    Lol Tigz, don't you just love 'em :rolleyes: :D

    I've had quite a productive day; I did the food shopping (42.00 which was after the 5.00 notw voucher :eek: ), but I do have a nice full fridge and cupboards again :D I also did the ironing, 2 lots of washing, ds has done his writing for school, I've sorted out a paperwork mountain (still have a couple of bits to action before tomorrow :rolleyes: ), ds school uniform is all ready for tomorrow (including cleaned shoes :eek: ),and his packed lunch is made :T

    I'll have my bath after Strictly. I need to pack my bag for work too.

    Evening all :D I was really tired today at work, I couldn't get to sleep last night and really paid for it today :rolleyes: I've already had my bath and am heading for an early night tonight to make up for it.

    Cutie teacher mk2 said hello to me twice today and asked how I was ;) ... couldn't really tell him the truth about how dizzy he made me feel could I :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Ds had another good day at school today and did really well with his writing tonight. Nothing much else to add really, oh it was a nsd too :beer:

    Didn't see mr.cutie today :o but the day went fairly quick although I feel knackered again tonight :rolleyes: I dont seem to have done much in the way of money making for a while now, I think I'm gearing myself up for the new year already when really theres still plenty of time left to earn some more pennies this year :o Maybe tonight once ds has gone to bed I'll have a mooch round for ideas. I also want a nice bath and to sort out my nails and my eyebrows tonight too :D

    Ds has gone to mums for tea tonight and is coming home at 6, so I have 2 hours to blitz the flat as its getting grubby and messy again :rolleyes: then I'll be off to weightwatchers followed by a lazy night watching the footie ;):D

    I saw Mr.Cutie II today in the staffroom and he looked over and said hello to me, which had another t.a. asking me why he keeps talking to me?? :o:D Fingers crossed I may get into one of his lessons tomorrow as I know another ta will be off and they are normally in there, so I could generously offer to cover it for them ;):D

    So far its been another nsd, but I will spend about 6.00 tonight on ww treats :o

    I lost another pound at WW tonight :j :j I wasn't expecting to as my scales at home didn't show it so it was a nice surprise :D I got quite a lot of housework done while ds was out too, so the guinea piga are clean again and the flat is tidy, hoovered and presentable enough that mum didn't comment when she brought ds back (always a good sign, its almost a habit for her to moan about it normally :rolleyes: ).

    I've just had some tea and am now going to have some choccy and then do some surveys from my inbox while the footies on :D

  • Well done on the weightloss BB! What survey companies do you use? I've been a bit slack with them lately but I want to make a concerted effort to crack on with them.

    Found out today Mr Cutie II has a baby :o:o so thats that, back to square one, he's off-limits :o Still, at least I know for sure, so me and another couple of single mates are now planning a single girlies weekend for the new year ;):D

    Today was a cheap day, I spent about 3.00 on bread, milk and cheese. Tonight we made some gingerbread men for ds school fete on saturday, and now I need to go and get all the bits ready for him to take in tomorrow.
