impressed me, anyway...) and actual food and things. And meet the minimum payments on my remaining card. Go me!

Today's pictures of sunshine will follow when I get them off the camera and onto the computer. I'm sure you're all waiting with bated breath...

(Oh, and we still don't have a flat. Tomorrow, we're told, again. I'm going to throw a screaming tantrum if it isn't really tomorrow.)
