    I have a joke to share

    I never remember jokes and don’t have a sense of humour really but here goes – if it made me laugh it might make you lot laugh…..

    What did the slug say to the snail?


    Want a big issue, mate?



    (noting that slugs are the poorer version of snails whom own their own houses!)

    PS apologies – gardeners joke J

    Hi All :hello:

    I hope no one minds but I am going to post my today, Fri and bank holiday weekend today as it is officially my Friday today and I won't have internet access over the weekend.

    I plan to:
    Free scratches today - 2 x 10p
    Worked last night and got £6 in tips, wages wern't sorted again! They are suppose to be dealing with it today. Really tired today and got up 5 mins before I was suppose to leave for work so managed to grab all the food I need bar my main lunch item so got a cheap £1 pasta from the supermarket
    Check online banking and see if those damn fraudulent transactions have shown up yet - bit concerned as it says they don't store all transactions online so if they don't show up today will go to the bank and talk to someone about it, also tell them about my change of address and pay in cheque from Music Magpie and some money I want to pay in from work to go towards credit card
    Washing
    Clean clean clean
    Sorting more of the flat
    Possibly go to Ikea or Argos to get some things for the flat
    Get food for my parents and brother and his girlfriend coming over on Sun - have just found some Margharita mix for £3.99 each which seemed good so got 2 bottles, we love them! :D
    Ask Mum to bring blender and emergency chairs Sunday
    Check emails
    Register at the doctors
    Sort out money
    Print a photo of us with Keith Lemon :D

    KTjazz - That's sounds like fun making people laugh with your silliness, I wish I could do that at my main work and have more fun in my working day, but no one really seems to have my sense of humor, they just think i'm wierd, lol. I like your keep dreaming big one as well.

    Hope you all have a fantastic bank holiday :)

    Hi guys. Didn't have such a great start to the morning but after a very good sleep and stern talking to myself i am much more back to my old self again. Just feeling very overwhelmed with the amount of work i have on at the moment and the feeling that others are expecting too much from me, even if thats only my thoughts!

    Still, today i have:
    -Done 700 words for my assignment
    -Read business site for advice
    -Re watched dvd clips of deep tissue leg massages, have my first client booked in for this and am rather nervous, especially as they have loads of sports massages before!
    -Have sorted out and checked i have all massage gear for later
    -Sorted out post chucking loads of old envelopes etc away
    -Washed up all dirty pots
    -Done scratch cards and won £1, first one in ages!
    -Updated blog
    -Cleaned kitchen, emptying bins etc, so thats one more job down!
    -Picked up two mystery shops
    -Checked business emails
    -I will unpack rest of bags
    -Towels are around the house drying
    -I will do two further loads of washing
    -Print out assignment ready for first check and quote insertion
    -Start going over assignment and insering quotes
    -Get number i have to phone for transition meeting
    -Hang rest of clothes up where possible
    -Go over routine for later
    -Write out list of all i need to get done over the next few week's
    -See client and give them their treatment
    -Text friend re a meet using free texts
    -I have updated spreadsheets
    -Got up to date with fave threads
    -Will review 101 goals
    -Have tidied some of bedroom

  • Andan - there's a flower essence remedy for being overwhelmed - might be worth you having some of that one? PM me if you need to me to look it up, have a book here - otherwise hugs. You do so much sometimes I wonder how you don't get completey wiped out. xx

    Take care

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I bought a Subway for lunch as I was out for a meeting - £1.99 fantastically well spent in my opinion!

    £1.20 x 2 today in bus fares.

    My most expensive day of the week so far!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
