Hello all
Not been around for a few days so hugs to all poorlies, grrrrr to all nasty bosses, car bashers, scoundrels and whoever else has upset anyone!
Have been OS ing madly but all now snaffled by DSs so will have to resume baking cooking etc tonight.
:j Checked bank - as expected - CB in but will exit shortly too!
:j Hokey Cokey underway but doesn't look v posiitve on the line drying front
:j May take sealed pot to bank as it's nearly full - might see how much I can gather during lent (thinking of giving up either a) crisps (easy option) or b) chocolate ( incredibly difficult and almost impossible option)
:j Am reading 'The secret' as recommended by a friend so will think positive thoughts in order to attract good things (is this mumbo jumbo?). If I think it, it will come to me ?!OoOoO!?
Must go and do some work now......
Bye, have a great rest of the day

HI Everyone
Feel like yuk today! Can't put my finger on it. Not the food as everyone else who was out feels fine.
EDIT: Happy Birthday MSE!!!!!!!!! Can you believe this site is 6 years old? It has made such a difference to my life!
I didn't get much done yesterday so my list for today continues:- charge phone at work
- washing
- ironging
- read a chapter of text
- print off docs for my course
- send off stamps to friend for charity
- set budget for next month - I have to do some jiggling as my mobile phone bill was nearly £120 for last month :eek: (I phoned home a lot while on holiday as mum was ill).
Have a great day.0 -
Arrghhhhh - Second time lucky with posting! Was booted out before!
Happy afternoon all, Tuesday is well and truly on its way outta here.....
Today, my DFW efforts are/will be:- Daily Clicks
- Surveys (already completed one from VO says its £2.50)
- HM Breakfast and lunch. Not so DFW got a ready meal for dinner! Then may go to chum's for pancakes
- Printed out advert to find a sharer for my horse (will help me time wise as well as money)
- Also, only bought the min order of bedding instead of a shed load. Will wait til there is a bulk order and I will add on to that, and will get a discount by clubbing in with everyone else
- Will look online for presi for my friend - any suggestions, I want to spend as least as poss! Sounds tight but I am in debt!
- Keep looking for insurance quotes! Think I have found one, but to pay monthly its 24% APR! Better off putting it on my 16% CC and paying that off!
- Find out why my Egg card has not arrived yet
- Look at local paper online for local job
- Read National Paper online at lunchtime - its free!
- PayDay tomorrow - so will try and work out my outgoings for March and see what I am left with (which is a first!)
