    MoT, you is up at stupid-o-clock :rotfl:

    Whereas I gave up alcohol this week (MS idea, and because I was not sleeping either) and have slept each night like the proverbial lump of tree. ;) Woke up this morning as the alarm switched OFF! :eek: decided that it was a mistake and it was really still 7am and properly woke at 8.20 :eek::eek: (Still got into work, washed and dressed (not necessarily in that order) by 9am :rotfl:) But haven't brought in lunch :naughty: but have brought my total for lost coins up to 15p this week and added another NSD :beer:

    As for your shoes.........I spoke to someone who works for that store and she said, do try taking them back, there may be a manufacturing mistake and they've been wrongly sized. They do get them returned for that reason, and if you get a sympathetic assistant Bob is a very close relative (sorry Bob :D)

    PS I'm not stalking you really :o

    :j:j:jSomeone left 50p in the machine today :j:jmy total for the week now 65p.

    I'd be SO cross if it was me wot left coins in the machine but I wouldn't do it again - I can't believe after six weeks of this new machine people are STILL doing it :confused: (Big building, maybe it is a different person everytime?)

    Good News:
    1) Boss bought our lunch today :D:D:D
    Now if I can just resist a takeaway I'll be in with a chance on another NSD.....must be strong,.....must be strong.:o
    2) Carpet company are refunding £70 for all the fitting errors that Popeye has got to sort out when he gets here :D
    3) Piano has GONE :D:D at last
    4) Freecycling the boat is proving more popular than I'd thought. Already had one caller (who'd like it but needs to check out something, in the meantime he says if someone else nabs it he'll understand)
    5) Lodger out this evening, so are DD and DS2 so an unusual evening in on my own :D:D:D (Takeaway would be cheaper for just one person.......)

    Evening going downhill.......DS2 has returned :eek:
    There's a bottle of wine in the fridge that I want want want :obut I know that if I start it, the will power needed to avoid a takeaway will be swallowed :o:o

    DD's stuff more than fills the space left by the piano - so much for decluttering :mad:

    I'll console myself with my fave peanut noodles and fend off DS2......
