    Hi Everyone

    I am so glad it is Friday - couldn't get out of bed this morning and it is miserable out there.

    SM - new keys- how exciting - do we get to see piccies this w/end?

    Fay - should you see your GP?

    Miss P - when I have a mountain that needs climbing I break it into little chunks - maybe 5 or 10 items at a time?





    My list today:
    • check to see if my letter about the sofa has been delivered - am so annoyed about this. I dropped it off at the post office last Wednesday!!!:mad::mad::mad: STILL NOT DELIVERED :mad::mad::mad:
    • [STRIKE]scratchie - 20p[/STRIKE]!
    • [STRIKE]Meet colleague for coffee - use 10% off voucher[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Meet another colleague for lunch and go green with envy about her holiday[/STRIKE] She Paid :j - bless her
    • [STRIKE]Ask OH to bring his camera so I can take some photos for Ebay[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Am doing my voluntary shift tonight and won't have enough time to go home first so am treating myself to chips but have brought some sauces with me so don't have to buy those[/STRIKE].
    • [STRIKE]Walk for 30 mins (not sure if I'll manage this as it is still raining and very windy here!)[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]search for the sparkly dust - it must be here somewhere![/STRIKE] Am just about to leave work for the day so I think that's helped!:T

    :hello:

    Morning All!!

    Todays list is a short version of my BIG list in my diary, which I am going to tackle of the course of this week and next, as I'm on holiday from work for a week and a half!! :j

    So todays items are:

    * MUST get the spare room in order, and my desk tidy
    * Take Car back to garage, as the new tryre is also leaking
    * At least 1 hours revision for next week's exam

    Short but sweet... but then if you saw my spare room you'd understand the HUGE scale of the task!! :rotfl:

    Have a nice day! x

    Happy Friday All :D:j

    So going by what other people have said on here we can't get free TAB scratches anymore?! I'm so annoyed becasue I was 55p from withdrawing, now I will have to play it all and hope for the best, that will teach me after spending £1 of my winnings on other scratcards that I didn't win on!

    Thanks for the 101 replies from yesterday all (i'm always thanking for yesterdays replies as can't get on the net at home yet so am catching up). Starting looking at other peoples 101 things and already getting some inspiration, so thankyou. May start compiling my list now.

    For today and weekend;
    Drive economically - left earlier for work today so had more time to drive slower
    Get an acceptance note for my Great Uncle/Godfathers 80th in July- am so excited about this :D
    Try and find some cheap cotton gloves so I can moisturise my hands overnight. I get bad exzema and really dry skin :sad:
    I fancy having a little pampering time on Sunday with all the nice goodies I have at home
    Try for my 3rd free book
    Things from yesterdays list that I didn't do
    Free scratch - just won £5 on BB - WOHOO!!! :j:j
    Play some of TAB money
    Check emails
    Lunch from home

    Lol, just played a bingo scratch on TAB 3 times at £1 each and won it back all three times :rotfl:

    Hope you all have a fabulous weekend x

    Just a thought for those of you with money in the TAB scratch accounts - could you not just deposit some more money and then withdraw everything rather than have to play your accumulated money.
    Check out the terms and conditions first but I would have thought that would work:confused::confused::confused:
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.
