    Evening All,

    I am sat here freezing - luckily the laptop is quite warm. At about 4pm my throat started hurting - it feels like I have swallowed sand :rolleyes:

    Think I will have a warming hot chocolate

    Woke up to 4 inches of snow!!!

    Made it into work though safe and sound (hugs to everyone who needs it)

    Today I have....
    = checked online banking
    = checked quidco
    = bought a latte and wrote it in my spending diary
    = breakfast and lunch from cupboards
    = having an early night to get rid of the bugs

    Take care everyone

    erm did i say that diary thing outloud? I think I might have oh dear.......

    ''The curse of the stripey socks??''
    ''goodlife gone a bit wrong....??''
    ''how not to be a sensible single parent....''


    My life isnt really very interesting - its just a bit uerm 'different'? but very dull

    Not a cow or sheep in sight anymore - how I miss them, or rahter how I miss them hiding from me - just finished the bits from my list incase SM caught me out.

    ALL done except go to boots - have been a bit pathetic today - need put a cheque in bank tomorrow and so will go to boots at the same time.

    Using 35 kwh electric a day here - about 3.90-450 a day - seems very high - considering its not what I budgeted for!!!! :rotfl:now sitting in the dark with candles and the fire on.

    OH seems pleased he is romantic and has purchased some lovley flowers again:D

    Well done you lot for doing good on your lists today - my DD tells me that ironing is bad for the planet - who am I to disagree - no no no I didn't sow that seed when she was very very little.

    Well done to piddly pants - methinks he might need a new name now - xxxxx
