    Angelflower...what are O2 Surprises? Im on 02!

    Are you on PAYG? If so, go on their site and register for surprises. Everytime you top up, you get a code you then have to enter on their site to play a game of catch the duck. My shot this time was for 20 free mobile to mobile minutes so its worth it sometimes. Cant always use them, ie the picture messages but it depends on what phone you have.

    I had 'Cheese and Cucumber sandwiches' for lunch today - without the cheese. :o

    And, tomorrow, I will have 'Cheese and tomato' sandwiches - again without the cheese. That will save us from having to buy any cheese until Friday - very DFW. :D:D

    Hi everyone - lots of good lists today - well done especially to Candy and Cleosmum!

    I've been a bit blah today - can't really be bothered. I think I have that end of term feeling, but unfortunately me for me I don't go to / work in a school. :o

    1) Went to work
    2) Meals from stores and last night's leftovers
    3) LSD - just DVD rental. Young Victoria, which will be interesting as we are going to Osborne House when we are on holiday next month.
    4) Washing on airer ( don't trust it not to rain today!)
    5) A friend just bought round a load of their son's hand me downs which I have put away for T for next year! All lovely stuff, too :j
    6) SC x 10p - which I played through on 1p bingo. But won nada.
    7) Checked bank, quidco etc
    8) Found Gary.

    Have a good evening everyone!
