Hmmm, had never thought about this and now am very tempted. Love the egg idea as well. Would be lush with a cheese and ham sandwich!

And don't take it personally with the survey screen-outs. I get screened out all the time.....I just wish I knew who they were looking for and I could answer as them!

Maybe men do less surveys - I think I might try pretending to be a man...

On one poll you can be anything you like, single, retired, teenager, large family....fairly sure you're not supposed to, but each 10p is added on to the total....:o ahem I've been single, married, divorced, retired had a large family and no family all in the space of a week...:o

I think I'm too honest for Onepoll, I only do the surveys I'm actually eligible for!!! :rolleyes:

I thought maybe they would know which surveys you have done???

I am fed up with it taking so long so maybe I should just answer them all!!

Piq - Hmmmm our librarian looks a bit like IT.

I will now be your apprentice queen of the disguises and I shall indeed qualify for mucho many survey's.

Don't tell though. - (Whoops cross posted) - sitting squinting with glasses on end of nose looking very very silly as I am also wearing a stripey wooly hat and my pj#s. My corrections still looming. Ho hum. Its going to be a long evening.

Its cold. I have no partner who will be offended by my lack of 'effort' this evening, the dog it seems is nonchalent (sp?) regarding my attire.

And the children are use to it I guess.

Hi Unixgirl - am most intrigued in freezing sandwiches. Do you just put bread and cheese together? Cos I guess salad would go all funny?!!

Thanks!

Hi all, sorry not been about today. Been very busy and just bought my wedding tiara.

As for sandwiches I make them up as normal i.e. butter or marg then filling and have frozen the following:-

ham
ham and cheese
cheese and pickle
tuna (no mayo)
chicken
beef plus mustard
chocolate spread
peanut butter


all these froze fine and I put them into a freezer bag (1000 for a pound in poundland).

Hi Fay, hows things up north today? way down south the weather is dampish but light and sort of sunny!

Anyway, just thought i'd let you know that you have a convert to stripy socks, not the long ones like you have, just little ankle socks! I was in mr t the other day buying things i needed and they just jumped in the basket, :T :eek:

still enjoying the thread!:p

Halyegrey - wooo hooo - anything that is perky colourful and basically gives you a lift is great. xx Made me smile (and today I need a chuckle)

Update
Ever watched Rhubarb and Custard????

Birds twittering, silly cat planning something terrible and Rhubarb about to embark on one of his very very silly inventions.

Anyway - in classic R & C style - 'Its a flat day in the garden, the birds are flat, the trees are flat the sky is flat..........................'

Sat around for 8 hours yesterday and did NO revising of the damn thing that needs finished for tomorrow (never mind the thing that ISNT started) ho hum.

I am the QUEEN of PROCRASTINATION

---

WHY?????????????

Getting very depressed at my ability to displace. I need a good kick up the bottom.

Does anyone else feel liek they are loving what they do but its not what they want (grass is always greener isnt it????). Ignore me I am whining.

Problem is I am a real homebuddy should have been born 50-100 years ago - when I could have revelled in being at home or in the sixties when i could have felt like an earth mother - I wasn't initally convinced (my own childhood was um - dunno lets just leave it at UM) about have having kids but when we decided to do it I really bought into the kids once we decided to have them, the life, the stay at home bit (I know utterly unrealistic) BUT - I miss it. there is soo much to do here - wonder how much of the working makes up for the bits you have to pay for or even extra for cos you don't have 'time' to do them more frugally.

(she says working from home - lol the irony - chained to a computer when she wants to be out there in the mud)

Funny I love what I do - maybe its just the idea of it. Wondering if all this academic malarkie is just to satisfy the hurt bits of me who thinks she really isnt good enough for anything?

Pah ignore the doldrums and ranting - clearly deranged - off to do half and hour then I may let myself have a cuppa.

Waving - normal service resumed at some point.
