    Well you enjoy your bed, and I shall enjoy mine. Alas, I have work tomorrow. :cry:

    If we are all going to die soon could we please make a pact to enjoy ourselves now? Bit of a waste otherwise :D

    In that case can I bury the lodger in next doors garden. That will cheer me up no end.

    Is it me or if your landlady had a load of pots of roughly the same size with soil but no weeds in them out on the balcony, would you think she had prepared them for you? It's taken approx 5 hours to work out that this was the conversation we were having at 6pm (That's how well my brain is working!)

    So big hole...lodger in it.....good to go?

    Well a busy day today:

    1. Gym with the old people - very friendly and cheery though :D
    2. Flylady - up to level 3 ;)
    3. Visit from my dad and his power tools :D

    In other news I got a letter from halifax saying my mortgage rate was going up but at the point where they tell you your DD it had actually gone down due to my overpayments :D happy days!

    I am, it's not enough.

    Seems I should apologize for thinking bad thoughts - she's used her own pots!!! Yep, I'm paranoid!

    Well the end of another week... still on budget and pay day next week (day when I take money from one account and put it in another :D)

    Not much of interest to report except for the fact that I have been 10p off pay off from a certain survey site for over a week now and have only been offered two surveys both of which screened me out... I've been paid by them twice before but thinking if they ever cough up this time that's me done...grr...

    still 10p off on that survey site - grr!!!

    No job !!!!!! but I have decided to have a couple of months off and not apply for anything, radical I know but I have the money and I'm not claiming benefits so my choice I feel :D

    It's been a busy week, have caught up with a few friends and ex colleagues, finished one room completely - looks fab.

    I must get ebaying as DS is outgrowing all of his clothes and is costing me a fortune.
