andan

Fay, i really want to hear the sheep story now!!

Piquant, fantastic news about how much you have paid through the payment a day challenge, i have been keeping it up but only small amounts. You've done fantastic though.

Painted lady, will you please get listing your things on ebay, i keep looking at your list and seeing you haven't done and its making me want to do it for you!!:rotfl:

Princess loki nice to see you back and am glad your feeling better.

Bathgatebuyer, good on you for complaining, lets hope something other than satisfaction for your injustices, comes from it.

Hi to any newbies and a big hello to Sophiesmum.

andan

Am hoping for a fairly relaxed afternoon, so not doing a long list today and will be spending most of the rest of the day doing assignments, housework and generally taking it easy!! Sounds fab!!

Todays things:
-Have put money in payment a day pig
-Am doing daily clicks
-I'll sort emails
-Do any surveys i have received
-I've looked for mystery shops and will continue to do so during the day
-I have one load of washing on and am going to get a few more done, i'll try and dry them outside while the sun is shining and then will dry them on the radiators later, when we need to have the heating on.
-I'll try and keep the heating off for as long as possible, so that it cuts down on our bills
-I'll input meter readings into this site i found out about, which will calculate your weekly costs
-I have received my credit card so will activate it and then try and do a balance transfer, as my other 0% runs out this month
-I will check online banking and hopefully a cheque will have cleared so i can pay the council tax bill
-I will work on my partners ear candling case study
-I'll work on my friend's ear candling case study, the one that i treated last night
-I'll do lots of work for my own job, including lots of printing and making observations, don't get paid for it, but its important for my job and will benefit the children, so its worth doing
-Work on counselling assignment and make notes for saturday
-Work on nvq homework
-Look on freecycle for free things
-Look at emails regarding placements and try and email some people about placements, everyone keeps telling me to wait till after xmas, so not overly pleased with this one
-Find out an address of an old contact as they wanted to know when my business had set up as they wanted a treatment, so will find out their details and put some info together
-I'll write my counselling journal after yesterday
-Will post letters so i get my mystery shopping payments
-Will look for some more bookies to sign up with
-Tidy bedroom and house so the place is clean and i have a productive work space
-Make meals from storecupboard - used up lots of left overs
-Read some counselling books

Have a great afternoon everyone and catch up with you all later.

Glad everyone is having such a positive day, must be all the sparkling having an effect, even the sun has decided to make an appearance here after such a miserable start to the day:D

Fay, I'm with Andan I really want to hear about the sheep now I am intrigued:D

OliveOyl - I have only had my remoska a few days, still getting the hang of it yet but happy with it so far. I got the grand, which I was pleased about as it is much smaller than I thought it would be.Fay's talk of sausages and yorkies has inspired me to try a toad in the hole in it for tea tonight, will see how that turns out:D

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone, oh didn't manage a no spend day as they had 1 litre cartons of vinaigrette , and 1litre cartons of honey and mustard salad dressing at costco reduced to 47p each so bought one of each for my stores. Bargain though as they are usually about £3 each.:D

...and she hasn't added her sparkling and looking fabulous :eek: not a full list, me thinks....

I 'fessed up at the library, that I'd lost their book, it was in a tesco carrybag, I'm sure I've thrown it away :mad: So I've had to pay 6.29 for being stupid. Of course there are those that might say over the span of my lifetime so far, I've got off lightly:rotfl:

Come on Fay (little bo peep) tell us the story of how you lost and found your sheep

andan

When i started typing it it wasn't long, then it just seemed to grow on its own, lots of them are little jobs, so not as full as normal!!:rotfl: However i did surprise myself when i saw how long it was, not sure what happened there:rolleyes:

Its just nice to be spending the rest of the day at home instead of having to rush off to lots of different places!:T

The sheep story isnt that interesting - you'll be sorry you asked.

I check our college farm stock before work (money soon adds up as its 7 days week 2hours day £8hour takes about an hour to do if all well) got the idea of a second job from here, so thank you guys - but farm is slowly being shut down by council grrrrr (who own college) and at the end of the month I will be out of a job.

ANyway tootled off this am before work, and when yesterday 3 fields had about 200+ sheep minding thier own business and grazing away - this morning there were nowt but empty fields - no escapees no amazing hide and seek sheep NO SHEEP (200 sheep arent easy to hide) but they are constantly chancing it and wandering through fences and ending up in the wrong place - so off I went searching in the surrounding fields .......

Anyway once round farm quizzically looking for them I decide OK someone has probably shifted them so I skoot up to farm, I discover only 85 of them in a field hiding behind my willow stacks - minus lambs.

Turns out the farm manager yesterday (lovely but micheivous sort) decided to sort the sheep out and sell the lambs - one call to mart - sheep in, and away in lorry to sale. I was writing up at me desk at home.

Very very sparkly look on his face this morning as he said to me 'fooled ewe!!!' - 'I kent you'd sort it oot lass' - thus for about an hour I thought I had 'lost' about 200 sheep - not an easy feat!! Told me it was nice to see me on my toes. And he didnt want to disturb all that writing stuff - so didnt phone.

The only thing funny about it was my face as I huffed and puffed aroudn the fields with my binoculars lookign for my sheep - feeling very silly!!!

Andan nice to see you having a quiet day at home lol - Piq grr about the book SM suns out here too - decided to have lunch on beach - just as a shower turned up - pah!! Lucky I had my waterproofs on (non sparkly regulation issue green)

To the rest of you hope you having fun - am full of rachels organic yoghurt that was reduced to 40p in my local old fashioned grocers -
