    Well done on the BB win - nothing for me today......

    My ensuite needs painting - perhaps I will do the ceiling today and claim that I have "made a start".....or perhaps I will do it another day :rotfl:

    Well done on your wins DC, Im having the November no energy at the minute. My year starts again as soon as the Christmas shopping is out of the way so I know what money I got left to pay off debts! xxxx

  • Penguin, every year I declare I'm going to do the crimble shopping early and every year I'm floundering around by October, due to annual bills that take a huge chunk out of my budget, throw in the odd unexpected layout and I'm in a right mess. Really can't let myself get into such a pickle again. Think I'm adopting new year Hypno style.

    I turn into a hermit this time of year and enjoy being snuggled up on the sofa, with duvet and dog. Last night twas me and the dog waiting up for DS1 to get in. I spent all day painting, didn't get a look in on on the other to do's. Still I've got another day today in betweem taxiing kids around that I can get on with stuff.

    Need tea.

  • Morning.
    Found a bingo offer from Ruby Bingo, free £16.00, played £5 won £15 :)
    Therefore made £35 yesterday through ebay and bingo, good start to the week.

    I'm not hopeful of finding a new job this side of Christmas, really is nothing out there, and January never looks good. But then life happens doesn't it so I won't stop looking.

    Back to the grindstone today, head down and get through it.
