    Bleurgh, how does my cutlery drawer get so dirty? Its only clean cutlery that goes in it:confused: Have scrubbed it and chucked a load of rubbish, also done the drawer underneath it. Who needs 6 corkscrews:o Crap just seems to sneak up on me.

    Well done on passing the assignment lil_me, i know you didnt score as high as you wanted but you still passed. What was it on?

    Hex - yes, it's the mason cash jug - I lovvvvvvveeeeeeee it! The best things is I nearly bought it last month but couldn't justify it. I told myself i'd get it in the sale if I saw it.

    Lil_me - you passed! You should give yourself a pat on the back!

    Tia - hope you're feeling better soon, ouch, ouch and double ouch!!!

    It's tipping it down here and DD has a two hour athletics competition and it's my turn to take and stay and watch. Oh joy!

    Nicki you'd be better on a contract!!! :eek: .. DS1's is £35 a month and he has unlimited texts and 500 minutes.. all cross network anytime.. and mine is on the same contract but I get 600 minutes.

    Been a good girly and paid my bill today :D

    No PAYG :o Will cost me £36 a month from next month for a huge bundle which will be about £180 worth of texts so I should be fine :rotfl:

    Tutorial 2 done, Chapter 3 started - got to go and get dressed again now. Much more comfortable and therefore easier to concentrate in my jammies :o School run and then....walk I think. Need to get DD to make ex's dad a birthday card as well. Laters :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
