    Evening everyone.

    Hope you get something from your dodgy lodger pip's mum. It's not fair at all.

    At least lil pip is growing into a strong, bonny baby. :T He'll be scoffing on chips and burgers before you know it. ;):D

    evening all. how is everyone. been a lazy day today even though been at work. A lot of people are off at the moment and there isnt a huge amount of work to do. Have started doing some odd bits and pieces for semester 1 of 09/10 but other than that have to admit to surfing internet most of the day and trying to stay awake.

    - scratch and click - 10p, 10p, 4p, 4p, 1p
    - check banking - as expected - nothing in it. Am considering opening a new account and moving some things around to make life a bit easier.
    - check cc online - I have gone £2 over my limit!!!! Dont know how I did that?
    - meals from stores - had beans on toast for breakfast, sandwich for lunch and beef stew with mash for tea
    - check seeds planted out yesterday to see they survived the wind - just about, couple of broken stems which I am hoping will recover. Seedlings in house also doing well but STILL no sign of strawberry plants
    - tackle the ironing pile - done all mine and put it away!
    - have a nsd
    - collect dd from her wee holiday club thing - cant wait, really missed her!
    - catch up with friends online
    - create debt ticker - and added to my facebook (with % only)
    - use up some old fragrance oils in my tealight candles to make house smell nice
    - clean kitchen using hot water and washing up liquid rather than using expensive wipes etc
    - input missing receipt for groceries to spreadsheet
    - do a bit more work on my 101 in 1001 list - running out of ideas of goals (??!!) http://juliesimpossibletask.wordpress.com/
    - write shopping list and put on fridge to add to as the days go on
    - dont eat dd's easter egg as not enough money to buy a replacement lol
    - take dog for walkie
    - find out which ink my printer takes to see if i can benefit from the ones we are throwing out at work


    Think thats me for now, gonna catch up on here until its time to collect my baby...

    just found a pigsback clickthru - doodlys drinky toffee thingy

    Have posted a comment on your blog angel flower and look forward to seeing your 101 list.

    Got most of my things done on my list, feel like i have had a productive day as i have caught up with so many things.

    1 or 2 things didn't get completed but thats mainly because my neighbour persuaded me to have a bonfire rather than carting all the stuff to the tip all the time. So have just been out there sorting that out and have managed to burn so much of the garden waste. Am looking forward to seeing it tomorrow and getting cracking on the rest of the bush ready for the next bonfire. Has definitely saved me £s in not carting it to the tip all the time and saved me several jobs tomorrow, as that what i had planned for tomorrow!

    Hope you toasted some marshmallows Andan!

    Glad to hear the garden is going well - I'm impressed with myself for mowing the lawn earlier this week!

    Have a great evening
