    Wow that is such a bargainous shopping list (add a 'dude' at the end of that and it's straight out of Bill & Ted lol)!!!
    I have had to stay well away from Boots and places like that because I am addicted to posh makeup! If I had the money though I would have done like you, such a good idea to buy all the presents in the sales.

    Nice one on the ipod floozie, it's briliant the deals that seem to be around if only you can be bothered to push for them a bit. Like your orange deal FF, no wonder these companies announce such huge profits (well maybe not all of them at the minute) if they are selling things for £30 that they can actually give away for half that.
    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    Good morning!

    Hope that everyone had a lovely night last night - we went to see Slumdog Millionaire and it was very good. I think that the posters talk p*sh when they say it's the "feelgood film of the year". Firstly, it's flipping January, and there may well be films which have more feelgood in them in the next eleven months (!!!!!!!)!! Secondly, it's actually quite a dark film in terms of a lot of the subject matter, and it could come as a bit of a surprise to people who haven't read reviews. Despite this, it's an amazing film and you should all go and see it :D

    Now, copy and paste time:

    Today I have done/will do:

    • [strike]Check online banking[/strike]£70.33 received from Ebay/Amazon :j Which means a good PAD!
    • [strike]Make PAD[/strike] £43.01 :D And there is still a week to go until payday :rotfl:
    • Breakfast and dinner at home
    • Lunch of leftovers and flask taken to work for coffee
    • Washing hokey cokey at 30 degrees
    • Possibly do some overtime if I'm not too knackered
    That's quite a small list from me today, but I'm really sleepy (We didn't get back from the movies until quite late, and on a school night too!) and can't think of anything else :rotfl:

    Have a lovely day all.

    Evening folks,

    Hope you all are ok. I have had a really bad day, and treated my bad day with chocolate, which will make me fat and ruin my NSD plans :rotfl:

    I'm not going into too much detail, but work has been annoying me all week and has finally gotten me to the point where I dragged my manager into a room and went nuts about how carp it is. There were tears (which has annoyed me, asI do not cry at work) and then I went home and had more tears. A lot of the anger/tears aren't work related, but that's what sent me over the edge :eek:

    I'm not feeling a whole lot better tbh, but I am calmer, and about to have some yummy food. NSD tomorrow (fingers crossed!) and out with the work girls on Saturday (including my manager who is lovely) so many things to look forward to.

    Tomorrow is another day :D

    FF sorry you have had a bad day sending you some ((hugs)).

    Is your manager going to sort out the work situation?

    Thank you lovely people! Hugs and advice of chocolate are always appreciated!

    I am going to have a reasonably early night (Need to sort out my eyebrow plucking first as I have one and a half neat eyebrows, but a wild region above my right eye to sort out before bed!) and hope that I feel better in the morning.

    Work isn't awful at the moment, I just got asked to do one sh*tty task too many after an awful day and thusly I exploded :eek:

    All will be well in the morning.

    *crosses fingers*

    Edit I finally found a picture I can use for an avatar - and it's actually a flying cow. W00t!!

    FF no matter how bad your week gets just remember that some of us at some point in our week have the fantabulous job of scraping yellow crusty crystals of urine from the urinals in the smelliest boys toilets in the universe. A task second only to walking through the door to be confronted with someone who says "Ooh I'm glad you're here theres diahorhea / vomit or on some days both that needs cleaning up." Obviously one of the perks of my job is I'm never the person whos shoes get puked on! I also get to unblock toilets and remove drain traps on sink to scour out the slimey gone off milk that lurks within. On the plus side the staff room in permanently full of chocolates and cream cakes.

    eeeek! where do you work, if you don't mind me asking? (and don't worry if you would rather not say! ;))

    hope your day is better than yesterday, fresian. crying when you would rather not is very irritating - i do it frequently!
