    Mine is getting there TPA :rolleyes: my friend has kindly offered me her [STRIKE]torture[/STRIKE], sorry, exercise DVD to tone it up. Urgh.

    You'd be very proud of me today! ! went round town at lunchtime and bought....nothing! :T Also used my £5 Morrison voucher yesterday AND I turned down an all you can eat meal on Friday (£12) for a 241 Pizza Express on Saturday :D Not bad eh?

    I've been looking at thank you gift ideas for the wedding party and have found personalised wines/whiskys for £10 and personalised champayne for £30 whic I didn't think was too bad - any thoughts?

    Plan tonight is to tidy the house and go through the freezer, such an exciting life I lead :p

    say's the one who's been to thailand! how was it?

    It's nice that it's light enough to do..say the mowing...at 9:15pm :)

    I managed to tidy yesterday but didn't go through the freezer, caught up with the last Hero's instead :o I couldn't quite believe how it ended but we all know that Syler "will be back" yum...syler......or spock as it were.....


    ....

    Anyhoo :o I've been good and dropped off a bag of books at Oxfam, bought a book at Oxfam lol and eaten two rather large cookies.

    Am looking forward to the hair trial tomorrow :D and our house party Sunday, not so much to recoving from the hangover on Monday though

    No... we don't have such a thing as time and a half. :rolleyes: I work at a uni and they seem to follow local holidays rather than bank holidays - Xmas day, boxing day, 1st Jan, 2nd Jan, Good friday, Spring holiday (mid april), Victoria day (18th may this year), the day after victoria day (:confused:) and autum holiday (mid sept). We are also required to save 4 days of our annual leave for xmas too (my work shuts for 8 days at Xmas/New year) Very odd...

    Hmmmm... Monday, just a relaxing day including buying clothes I don't really need but like and wanted on ebay! :o Tuesday I spend all day ~9am till ~11pm reading up on an area of work I'm not up to date on and starting to write a report on it for work. :rolleyes: I don't mind as its actually really interesting and may possibly form the basis for a PhD project for me so I'd need to read/write it anyway to try and get some funding! Part 2 will be done this weekend - there is building work going on in my work building so its quieter to work at home when I need to concentrate for long periods. :rolleyes:

    What are your plans for Mon or will that be clearing up after the party _party_ :beer: :dance: and drinking lots of water and attempting to locate the paracetamol? _pale_ :whistle:
