    Hiya
    That run is amazing!! Well done!! I've had a productive day with my coloured pencils - another one coloured in so only 24 to go (i'm getting sadly excited now!!) xx
  • Yes... Back to work but I worked through Christmas so I haven't really had a holiday! No biggy on that one, just need to make up for that when I get shiny permanent job and book a week or two off somewhere warm (or failing that, away from London... Somewhere like Cornwall or Scotland)

    Is there a male menopause?


    One of my (male) friends was telling me only yesterday that there is!!

  • Hi Hypno and everyone on this thread,

    Impressed by your run this morning - great distance and in good time too. I was up with the larks - had to catch a bus at 5.30am. I really should be asleep right now, but had to write because I've just found a website - musicmagpie.co.uk - where you type in the EAN number of the CD / DVD and games and they tell you how much they will give you for it.

    I've just typed in 6 CDs and they're offering me £8.50. I thought of you as I'm sure you've got a box "under the stairs" storing all your own stock. Could your children type in the numbers online? They even send you a freepost envelope, so it's simple. I thought it might help colour in a square or two?

    Hiphouse

    I found £1.80 lurking in an old bookies account on Friday-turned it into a fiver on roulette then MBed with it just to start me off. Roll on Friday when I get paid and can do a bit more.

    Thanks for all your posts last night - I was tired so shut down early and went to bed.
    We have snow here - it feels really really chilly. I won't be running in it, so hopefully it will not last too long.

    Work will return to something like normality today with the children being at school etc. All festivities well and truly done for another 11 months.

    Have a good day everyone x

    morning hon, how you doing? had snow last night here too, yet to look out of window to see what the damage is and if it has settled. I hope so i love the snow. I know what you mean about the matched betting. would love to get back into it but seem to have very few surplus funds available to dedicate to it.
    Got a long day ahead of me today finishing off work stuff then off out for about a 7 miler tonight. Have been good recently and been out and hit the streets quite a bit. Say hello to norfolk for me. I miss it over there. take care. P xxx

    Morning, we have snow as well, wasn't expecting it, its freezing. Normaility returns, everyone back at work/school, well if there is normal. Off to do scratchcards.

    Have a good day.

    The scratchcards gave me 50p on one - and it is a double day too!

    I also have to remember to do a mystery shop on my way home from work - mustn't forget.

    It certainly is cold - even DS is saying he is going to wear his gloves to school......must be cold then! Normally he is your typical teenage boy who says "I'll be ok" meaning "I'd rather freeze than accept that you, Mother, know what's best" :rotfl:

    I won't be running if there is snow on the ground - too much risk of injry. Take care, P if you are heading out.
