    Won another £10 so £25 up now on the bingo - not all bad...

    Nearly rejoined tesco diets last time but have decided to have one more go on my own...must go get stuff for soup and have a batch cooking session this afternoon.

    So the weekend list:

    [STRIKE] 1. Tidy lounge[/STRIKE]
    2. Change beds
    [STRIKE] 3. Iron...[/STRIKE]up to date for the moment
    [STRIKE] 4. Gym at least once[/STRIKE]
    5. Make soup for week
    [STRIKE] 6. Meal plan and shop[/STRIKE]yep, and despite leaving list at home I think I got everything:rolleyes:
    7. More christmas planning
    8. sort pile for ebaying (if strike ever ends...)

    DS wants to go to the cinema this weekend but there are three things on that we both fancy so not sure what we'll end up at. Hopefully A Christmas Carol will be on for a while yet as I'm thinking it's a out a bit early...mmm... we seem not to have bothered and I fancy fireworks tomorrow so looks like none of the films..

    Was in a shop earlier and saw a mug saying "I love spreadsheets"...made me think of MSErs everywhere:D!

    Someone was saying they hadn't heard many fireworks this year - well they should move here:rolleyes:. I think it's been even worse than previous years and it's making me rethink the the whole overpaying mortgage thing...perhaps I should get out asap? Would be better for my sanity I think:o! must have another look at those spreadsheets in a bit...

    Just grabbing a pizza then DS and I are off to see some fireworks...(no not my neighbours:p).

    I love fireworks... Been taking the puppy out in the evenings to get her used to them :) Do you really dislike the area you live in?

    Really dislike it! also really sick of being in a flat and having noisy neighbours...

    There were a few dogs barking and howling outside - don't think they like the fireworks.

    You've done the work to get debt free... Time to do something for you maybe? Rosie loves the fireworks, she was trying to jump up at the sky to bite them, very odd :D
