    afternoon peeps! :wave:

    a boring day in the Hol-flat today...meeting about Easter fieldtrip to Ireland this morning, and have just finished a massive set of chemistry calculations for next monday...being shockingly organised here!
    flat is fairly clean...at least, my room and the communal areas are, and I don't care about the guys' rooms.

    have just waved a friend off home for the weekend :wave: and i miss him already! these last few months he's become like my closest friend, and helped me through some rough times, so now i feel lonely...and he's only been gone an hour! and i have to wait till sunday to see him next! what am i going to do?!?

    tea - jacket spud with something, havent quite decided yet
    the meal plan is almost sorted for the next 2-3 weeks, just need to check a few dates and things so that i dont have myself scheduled to do cooking on days when im in a rush, and try to get just freezed-meals on those days.

    have a good day everyone, and please, can you all try and get some sleep tonight! please??

    Just a quickie to let people know that cinemas often have stands with free postcards on them too. I cheekily grabbed al oad the other week, even though not seeing a film, just so I could use them as change of address cards for when we move.

    Hi all
    Only just managed to get to the pc, was at work by just after 7 this morning, trying to get on top of the work load. Had a lousy night last night, too stressed to sleep, worrying about CSA appeal.
    Porridge for Brekkie even got hubby on it now
    Soup for lunch
    Spag Bol for tea for the men, spag & cheese for me
    Blessing on you all

    Woo-hoo, I got a payrise today! Not before time too - when I started this job in the summer it was part time new job/part time old job, so my salary reflected that. It very soon became full time new job, but no salary to match. I emailed my MD last week to point this out & he's sorted it already. I am chuffed......so chuffed in fact I went & blew £6 in Asda on a new bra/pants set that I don't need (but liked). I need you OS'ers to knock me back into shape!

    Hey Lucie - it's OK about the undies :D And think of it this way - how often do you wear your undies before you get rid of them? They must be the most used items in my wardrobe, (my undies, not yours :rotfl:) so on a pence per wear, they'll cost you next to nothing in the end :D

    Managed to go into town and not buy any food :D Oh, OK I bought some linseeds in Holland and Barrett? Does that count? Went to the library and got me and boys some more books, then did lots of window shopping - found some things and priced them up - will look on ebay etc to see if there's anything similar.

    Just a question for you lot here. I haven't looked on any other boards about this for a while, so don't know if it's covered, but don't think so. When we scrape some cash together, I want to replace my hob and oven as they are laughably bad. How do I know how good they are. I don't want to pay more and find it's just as good as a cheap one, but I think what we have is one of those free oven/hobs sets that came with the kitchen we previous owners had it fitted. What makes one 4 ring gas hob any better than another - unless you buy it, try it and find out? And how do you know how good the oven/grill is? Anyone know of anywhere I can find out? I can't afford them yet - just want to do my research now. Cheers :)

    Right, off to fetch DS1 from Beavers :D Have a good evening :wave:
