    Candy - can you edit the title and add in the yellow smiley icon??!!!!! Just as I know lots of people like it as it makes the thread easier to find;)

    Lol I went back to check as I have never noticed the smiley, I always scan the forum list until I find the words 'What small' and the right date lol.

    Morning all!
    Today, I, PBR, will be mainly:

    1. Pestering the person who won my eBay item to come and collect it any time before Christmas so I have a bit more space in my living room!
    2. Paying in a cheque
    3. Returning a library book
    4. Have just advised a fellow MSEr that it's spelt "paid" not "payed"!!! hahaha - no self control - sorry!
    5. Cycling home
    6. Batch cooking tonight
    7. Trying to get out of going out for a meal with my friend on Saturday - just told her I would take sandwiches - fortunately, she saw the funny side!
    8. Collecting an item from freecycle - despite my previous moans about some of the manners of people in my freecycle group, it is a great idea and achieves its main aim of keeping items out of landfill!

    Have a great day everyone!
    Overpay!

    Hello,

    Still sniffling and coughing. Not much achieved today so I am just sitting here eating the house down and waiting for my second wind. If I can get my bottom on gear I will update otherwise I will be just kidding myself.

    Have a great rest of the day everyone!
