    Hello again!:hello:

    I'm spending my busy day at work today trying to come up with new and inventive ways to bring a giggle or two to the thread. Dodgy 3somes all round then?!

    Anyway on to business. What do people think about keeping a diary on here? I know I am not quite as dedicated as some on here but it might focus me. I doubt many people would read it though, what do I have to say?! I am tempted though, see if it could help me.

    ok, first a recap to yesterday, My kitchen is now completely spotless! I had my NSD. I also watched 5 episodes of Heroes (including the 2 on last night) - How good is it now! (I had been loosing interest) I can't remember everything else off my list but it felt quite productive.:dance:

    Today I have/will

    :staradmin do all the usual (check bank, check phone spend, storecupboard meals - sugar! my list is going to look shorter now!)
    :staradmin charge mobile at work
    :staradmin catch up with a friend but I have come up with a suggestion that will save her money by not needing to drive to mine:A, a teleconfrence catch up! I get an hour on my house phone before it charges me (to landlines) I'll set the timer for 55mins, then do the hang up redial thing. we can set a time and both have our cups of tea ready, she might go for it she might not. That reminds me...
    :staradmin buy milk for tea (ran out about 4 days ago now, been drinking nettle tea and horlix... I need a proper cup of tea!)

    That is it for me, other than working hard and wearing black and white stripy socks and sparkling all the way till christmas!

  • Not much for me today - pay day is tomorrow so I'm counting down the minutes!

    Have written my second demand to Egg requesting the refund of credit card charges and advising them that if I don't get my refund in 14 days I will be applying to my local small claims court - sum involved in £360;
    Will enter some comps later;
    Have brought in a 20p bottle (500 ml) of Diet Virgin Cola rather than spending 65p in the canteen on a Diet Coke - managed to do that every day this week so far;
    Got airmiles through my Tesco Clubcard points and now have more than enough for a pre-Xmas trip to London! :money:
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Quick update, my tele-conference idea was a no go. She said it wasn't a problem and would still be coming round. Can I do the Edinburgh thing and say "You'll have already eaten then?"...

    I think I now have to go home, tidy the living room (a bomb hit it while I was cleaning the kitchen...) and think about what I have in the cupboards that is good for two people to eat... if only I could fob her off with 19p noodles from Aldi (they are GREAT!! by the way) on toast...

    back to work with me (skiving, shame on me!)

  • Today my flat is undergoing a survey with regard to having a water meter fitted as I live on my own. If some of the supply is shared with other flats I will apply for assessed charging. The time off work is being used wisely to play catch up with all the mess here and will be phoning around later to see if I can better my landline, broadband, and TV deals. Paid a bit more than the minimum payment on a cc via internet banking.

    All I know I learned from the little picture. Assuming it is an acurate representation, what you do is one person stands in the middle and and two other people (one either side) do the timewarp right up close next to them. Thats right, yeah??

    *giggles*

    Sing it with me! :grouphug: "and bend your knees in time...."
