  • Good luck at work Mogchops, hope it goes well for you. And Miss Piggy I hope you feel better soon.

    Today I will:

    List 3 books for sale on Green Metropolis;
    Check Retail Eyes for any mystery shopping assignments;
    Have a no-spend day;
    Clean the kitchen from top to bottom;
    Try not to have a cigarette all day *

    *If I say I'm stopping smoking, it never works. So I'm going to try having "no cig days" the same as no-spend days and see if that works! :naughty:

    Have a good day everyone
    Happy New Year :beer:

    fay are you a medical type doctor? Or can you only cure willows droop?
    Do you say "trust me, I'm a doctor"?
    Good luck Mog, I agree they'd be mad to lose someone who loves their job.

  • Laughing Olive (willows droop!!!!!) - nothing could be further from the truth - the 'I am almost a doctor bit was very very ironic!!!!

    Wouldn't it be kinda cool to say though - trust me I am a doctor - except its for flowers not humans!!
