  • Hi everyone

    This weekend I'm on call, so spending most of the weekend at the hospital and working. I was at work till 10pm on Friday, so got dinner for free, was called back at 07h00 on Saturday morning, so got free breakfast, and left at 6pm Saturday evening, so free lunch and dinner too - yes in our Trust we're very spoilt and well looked after lol.

    Today I'm also on call but not actually at work, although I'm staying in the on call room, so am just chilling out, eating someone else's lunch from yesterday that they didn't want and then

    will be cheering Massa on in the GP later! (Sorry bout that - Ferrari Supporter lol)

    I've also updated my spendingdiary, checked my online banking - and am obviously spending time lurking on here x

    Cheers

    Evening all!!

    Hope you all have had good sundays.

    Lilly81 That made me laugh out loud.....hope the stiff didn't give you too much trouble!!

    I've had an "in" day which I don't mind as weather here is pretty grim. Dark already and it isn't even 5pm!!

    Here's my efforts today:

    * Free-ish dinner (gammon and potatos given to me - I bought veg)
    * Mum and Dad bought little boy his winter coat
    * Transferred £10 lotter win to my bank
    * Heating is off. Told everyone to stop walking around in t-shirts and put bl88dy jumpers on!

    Thats about it. On down-side am having to really beat it into my husbands brain that he is on a so**ing budget now he's on a dmp. Long story but he's spent more than he should. Grrrr!

    On plus side - he's took his kids home and took little boy with him so I have hour and a halfs peace. Bliss!!!
