    1 bit of unexpected good news. Just rang to cancel Working Tax credits and they are sending me £200 as they give it for 4 months after cease working!

    Oh bookie - completely understand the paperwork. I started clearing teaching stuff yesterday - riffled through 6 piles of stuff then moved them from the desk to the floor (ha my desk is clear :p) then I looked round and decided I was going out instead. Think the filing bin strategy comes next :rolleyes:

    :T for the windfall :T

    I'm listening to the cricket :eek: Cricket is boring. Everyone knows that. Should I be worried?!?

    Ohhh bookie - that's good news!

    Red - pm sent your way. :D

    I've got my new glasses.....I'm all wibbly eyed....it's like feeling squiffy without the wine.

    Pooky the thing with new specs is not to wear them straight away but to put them on as soon as you get out of bed in the morning that way you won't be so wibbly wobbly.

    Mine still havent arrived at the eye hospital so I still can't drive:mad: Hopefully they will arrive on Monday.

    That makes sense...I don't think I've ever had such a drastic change in one eye before - it's quite disconcerting.

    Bookie - I'd take a flask and some sarnies and go camp out in your branch on Monday until someone speaks to you.

    Aaargh, I really, really fancy takeaway, I know I need to be strong, especially since I've had a bad sleepy day, it'll just go straight on the hips (and backside, and stomach, and thighs...).
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Can you have healthier options Ames? Then you get the treat with less calories.

    I'm going out later but really I want my bed, so sleepy.
