painted_lady

OK, not had time to read through posts yet as I am back at work.
I have
- returned to work
- took lunch in
- posted some amazon sales

BUT
- got a bank fine, first one in 2 years and mainly because they stopped CTC and WTC and I made a new claim. I am now going to not take that bank card out with me. Also, tenant in my investment property is behind on rent, but not his fault.

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:D

Fay hmm at time of postingn piq - stuck in a holding pattern wildly above a very frozen inverness airport (the deep south to us northern types - lol) until we finally managed to get the man who is supposed to plug in the runway deicer thingmybobby to do his job.

So - after mucho excitement and a vow from my collegues never to travel with the stripey socked one (yup had to take my boots f(lowery of course) off at the air port to reveal not one but two stripey socks, of an unmatched description.) Well it did make me laugh - however - travelling with one of my supervisors who oddly is probably now thinking why are we employing someone who cant even put on a pair of MATCHING socks. ho hum

Today:
Well prior to the off at an ungodly hour:
Did lodger breakfast and then room, go me
Checked online banking - I have not been paid but you never know
Nicce sofa lady is now delivering lovely sofa on Thurs at lunch - saves me a 40 mile round trip.
Stew done and ready for brother
Table set for lodger chappie
Offered lodger chap to be here next week when I am in York - brother happy to pitch in a do brekkie/tea for me as he is doing kids anyway - woo hoo
Free tea and coffee all day
Free lunch
More free tea and coffee
Saw a starbucks at airport - but didnt go in, seeing one is enough for me (its been about 4 months since i have been in a 'town')
Flight delayed on way back, we got put in the exective lounge - I was good and didnt stuff my pockets not like some folk!
Didnt take laptop and worked on the plane, got a few extra things read - which is better than trying to write at same time.
Home to a cuppa - lovely couple messages/emails xx and about to attack the books.:j
Soun
Pay slip here, so I might even have got paid on time tomorrow - its a bit of a lottery here.
Something out for tea for tomorrow its sticker central (reduced stuff) in the freezer and soon we are all away - so need to not buy much and have a good rake
Apple and rasps out for a crumble for tomorrow
Breakfast table done


Um thats about it really I think about to attack my literature (i knwo again....)
Sounds like lots of snow about so take care and hope everyone is good this evening, about to catch up on thread.....................xxxxxx

Hi Everyone,

Happy Birthday :j

Glad everyone is enjoying the cold weather

Today I have.....
Breakfast and lunch from home
Bought a Latte (budgeted for) and no extras
Went to Morrisons after work to buy fish and chips for dinner (cheaper and healthier than the chippy)
Started the sealed pot challenge

Think that is about it..

Take care

Fay, definitely get yourself to York over the christmas time, its full of history, you can walk the walls, and go down some of the old streets such as the shables, plus they have Christmas markets which have a real festive spirit. Plus you will be surrounded by Yorkshire folk so you will never be lonely!!

Can't remember there being much in S!!!!horpe but its been years since i last went. You'll be in the countryside though, so plenty of lovley walks.

cheers andan - in york for conference next week so checking it out then - I love Yorkshire - trees, rivers, um loads of lovely things to do that don't involve wind - woo hoo

Hope the ed trip went well x
