    I don't think it is sad, I love doing it too haha.

    Not much snow at all yet but I expect it will be worse here tomorrow.

    I have made a soup for my lunch tomorrow and Thursday, it is the same one I made for Christmas so should be nice. Is good for the diet as well which isn't going too bad so far!

    I am just waiting to heat my soup up today , massive queue for the microwaves, probbaly due to it being so cold!

    Got sent home early from work yesterday which was nice especially as the travel wasn't actually that bad. Managed to start doing some revision for my exam end of the month. Is pretty daunting but is similar to exams I took at uni so trying not to panic.

    I have managed 3 NSD's so far this week so very impressed with myself. I shouldn't need to spend any money till the weekend when we are bowling and out for a meal for my friends birthday. Speaking of birthdays still don't know what to get OH for his, he can't think of anything yet and I don't want to get him something he doesn't need/want as we are trying to declutter.

    Well done on your NSD's so far and for making a start on your revision.

    Men are such a pain to buy presents for, i never know what to get my OH.

    I'm with you on that one, men are a nightmare to buy for, my OH's not too bad as he's always wanting PSP/PS3 games or other junk guys want, its my brothers and dads which i find tricky, only so many times you can buy them socks and slippers.

    Well done on NSD's, and great news about getting in extra time for study.

    Yep will be a nice lump off the debt to my Dad.

    Have just been speaking to insurance company about my car and they still haven't had the estomate through for the damage so they are getting the garage to re-send it. Hopefully should know soon, as I want to know whether it is worth fixing. The other party is also trying to claim against which is annoying so don't know what is going to happen about that. Just hope it doesn't cost me too much in total.
