Saving for a new SMILE diary

Yeah it is good, shame I never get to take advantage very often.

Just added you on facebook. Isn't it funny how you get a mental image of someone in your head and they're never like what you thought? I had you down as a brunette for some reason.

Hehe totally agree Yuk, you build up this picture in your head but the person is never nothing like you thought. I used to be a brunette, oh and a redhead, but went back to blonde a few years ago now.

I'm having trouble finding the link on FB?? a bit of a blonde moment i think, ha.

Well Apple fixed my CD drive, i was amazed as i only took an hour. They took it away and within one hour, they called and said it was ready for collection. However whilst they had it they chipped a bit of the casing and don't have the part in so i need to take it back in sometime next week when the part comes in. Warranty doesn't run out till March, and then i'm thinking of renewing the warranty for a further 2 years for £199. I know its more money considering the laptop cost £879 just 8 months ago but so many things can go wrong with laptops, and its nice knowing that if anything does i only have to go 30 mins up the road and an Apple mac guy will fix it with new parts without having to fork out money. So its worth the £199 i think :rolleyes:

Just got back from OH's mum & dads, we had a nice Sunday roast so that was nice.

Back to work tomorrow......:eek: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Why is Christmas over!

I cant believe christmas is over either. I think it must have been to fastest ever christmas for me this year!

Glad to hear you had a nice sunday roast at your OH's parents.

I know what you mean about warranties, it's nice knowing you are covered anddont have to worry about spending more money getting things fixed.

After speak to my bro, who's a graphic designer and works with Apple macs day in day out and knows how often they get problems, i think i will get it just for the peace of mind. He said they rarely go wrong, but it'll be nice to know i'll be covered for 2 years.

First day back to work today....and what a busy it was. So glad its over! I didn't want to leave though because its soooo cold outside. Kent has been forcasted snow again by Thursday/Friday, joy! Hassle of trying to get into work.

Not much else to report. OH is really cold, even though the heating is up full, so i'm making a nice casserole with dumplings for dinner, perfect meal for a cold night.

Mmm, you're dinner sounds delicious! just the type of food you need when its this cold. I think it's freezing, just cant get warm today at all, dreading our next bill!

Sorry to hear you had such a busy day but at least its over with now.

Well today i did something i've never done before and walked into work. Normally i either get the park and ride, or get the normal bus into work. But this morning i decided i'd walk. It saved me £1.70 on bus fare this morning, so i was very happy. I think I'm going to walk every morning i think, It only took half hour which is really good as i thought it would take a good hour, and when listening to your ipod the time goes really fast. I'm going to put the £1.70 i'm saving each day into my sealed pot :j

They have forecasted more snow for us in the South East, I really hope we don't get it as bad as we did before Christmas, it was good for the first day, but we just couldn't do anything it was so bad. I still have to go into work regardless of the snow as i can walk in, so i'd rather it be not a lot as i don't want to fall on my back side and hurt myself. If it gets really bad they'll send us home though.

Not much more to report money wise, still on the hunt for ways to make extra money, only thing i've seen maybe worth doing is mystery shopping, but dunno. Did think about starting it last year but didn't get the chance.

I have 2 piles of ironing to do tonight and then Celeb BB, I'm only watching it because Vinnie Jones is in it, that American guy is pretty funny too, Stephen i think his name is. That posh lady is a bit of a snob though, lady who was in Corrie and Bad Girls.

If i get time i may even put a few bits on ebay
