    Really need to go get some more beading but DS didn't seem too keen when I suggested it tonight - he's opted for footie on the PS3 while I watch Kirstie instead...
    I'm feeling really shattered tonight but resisted the urge to go buy some wine to cheer me up :D. Have done some surveys, balanced the books, checked mortgage balance (bit disappointed on that one as I thought I'd go sub 56K this month and haven't).

    I lead such an exciting lifestyle - am working out budgets and drinking malt choc horlicks...

    was thinking I should stay here a bitty longer and get a new boiler under the new scrappage scheme but I think that might lead to jail... might do some hammering tomorrow;)...

    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

    Ironing fine Penguin, it's just the rest...

    I've done the washing and ironing off my list but then sat down to watch tv and have a cuppa - woke up two hours later:o...... Still I feel better than I have in AGES:D!

    Got my talktalk bill today - for £1.15? seems to have some sort of promotional bonus subtracted from it so I'm happy! was expecting around £15 like every other month...

    Think I might go for a swim and sauna...and maybe buy a bottle of cheap baileys...
