  • Morning all!!

    Millyscarlet Happy Birthday!!!:bdaycake:

    Mrs A :eek: Glad to hear you are ok!

    Fay :rotfl: PMSl at MRSA! Made me look twice too!

    Well, that makes my morning look tame by comparison. Little one bawled when I took him to nursery. Then I waited half hour at doctors to see nurse for blood test, only for her not to be able to find a decent vein (I DID tell them when I made the appointment :mad: ). So now have to go up hospital tomorrow for somebody to stab me all over again!

    Now at home having a nice peaceful cup of coffee...making the most of a quiet couple of hours!

    Heres my list for today:

    * Pancakes for tea (forgot yesterday....oops!)
    * Washing at 30'c and airer drying
    * PAD - pay something to studio
    * Heating off as quite decent temperature here
    * Storecupboard lunch
    * Check on-line banking (not holding out much hope - payday friday :rotfl: )
    * Registered for unlimited texts on vodafone instead of free weekends - more likely to use the texts
    * Take snack to work with me instead of using expensive vending machine

    Thats about it!

  • Hi all,

    Feeling very hormonal and a bit down today, but on the positive side its payday.

    Today I have / will:
    • Daily Clicks
    • Any surveys
    • Drive cautiously so as to conserve fuel (but do need to put some more in)
    • HM Breakfast and going home for soup (so not very DFW as driving home), not sure what's happening for dinner, we've got burgers in the freezer so perhaps those with some frozen veg (BTW my ready meal last night was horrid - making from scratch is much nicer and cheaper)
    • Walked the dog - bad girl, found her rolling on a dead fox
    • Ride my horse tonight
    • Storecupboard snacks at work
    • Squash on desk to add to free water
    • Update my sig to reflect DD debt payments coming off those pesky CCs
    Not had any luck finding a second income..... Also got another bill come in that I need to pay that I don't have the funds for, so that will prob have to go on CC or perhaps OH may pay it for me.

    May take a couple of days/afternoons off to sort out the house and have a mad ebay sesh, as the weekends fly by.

    Sorry for the moan!!!!!!!!!!!
