    Take care

    Hello,

    I am still poorly but here is my list:

    - Scratchies
    - Curly
    - Cashback bingo
    - Free G@la today - haven't done it for months but giving a go tonight
    - Got £20 from Qu1dc0 that I already received last summer, I don't know if I should be :o or :D
    - Got paid for dog walking
    - Will try to put some butter beans in SC to cook over night and sautee some green beans this evening. Idea is to have green beans with my supper (grilled tuna steak with salad) and then use the rest with butter beans and chicken/tinned tuna (haven't decided which) to have for lunch at work tomorrow

    Edit: Please anything for feeling overwhelming please!!!

    Hiya - will be a short post from me, I've just singed my fingers when I was cooking and it hurts to type!:o

    1) Scratch x 10p. If I get the Friday bonus tomorrow I can withdraw £10.
    2) Went to work. Finished now for the week, YAY!
    3) £13.40 from Quidco, paid straight to my CC.
    4) Entered cokezone points.
    5) Checked for surveys, Piggypoints etc
    6) Made a lentil dahl for dinner, and made enough for about 10 people. I will freeze the remainder for future dinners.
    7) Bought Naan breads from Lidl to go with - only 59p for two.
    8) I thought it was a LSD, but have just remembered I need to tax the car tonight. Bumsticks.

    I love Thursday nights - lots of lovely telly to watch, and the start of my weekend so wine to drink too!
    Hope you all enjoy your evenings,

    Hi peeps,

    hope your all feeling chilled out this fine evening :D.

    Got in from work and did the washing-up left over from yesterday :o. And er...that's it. I'm too tired to move, so all other tasks can wait until the weekend :p.

    I did some ironing early this morning before work but i haven't the energy to finish the rest of the ironing this evening :rolleyes:.

    It's a good thing i haven't any kids or they'd all be starving right now! I don't know how you working mums find the energy to work all day and look after your family as soon as you get home. I take my hat off to you all :T.

    Enjoy what's left of the day :)

    Thanks Fay for the idea. I took five mins to stand outside in the rain and get back to nature, then broke things down into 30min slots, so am much more up to date. Also massaged a client tonight so my body and mind are feeling much more relaxed. I love giving massage as it really helps to awaken my senses and relax the body, just by giving it!

    Thanks for the well wishes though, much more like me now!
