Hi all!

Well I was hoping for a NSD yesterday but ended up having to grab some bits and pieces from the Co-op... which totalled £14!!!! Not very MSE!

Today:

- NSD
- Was going to go for a walk along the river - but it's far too cold so I'm going to do an exercise DVD instead (it's a better workout afterall, just not as nice scenery)
- Got a decent sized piled of ironing to do
- cooking chilli tonight, so should have some leftovers to take to work tomorrow
- Taken down the Christmas decorations
- I've dug out my leggings, leg warmers and ballet shoes in preparation for my new ballet class tomorrow night!! :eek: (I have also tried this on, and been trying to see if it is going to be a versatile enough outfit to wear through my other tap and jazz classes) :rotfl:
- Going to finish the day with a candlelit bath and use some of the Molton Brown goodies me and OH were bought for Christmas. (He loves Molton Brown - however will never admit this to his friends!!). Also going to do myself a mini facial so I go back to work looking bright and refreshed! I was tidying through some of my baskets in the bathroom yesterday and found some face scrub and lovely moisturisers.

Pipsmum, sending you the baby vibes! I hope all goes well and you're not left waiting for too much longer!

Have a lovely day everyone!

Pips mum, hope all goes well tomorrow and the little one gets a move on. Its obviously nice and warm in there and the baby doesn't want to face the cold british weather. Hope you have a nice bundle of joy soon.

Late again! Freezing as well, have spent 4 hours on the horse, I must be mad, why do I do it. Convinced I will never feel my toes again...

Am just about to start a mass cook-in for the week, that way when I am late back I only have to bung something in the microwave and won't be tempted by the takeaway demon...

Another nsd as well :j

I checked the bank account just after 12 noon, our pensions paid in on Sunday, pensions in and also OH's annuity, correct amount, no tax deducted...last year we had such a job with them they deducted tax, could not get their heads round the fact the neither OH or I have enough money to pay tax, took them 10 months to sort it out, then we had to apply for the wrongly deducted tax back. It cost the company £100 in compenation for phone calls stress etc......

Not been out so a nsd and £168 off our overdraft Yay!!! I spent 40p yesterday on TV choice, just 40p spent since I did my shop last monday.

Ouch tallie, i hope you are alright after your fall. Good luck with the revision, although am sure you don't need it and best of luck tomorrow with regards to the shared ownership thing.

Foreign student has just come back, so at least we will be getting money from that again, most definitely needed!
