After the stress and organisation of the weekend just gone for my mum's 50th, I have to say I'm absolutely knackered! I feel like I need to take a week to recover and am still suffering from sleep deprivation. I must be getting on a bit. For some reason this week, all I want to do is hide away in my pj's, eat some naughty food and snuggle in bed with the croc and a pile of DVD's. Unfortunately, I have to work which is not good. Soph, my flat mate, is extremely ill with a 48 hour bug so will probably do me good to get out the flat away from her. Saying that though, I do have a banging headache and a sore throat this morning which does not sound good.
This week, me and Dan are going to Oxford for the weekend, yay! And he's off work all weekend, double yay! We're having a romantic stay at The Doghouse in Frilford, Oxford on Sunday night to celebrate Valentines Day and our anniversary which I'm looking forward to.
What I'm not looking forward to is spending money. I am flat broke. The festivities from the weekend have left me extremely short so I think the trusty credit card will be making an appearance at the weekend :-) Why is it that it takes us so long to get back on our feet after Christmas? It's got to the point where I actually googled 'How to make cash fast' and it came up with a number of extraordinary suggestions.
One I will be trying is this Music Magpie one. Apparently you put in the bar codes of your unwanted DVD's and CD's and it offers you cash for them. Since I moved into the flat, the unwanted ones have just been clogging up my amazingly massive wardrobe, space that could be better used on my clothes and shoes. Another good one is to become a mystery shopper. My mum actually tried this one last year and was quite good at it. She made £30 a time for every mystery shop she did. It didn't involve much paperwork and seems pretty cool, like your an undercover spy or something. £30 would be my food shop for a week and it would be £30 more than I had before.
Will be blogging after the weekend so keep an eye out - photos will be coming too.
PS. I miss my friends :-( Fowler and Hallas, please come back to Brum soon! I miss you much lots and am in need, not so much of a night out, but a catch up! Maybe dinner?? Please advise of dates when you will be returning to the Homeland!! :-) xxx
