  • Sounds good, I've got another 15 mins but am unfortunately surrounded by boxes so no swinging about for me. Might give my desk a wipe as I've managed to clear a lot of paper off it today and found coffee rings, crumbs and soup splodges underneath it all!

    Have a lovely weekend one and all! xx

    My desk is camouflaged under plans and scraps of paper, makes me look busy!

    Apparently the baby oil thing is something to do with it being oil based :confused:

    I normally sit with a folder infront of me when i'm not working, just so it looks like i'm copying something up :D

    Managed to get on STP, 4 tracks in and i'm getting girls singing with guitars and quite folky which is my kind of music! Thank god.

    Just got to £4.01 on STP! Will aim for another 50p but I've got afew letters to write out tonight so i might not get the chance.

    Have fun making your meal Dinah!
  • HI Dinah
    Well after reading this thread I went and joined dooyoo and and have put some reviews. I acted too quickly, though so didn't ask you to refer me - sorry :cry:
    I will add you to my circle of friends though, if that's ok and I'll rate your reviews.
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:

    Hi Pilchard, no worries, I referred 5 people yesterday and only one has shown up as 'your friend has joined!', so I think the referral system is a little buggy!

    Looks like I'm not going to get to pay the big chunk off my debt on payday - just got a letter through and my car tax is due so need to pay that before the end of the month. And order a new driving license since work check mine twice a year and ex stole my most recent one!

    Well I'm staying home cos I'm too cold, but I just started OH's Christmas project - can't say on here what it is though as he might find out, but it's part of me developing my romantic side, I hope he's going to like it. Also need to order my brother and my mums little bits to go with the big pressie from amazon using the free vouchers. Then do the less exciting buying car tax!

    How about you?

    Oh that sounds great! My dad is a museum curator, luckily he has heating!

    I need to get back to ebay soon in case another free listing day comes up.

    I've never seen 24, another of those things that has passed me by!
