    Hi Stuart, our posts must have overlapped, I have loads of things I could do..but I don't want to, I want to be on here waffling away!:D

    TPAx

    Me too :(

    So far my 'cope without MSE list' consists of:
    - 1 mystery shop
    - buy plant pots & lots of compost
    - dismantle shelf unit & rebuild as raised bed (using DS as slave labour ;))
    - buy some bits'n'pieces for apartment
    - sort out house insurance (quidco hopefully)
    - finish off in mums house
    - sort out clothes for holiday (7 more sleeps :D)
    - electronic banking update, staring at spreadsheets etc.
    - if brave, log on to pension site :eek:
    - do trial shop for another MS company
    - go on wiifit twice :eek:

    Roll on Sunday night ;)

    But did you go back for the wine /
    What is it by the way ?


    Erm in a word...yes, I know, I'm weak! Anyway 9 bottles to add to the garage stash for just over £26 on a wine thats normally £7.99 a bottle cannot be bad!:rolleyes: They seem to give 5% off the orginal price if you buy 6 or more and then the extra discount:j

    Theres lots on 3 for £10 but the ones I chose were Merlot Vina Maipo Reserva Red - very smooth yum, and the Rose equivalent. At that price I couldn't leave them there, could I?

    Good news on the money front, both hubby and I got Quidco payouts, mine £10 and hubbys £22 ...every little helps:T

    Gallygirl, you need to rest, that list is far to long!

    Fortuitously I'm too far east to hear it! I'm sure you sound great, but the choice of music leaves me with visions of all that was sooooo wrong with the 1970s :rolleyes:

    Mind you, recession, civil unrest, redundancies, Labour Government..... maybe it isn't just ABBA that reminds me of that era; the only thing we don't have are endless strikes and powercuts for that "authentic" feel... (Sorry to all you under 35 who won't remember that time!).

    mmmmm, now where did I put my grumpy old man's cardigan? :p
