Good afternoon ladies and gents. I haven't checked in for a couple of weeks because I've been busy, busy, busy. However, I'm still trying to be good. Therefore:
I have:
* Popped some washing in this morning at 30 degrees so it should be ready to hang out (weather permitting) when I get home from work (unless my Ironing Fairy Grandmother has turned up at my house and hung it out for me like the gem of a Nannan she is.)
* Put my name forward for a moisturiser trial on Litmus Test. So that means freebies and Boots vouchers if I get accepted.
* Checked internet banking. Everything as expected.
* Got freebie tickets for myself and the OH to see Rock'n'Rolla on Thursday at our Cineworld. Must remember to get goodies to take with us because we get naughty when it comes to popcorn.
* Done a few surveys and piggy clicks. They don't seem to be sending many today meaning I have to do some work!
* Brought my dinner in. Nothing exciting. Been looking for a sexy new lunch box which might make me feel more enthusiastic about ham sandwiches!
Today I will:
* Do some more washing and hopefully it'll stay dry enough to hang out later.
* Have some tea at home after a naughty weekend of excess at the local pub and takeaways. Try and use some of the pounds and pounds of runner beans my Uncle keeps bestowing on me!
* Unless I see a nice lunch box, have a NSD.
* Dust... seeing as I have a stuffed up cold nose anyway, I might as well get this most hated job out of the way.
* Remember to bring my camera battery charger into work tomorrow.
Have a good afternoon and evening everyone
