    Hey everyone

    1) LSD - 60 p for a paper and a Freddo for T.
    2) Last day at work before half-tem holiday - yay! My lovely line manager has also said I can put in a pay claim instead of TOIL for some extra hours I've done, so that's an extra £50.
    3) Free sandwiches at work
    4) Yesterday's super cheap tesco shop due tonight
    5) Store cupboard tea - HM Macaroni Cheese, yum.
    6) Online scratch x 10p
    7) Trip to the park for free entertainment
    8) Cut MOCs out of free local paper
    9) I think I will watch one of my new £1 DVDs in bed on my new DVD player tonight.

    I've just found out that the pharmacy at the end of my road is becoming a Boots next week.:j On one hand I'm thrilled but deep down I know that I HAVE ENOUGH TOILETERIES TO LAST ME AND MY FAMILY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AT LEAST. I hope that doesn't prove to be my downfall!

    Have a good evening,

  • Hi everyone!

    Didn't get to post last night as I went to see JImmy Carr live - he was fab! Even got to meet him afterwards - got a slight crush on him now! ;)

    Our school was closed this afternoon, so we were all allowed to leave at 2pm but silly me got ex husband to collect DS and drop him off at my school as his school closed too so I worked til 4pm :rolleyes:

    Came home and had a snowball fight with DS then built Sammy the Snowman who is residing in our garden now - was great fun!

    Anyway, dfw stuff today:

    - post here to keep me on track
    - NSD (unexectedly!)
    - free lunch at work
    - free (early) tea at work as we'd ordered a buffet in as it should've been parents' evening (cancelled)
    - posted cd sold on play.com, using unfranked stamps ;)
    - charged phone at work
    - free scratchcard - 10p :rolleyes:
    -bingoporting - looks like I may finally get enough for a redeem tonight if I can post on their boring forums!
    - check freebies board
    - enter at least 10 comps


    Hope you all have a lovely evening :beer:

    The sauce went really well, was quite sweet but really nice. The scalloped potatoes could have gone better, think I maybe needed more milk or something on them. But the ones that didn't burn tasted really nice. Sat here picking pork out my teeth now trying to work up the energy to sort out the canvas. Pictures are stuck on I just need to write the poem on and my housemate is going to paint it on for me because he has a steadier hand than I.
    Not an expert, but I try and contribute and I'll always listen. Middle child of middle child parents. I drink way too much coffee.

    Unlucky, you're not in the Stoke area are you?! Could be a phantom wing mirror breaker on the loose..? :rolleyes: Mechanic managed to save it by re-gluing and screwing it back onto the arm, and the replacement mirror was just a generic one - so all in all £20 for part and fitting.
  • Hello all

    Just got back from hideosly long meeting which was possibly the most boring I have ever been to.

    SM - not like you to be slacking on the expenses. Nose to the grindstone now :rotfl:
    Rachel - hope you had a good couple of days - let us know how it went :j
    Fay - still mulling over seeds - I love beetroot :D Will have more time to think next week as am on leave - :T

    Poo bags to all nasty mirror wrenching thugs :mad:

    Have a good evening everyone
    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.
