The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

If I have to get around to watching something, I figure I don't actually want to, and I shouldn't force it, its just a movie after all!

Went and got some patterns, they were just putting out a whole load of new ones too, lots of choice.

Had to go and get Fathers Day cards - no matter how hard it is to get a card for your own dad, buying one for your OH's is 10x worse! It took me 30mins!

I have to make cards for my Dad (not too difficult) and OH's Dad- impossible! He likes one thing in life-computers- and he's had his fair share of computer cards from me by now! I'm totally stumped!

I know what you mean Dinah - i had to buy OH's mothers day card, which was hard enough!

Just been down shop and took the dress that didnt fit back, didnt have right size so got another was 18 pounds more but had a ten pound voucher so not too bad

Bravo Tete! Was it very tough?

Yes! Loads of little repetitive movements and holding positions and things, I feel really weak and shaky now but trying to resist the vending machine (don't think I'd make it that far anyway!)

Which one is There Will be Blood - Daniel Day Lewis? What's the one with the oil man? Or is THAT the DDL one? What's the one with the drugs deal gone wrong at the beginning? I fell asleep half way through both but the critics seemed to love them.

What are the patterns for Dinah?

Are you pleased with the new dress Wendz, you don't seem too excited!

It's more of a time thing, there are loads of films I want to watch - like your 1000+ books-to-read pile

Ooh what sort of patterns did you get?

ETA: Tete, sounds painful but virtuous!

Got the sewing patterns from the charity shop from yesterday, got a really wide range so pretty pleased to be honest.

Another very busy, very long day at work, nearly the weekend though.

Same here Dinah, I'm chasing around trying to get people signed up on my course, but they're never going to get it done in time for the summer hols in 4 weeks so I'm going to have nothing to sort for Sept over the summer and it's going to be a very boring six weeks

OH just text to say he took scary lady from work into Jessops with him and they've agreed to fix my camera! Whereas before it was a flat 'no' - so I'm really pleased we don't have to shell out for another new one when this was only 6 months old!

Dinah93

Yey that's great news Tete!

Birdie85

Good news about the camera Tete!
I'm glad that other people are having crazy days, I seem to be an idiot magnet today! I can't wait to go home!

"Idiot magnet" - Ha! Love it! I've adopted that one!

Thanks I'm really pleased bout the camera

One hour to go...
