  • morning all

    I come to you all bleery eyed. Pup woke at 5 am and cried until 6.45 at which point I went through and shouted at her. She cried again when I left this morning though.

    Going to have to purchase a hot water bottle and cut up some old clothes for her though so she will maybe settle down a bit more. Looking forward to the weekend to try doing a bit more training. I reckon I will have to get tough!

    - PAY CAR TAX - i know i know, but definately going at lunch time today
    - check online banking
    - write bank charge reclaim letter using hardship rules
    - try have low spend day. Cant believe its the 6th and havent yet had one NSD!
    - do washing hokey cokey
    - use up free newspapers rather than buy more puppy pads.
    - eat chocolates at work
    - one trip to the horse - save petrol. Muck out stable as didnt do yesterday. Free exercise.
    - scratch & Click (20p :) 4p, 1p)
    - check for piggy points (none)
    - use rogof pigsback blockbuster voucher for weekend entertainment
    - finish TMA4 (had to ask for an extension as I was so busy reading the funny odd things in freezer escapades last night LOL)

    Thats it....will update later. Have a great Friday

    Hi guys

    Found out today I have won the Jet2 free flights competition - woo hoo! Although I am one of the people affected by the Hotmail issue (emails aren't getting sent) so now have to wait for a letter before me and BF can book (he won too). Hope it arrives soon...

    Anyway, other things:

    Checked banking - no movement
    Daily scratches - 2 x 10p
    HM pie/mash/beans for lunch, fruit,nuts and yoghurt also from home. Forgot HM flapjack so will have to have willpower to stay away from vending machine!
    Found £9 scratchcards in desk from last time work played so will see if everyone wants to get more today. No idea who was in the syndicate now though!
    Checked Ebay, no more bids yet

    Going to the theatre tonight (won tickets) so will look for a Martin discount voucher for food before - maybe Gourmet Burger Kitchen as haven't been there yet.

    Have good days everyone xx
  • hey lillian, gourmet burger kitchen is good, my housemate treated me to it when I had to have an injection in my hip. Currently on hold to my phone company, boring.
