    wooo good challenge diamondgal, and good luck with it :D
    Fay it must be so peaceful for you now, did you find those crowds stressful? I think you'd struggle in Manchester or London :D
    Milly *gulp* don't know what to say :o (hate medical things :o )

    Morning All :hello: Thanks SM
    Yesterday I popped into Sainsburys and was horrified to see that they had stolen SM's mantra and not acknowledged her authorship :eek: :eek: How very dare they. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - I always mention her name when quoting that.

    Anyway today I have/will:
    • been to the gym to use membership and used their hot water & toiletries etc.
    • made banana & chocolate bread in the BM, with very elderly chocolate spread - tastes a bit odd, but I was given some over-ripe bananas and didn't have any golden syrup :o
    • Having it for brekkie at work with a cup of tea (can't eat before the gym :o )
    • out to lunch today with a posh friend who loves to slum it at the local caff - egg & chips mmm :D
    • store cupboard supper
    • try and germinate some more of my cheap seeds. I only paid 10p a packet for these ood seeds last October, however if none of them germinate there'll be no saving. :confused:
    • signed up for THREE mystery shops tomorrow evening :j
    Today's my wedding anniversary, but OH is not home until next week. I'd like to do housework tonight, but I think my lodger will deem me completely potty to choose to do that :o

    Good morning all!

    Despite it not being sunny, and being rather windy, I am quite chipper today. Going to have a nice morning playing with Piglet. May even think about some housework!:rotfl:

    Milly - poor you! Lets hope they arrange that scan soon.
    Mogchops - hope doctor can sort your ears out!
    KtJazz - long time no see!!! Big Band night sounds fun!

    So here goes for today's list:

    * Check on-line banking :eek: Roll on pay-day friday!
    * Essentials shopping later as didn't do it other day - armed with £10 and a list!
    * Try and think about the dreaded ironing....maybe:D
    * Text friends - got free texts for next month (must mean I spent too much LAST month :rotfl: )
    * Work out budget for April

    Thats it for today. Have good days all!

    Miss P
