i need a virtual hug

just had to leave puppy at lunch time and she was crying and crying. She even got her jaw caught in the crate as she was trying to chew to get out. I am just hoping she doesnt do it again. DD will be home just after half three but I am just sat here worrying now

Oh that's so sad Poor doggy. She'll have to get used to being left at some point though hun xxx

On a seperate note, O2 are useless. They've refunded my £150 retention credit to a very old bank account that is now closed! They've put £5 credit on my account to apologise but it's now going to be an extra week before I get the money, grrrrr.

Lilian great news on being debt free by Christmas. Shame about the pup angel flower, but i suppose she will get used to it soon, can be a strange world when you are little.

Tallie, how annoying about your car wing mirror, so unfair seeing as it was vandals.

Wish the snow would hurry up and go away, we have weather warnings for tomorrow and if it snows it means i will be snowed in. This means i will miss out on my car MOT, getting to the gym, my medium reading and my indoor play activity centre tomorrow night. My whole week has been ruined by the snow and i'm fed up with it now!

Anyway, plans for today:
-I have done daily scratch cards
-I have done a mystery shop
-I have put some loose change into bank
-I have sorted out 101 challenge finances
-Heating was off till i got in at 2.30 and is now on low
-Have looked for mystery shops
-Continued using up old beauty products
-Have put money in sealed pot
-I will tidy bedroom for productive work space
-Complete exercise for O.U course
-Look at plans for next week and create weekly plan
-Have contingeny plan in place for tomorrow so i can sort out another day to take car to garage, harder than it sounds!
-Work on golden rules for work
-Sort through emails
-Do some surveys
-Play bingo port
-Do some slice the pie, haven't done any of this in ages
-Write up mystery shopping report
-Sort out amazon book to post tomorrow
-I have sorted out my car for its MOT, by finishing the last job of putting air in the tyres
-I have put myself down for more helpline shifts whilst in town, so saved me another trip out there another day
-i will write up today's language groups
-Check online banking
-Move money around
-Update spreadsheets
-Read fave threads
-Update blog
-Check freecycle
-Check freebie section
-Do some boring household jobs
-Cook meals from storecupboard
-I will dye my hair using an old hair dye i have in the cupboard

Think that's it for me, have a great day everyone.

Has anyone ever used a Prolectrix (sp?) multi cooker? My mum says she has seen one in town but all I can see online is slow cookers - they seem more like Remoskas from her description?

Andan - bad luck about the snow - we only just got some last night and the whhole place has ground to a halt.

I know of a few people who have used them and thought them excellent. However you could also get soap nuts which work out at 3p a wash. Don't know much about them but know the old stylees go on about them a lot!!
