    Hey all, I have been suffering today with a winter lurgy - on the plus side that meant I didn't have to go to work! Feel rather better now so hopefully will have a fun day with T tomorrow on my official day off.

    1) NSD!
    2) Heard back that I have been accepted for a 0% CC. Yay!
    3) Buried myself in duvet on sofa instead of putting on heating (watching old DVDs while T was a childminder)
    4) Store cupboard meals all day (dinner lovingly cooked by OH!)
    5) Scratch card x 10p
    6) Cut out MOCs from paper

    Not too exciting, but no damage done either!

    Ah BUT .... filling up another freezer WILL require lots of extra food shopping;) all in the interests of dfw stockpiling of course:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Good morning everyone hope everyone's well

    I didn't get onto the thread yesterday, very busy at work, then managed to twang my back, so was too uncomfortable sitting for any length of time. Back's still funny, but I''ll manage!

    Fay - what is Graze? and welcome to natalie :hello:
    see you later
    Argh to a bad back Piq - poor you - mmines is still smarting from the axe chopping at the weekend

    Grazebox.......it was mentioned on the thread a graze box thing yesterday and SM (as always knew what it was):j http://www.graze.com/index
    Kinda box of nice things that you send yourself at your work - a clever DFW on here was making her own clever old thing - what a good idea - might brighten up your lunches ?????

    Oh no.......
    BUSTED - :eek:

    sighs you know me so well................

    Thinking........ if fridge and freezer cost £150 for both (1.5m each seperate larders Zannussi (<18months old)) - I only really want the fridge - so can I guess sell the freezer myself - but knowing my stockpiling nature - it will be filled quite quickly.

    Horriifed I have to admit I initially thought wow I can do my shopping all at once for the month (keep budget on track) - then of course dismissed the idea as utterly ludicrous ?sp as I would be miserable for the rest of the month.:rotfl:

    After all a girl has limits...............
