hi all. well here in northampton it was treacherous driving this am.. the bit of snow we had turned to black ice ... and even though i wore my "clark" trainers which have the most grip ive seen on a shoe still managed to nearly fall over a few times on way to car!

Anyhow...

Checked online banking
Charging mobile by usb on works computer
Going home for lunch
Reading some threads on here for inspiration!

Morning All!

Today I am

Checking online banking and realising that money has been transferred wrong!! :mad:
Finishing a journal in a jar for In-Laws anniversary
Washing on 30
Store cupboard tea (with toffee pavlova for afters.....yummy!)
Charging generic mp3 player using computer
Finishing my 1000 piece jigsaw I started on Sunday evening and moving on to another

Not quite a nsd for me as I had to pop out to get milk this morning but we needed it


Hope everyone has a good day and the snow doesn't affect too many of you x

Goooooooooooooood Morning:D

this is a snow report for Andan - DO not drive today if you don't have to. Heavy snow falling here on top of black ice. No work for me again and I can't see me working this week as I have a driving job (and also have to do a lot of walking round towns etc)

Thanks for the weather report Mickey! Work was cancelled anyway today due to the snow, although i didn't find this out until i was up and dressed and had a look at my car, i then phoned work who said not to bother as we were closing for the day.

I have a second job to go to at 5pm and then the helpline but am seriously considering cancelling them as 1) I'm not sure if my car will drive up the hill, 2) I'm not sure how safe the weather is to drive in and it may get wordse.

My youngest daughter has always been known as 'piglet' and still is - and she is 26 now!

Morning all (just!)

Today I have:

• a HM lunch
• walked to work (not to save petrol but due to black ice!)
• surfed MSE for motivation as lacking a bit at the mo
• done daily clicks
• cancelled my hair appt for this weekend
• will walk dog and tidy house later for a bit of exercise!
• will be a lsd as need to buy some essentials but will go for cheapest options!

Have a good one all.

Keep up all the MSE efforts - it all pays in the end.

Well it is now snowing quite hard here with some sleet at times so i have cancelled my plans for later as i don't think its wise to drive in snow, especially seeing as i am an inexperienced driver.

Hate letting people down but think it is best for my own safety.

Think thats it for me today, this snow is changing so many of my plans that its turning out to be an odd day. What makes it difficult is not having my OH here to ask questions and our big strong strapping neighbour is stuck in Wales so he can't help me with my car either.

On a positive note though, my other half is coming home at the weekend, turns out he's missing me more than he thought!!

Hi everyone

Argh, just felt really pressurised at work - good friend who sits next to me asked me if I wanted to come to Pret with her and another girl at lunchtime for a coffee - said I couldn't justify the cost and I don't even really like coffee and I have fruit tea here (which is exactly the same as the one I would get in Pret) and she started going on and on "Oh come, go on, it's not that much". She knows I'm really trying to save Anyway, have let them go off on their own. Feel a bit sad now.

Ah well. Other things today:

Checked banking - no movement
HM pasta for lunch with HM flapjack and fruit/nuts from home.
Ordered free tickets for a play tomorrow but might cancel them as it's 100 mins with no interval and I get really fidgety!
Post out Ebay sales (didn't do this yesterday) and send a DVD to my Dad that I would originally have sold on Ebay but can't justify now what with free postage rules.
Check other Ebay listings.
Decide which OU openings course to take, will pay on Thursday.
5 point clickthrough on Pigsback!

Fluffy brown socks today

Think that's everything, have good days all xx

Don't feel sad Lillian, you would have spent £5, Pret always costs at least £5 You won't care about it by 4 o'clock this afternoon, think how fed up you'd feel then if you had gone!
