    Hello all!

    Happy Birthday Pips Mum!! hope you have a lovely day!!

    clocked up over 10 hours yesterday double time at work and will get the hours back in lieu!! wo hoo :j shattered today but will be happy when get the pay check at the end of May!

    managed another NSD and found 5p by my chair when eating in the canteen.
    today hoping for another NSD, as off to watch rugby, but its part of my season ticket.

    will do the usual:
    daily scratch
    daily clicks
    check online banking! not too happy as only £20 left to subsidise any going out trips to last me til the end of the month, so will have to be very careful.

    hope everyone has a good day and hugs to those that need one!

    Hi Everyone

    You're all up so early!

    Thanks to Mogchops for getting this thread going!

    Fay - have a fun trip back in Darwin

    SM - hope arm is recovering.

    Pipsmum - Happy Birthday - thanks for sharing the cake. Have a beer with me! :beer:

    Yesterday's lunch went well - so at least our folks get on!

    OH and I are off to a really good friend's today so don't know what DFW things I'll manage.

    I really do need to:
    • clear the bathroom
    • ironing
    • washing hokey kokey
    • search for a new laptop - I missed a brilliant deal but desperately need one. Mine is dying :o.
    • check bank accounts
    • update spending diary
    • update spreadsheets
    Hope you all have a great day. I'll catch up with you all this evening.

    • help my Dad empty his coin jar and sort it into bags, etc. for taking to the bank tomorrow.
    Angelflower - I can only echo what everyone else has said. I think you've taken the right approach to this, and it's wonderful that you're so close to your daughter that she can discuss these things with you. I hope it all works out xx

    Good morning all!

    Today I will

    - do regular maintenance on the house so we avoid big bills later! (cleaning out gutters, touching up paintwork on window sills if it's sunny enough)
    - make supper out of half the remains of the roast chicken we had yesterday
    - make a nettle and spinach soup with leaves from the garden and the chicken stock

    If that gets done quicker than I expect I'll also
    - check online banking...
