Squirrel's Smiley, Smart and Solvent Diary

Bit blaaah today, bit worn out after the last few days. So can't be bothered with work!

Mr Squizz has given his proper statement to the police this morning, they were more helpful today - didn't ask him if he was up to anything dodgy like they did yesterday!

We had a chat about the weekend away/ interview last night and agreed that it would be better not to go - I had forgotten about the connecting train ticket which was going to cost more than the long distance bit so we decided it wasn't worth it, we can go another time soon. Think we could probably both do with a nice quiet long weekend at home anyway - roll on Easter!

Can't think of anything else here so I think this is the final version! Might as well start now as it's easier to run from payday to payday.... off to alter sig...

I think I'm going to try to keep track of everything I spend this month (having post payday spending urges here!) so...

£5 - CD (something Mr S had been looking for and I found it cheap online yesterday)

Need to buy some lunch today too, tut.

Karmacat

Tut indeed! Tho Mr Squizz certainly needed cheering up yesterday, and we were talking about finding ways to support him. On the whole, its :T

Well I found some noodles in my drawer so had those for lunch. They weren't very nice but at least they were cheap!

I feel rubbish Tired, got the start of a cold, grumpy, sick of work, sick of the rain, annoyed cos my little broccoli plants that had survived the winter got munched by slugs, seem to keep getting on the wrong side of people the last couple of days - just had enough with everything this week!

Realised this is quite an unusual position with this interview - having a couple of weeks to prepare - been doing some reading, looking at their website etc but need to print some stuff off to take home.

Looking forward to a quiet weekend, maybe going to farmers market on Sat if we can be bothered. Two days to get through first though, sigh.

Not sounding too good hun.
But only two days til weekend then another few days and you will be off again.

redsquirrel80

Yeah just need a rest really!

Karmacat

Aw, squizz - it sounds very pants up there, sorry you're so low. Slugs! grrrr - get those egg shells onto the soil, big broken pieces. Hope you can fight off the cold.

redsquirrel80

Cold doesn't seem to be coming to much, I still feel very tired and grumpy though. Very stressy and on edge and just want to get through the day at work without getting bothered too much

I did have egg shells in those pots which made it even more annoying! I've managed to save one little broccoli plant which has been brought indoors for just now. We've ordered some nematodes but they don't get sent out until it's warm enough - hopefully that will be soon so slug wars can commence properly! Got a few radishes, spinach and chard sprouting up so don't want them to get eaten.

Mr S was trying to buy a new mobile phone last night - never seen anyone take so long looking at 3 or 4 cheap phones and then still not be able to make his mind up :rotfl:

On the money front, I've transferred a few bits into my overdraft account.

I've also spent:
£5 - CD
£2.70 - pair of tights
£8.62 - supermarket
£3.10 - lunch in canteen yesterday (good reason I don't do that very often :eek:)
