    Hey guys, today is planned as a nice quietish day! OH came back last night, it was unplanned but he'd had enough of his boss who through out the whole job has done barely any work and none at all this week. So, it was nice to have him back and i am very happy, however at the same time, its getting used to having him back full time and the constant battle over gas, elec and food!!

    SM, good luck at the weigh in, am sure you will have done great, especially with all the exercise you do.

    Claireabelle, how exciting about the new car, hope its turned up now.

    Yorkshire belle, not sure about online training, happy to give you a kick up the backside any day though!!

    Happy birthday Hamster poo, have a great day.

    So, today's things:
    -Been to work for my pennies
    -Done daily scratch cards
    -Lunch was something from the freezer that has been lurking there an awfully long time and cooked the whole pack, so i will have the rest for lunch tomorrow.
    -Have looked for mystery shops
    -Turned heating down and am hoping other half won't notice

    -Tea will be another wierd concoction from the freezer
    -Need to check online banking
    -work on deep tissue consultation form
    -I have sorted out free massage swap for the weekend
    -Type up one child observation
    -Continue using up old beauty products
    -Do gym mystery shop
    -Type up report
    -Check business emails and optimisation
    -Read business site for advice
    -Check out new work related course

    -Hung washed clothes around the house to dry
    -sort through some emails
    -Do some surveys
    -Move money around - still can't do, not sure whats happening with my £1000 that i tried to transfer from Halifax!!
    -Pay OH what i owe him
    -Pay off bills

    -Sort out child massage form
    -Water seedlings
    -Find some small pots to plant little courgette type things in, now that they are getting very big

    Think thats it for me today, everyone have a great day and i will catch up with you later

    Hi Everyone,

    Happy Birthday HampsterPoo!!!!

    Still very manic. Just had a 2 1/2 hour meeting that has blown my brains - I need to convert the notes I've made into minutes!!!!! Also very frustrated as the member of staff who supports me in this part of my role keeps making very silly mistakes which makes me look unprofessional. It is being dealt with but I just need to vent!

    I've got college tonight so don't have a huge amount of time to be DFW but here is my small list to keep me on the straight and narrow!
    • bank insurance premium money from neighbourDONE
    • brought in snacks for the day
    • cheap lunch at work
    • read more of article for assignment - really need to get my bum into gear with this one.
    Have a great day

    It has! And i'm in love... :love: it's so blue and shiny and nice smelling :D
    it's sort of DFW because i didn't get a finance deal or loan... :o and because our payrise is quite big this year it pretty much covers the tax cost etc (I keep justifying it!!)
