It was too perfect a term not to steal it from you :rotfl:

I am going to use it in every possible conversation now

But remember... don't explain what it means to EVERYONE... keep them guessing!

...but it's nearly Lost O'Clock.

Let's hope those pesky Others have stolen Sawyers shirt again *crosses fingers*

As I'm bored, I have done maths :eek:

Since I got paid on the 23rd of January, I have paid £85 to Barclaycard and £142.45 to the Overdraft Begone account. Go me :j That's over £225 of debtbusting in a week and a bit. Yay!

Now, to go and kick one of my kitties off the top of Washing Mountain so I can sort it out during the ad breaks

All done!! In truth, I have done three loads of washing, and sorted out about two weeks worth of clean washing and put it away in drawers. I have had a NSD and been taken out for a lunch so filling I didn't have dinner until 9pm, and that was only cheese on toast.

I have raided my Overdraft Begone piggy bank to give t'other half £8 for his week of bus fares, but immediately transferred the same amount into the Overdraft Begone account so my debt repayments stayed at the same amount. This is why I prefer debt-busting online, less temptation to dip into the funds...!

Now, bed for me, and an early start tomorrow. I won't have to add up the PAD thread tomorrow morning, I don't know how I will cope :rotfl:

Good morning lovely people!

We have snow!

I like snow I am going to have to rethink my outfit for the day though I think...

Anyway, weather and fashion aside, here are my plans for the day:

• Breakfast at home, lunch made by me and brought in to work, dinner may well be my Dine in for a Tenner feast
• Take flasks to work to stop unnecessary spends
• Text my friend and see if she can take me to Asda tomorrow/later today
• [strike]Make PAD[/strike]
• Aim for a NSD - if I do make it to Asda, that's from the groceries budget and doesn't count :rotfl:

Have a lovely day everyone.

we have snow too! had a nice walk in it, now inside where it's warm having hot chocolate with marshmallows made with a crushed up flake, so once again the "diet" is blown...:o

just have to ask - what is the gyle? it sounds very exotic!

xx happy monday to all xx

We have snow too, really annoying as I slipped and slid in the car to work this morning, taught first lesson and then they sent everybody home again! I guess they were worried that the buses wouldn't be able to get through for the kids in the afternoon. Mind you shouldn't complain about an impromptu half day.
Good for you on all the debt busting!

We had great fun at work today, snowball fights, building snowmen and sledging in the garden, although getting to and from work was extremely scary, will bus it tomorrow if the weather is still as bad.

Tomtombeanie, The Gyle is the name of the local shopping centre, its not exotic, just very handy!! It has a Morrisons at one end and M&S at the other and lots of other shops in between.

Hopeful1

I had half day too. I rang LO's school and they were allowing parents to collect early - so i did. We came home and made a snowman. He looks a little anorexic though so we'll fatten him up tomorrow because SCHOOLS WILL ALL BE SHUT round here - Yipppeeee fun in the snow :j :j :j

F_F will you be given a snow day???

mooomin

It is highly unlikely I will get a snow day as I live in town and ten minutes from my work on the bus, maybe a little longer in this weather Unless the buses stop running I will be in tomorrow, whether anyone else in my team will be is another matter :rotfl:

Anyway, I am just doing a quick post as I am knackered - I was at work from 9am until 7.15pm (No overtime either) so I came home, made dinner and sat in front of the computer, and that has been all that I have done :rotfl:

I have made a PAD and had a NSD today though, I even went home at lunchtime to refill my flasks as I knew I would be in work late. Yes people, I went out in the blizzard to go home on the bus to get free hot water so I didn't ruin a NSD :T I am truly insane! Tomorrow I am going to Asda to get some food for the week, and also to post my mobile away, which I haven't done yet (Bad Fresian!) If the snow is bad tomorrow I might not go to Asda though, I need to decide!

Tomorrow I also need to call and book a haircut - my friend has Recommend A Friend'd me so I get a haircut half price :j and I haven't had my haircut for over a year so I am going to treat myself. I just need to do it before the 18th of February I think. The hairdresser is in Fife though, so I need to co-ordinate with my lovely friend so she can give me a lift there and we have time to grab some food etc too! I think if I don't spend too much of my weekly spend Challenge money I will have enough for the haircut.

Right, going to have a cuddle on the couch with t'other half for a little while then bed for me. Enjoy the rest of your night everyone.

Oh, and the Gyle is not exotic :rotfl:but bless you, you weren't to know
