Bagpuss741

Today I have/will

1. Checked online banking
2. NSD
3. Walked dog locally
4. Print out CV
5. Play free scratchcard

Can you guys help me with wording a letter please? I writing to see if there are any jobs in a local store but as I have not worked since 1993 due to illness I'm scared they will just look at my CV and chuck it in the bin:o I've so far got "As you will see from the enclosed CV I have not worked since 1993 due to illness but would like to take this opportunity to reassure you"..... (and that's where I get stuck:o) I basically want to say that I've pretty much beaten my Epstein barre but am not sure how to word it.

Morning All,

Just a short list for me today - I am feeling really [STRIKE]lazy[/STRIKE] chilled out. So today I have/will:
- check online banking
- meals from storecupboards
- spend 10 minutes meditating and visulaising myself seeing a lower number on the scales
- put a jumper on as I seem to be the only one who is a bit cold :eek:
- might have a wander into town or I could stay in and not spend any money
- make sure that I have everything I need for work tomorrow....must take out bread for my sandwich
- dilute the soup that I made yesterday for lunch
- keep up the diet....day 2 of the rest of my life, but if it means I can be a mum then it is worth it
- make breakfast for tomorrow...I am going for a blood test and I can not have any breakfast in the morning
- continue to watch The Take which we recorded off sky ages ago and have just got round to watching it

Think that is about it, take care everyone

Frugal pressie was well received by friend and in the spirit of frugality she even recycled the newspaper to stuff toilet rolls for firelighters :rotfl:
