    Right now I know how to post links I've just got to share this with you!
    Even if you don't like football it's only 30 seconds...just watch it :D:D It's the goal from last seasons FA cup game where we played Middlesborough.We got beat 2-1 but to score was all we could hope for. I'm hoping for a bit of the same against Sunderland tomorrow. Me and my Dad were up till 2:30am watching clips and getting all excited. It's good to have someone to share the excitement with as I've spent the last week with my sister and everytime I've mentioned it to her it's like talking to a brick wall :mad:

    Thought I'd do a quick post before I get myself to bed.

    I totally don't understand all the different amounts on Quico so I've changed my settings so I get paid monthly whatever amount I'm due. I did have it set up so I didn't have a payout until I reached £10 but I don't think I'm ever going to reach that so thought I might aswell have the smaller amount and it can go off my CC. So I'm just going to put the amounts for that and TCB in my sig once I've actually recieved them in my account.

    Gwen... I just noticed I said I got 80p a day from bingo. I meant 80p a week sorry :o God I wish it was 80p a day!!

    I've had a good time at my Dad's but am looking forward to going home tomorrow. Firstly because he smokes in the kitchen when I'm in there :mad: I've asked him to go outside and he did at first but he's wormed his way back in. I know it's his house but it still p!sses me off, it goes right down my throat. I'm also looking forward to going back to my own bed, not been sleeping properly here and I don't know why coz I can normally sleep anywhere, I think it could be too warm. Also it's driving me mad the way they waste electricity... the heating is on 24hrs a day :eek: It's flippin roasting. Also the computer has been on the whole time we've been here and nobody has been on it, I asked my Dad's gf is anyone uses it, she said no. I asked why it was switched on and she just said 'it always is' :confused: Their house is done up like santa's grotto! There's 6 plugs just for the outside lights! Great for the kids though. I think that might be about it for the moaning.
    A good thing is we were talking about their wedding yesterday...and it looks like they're not getting married in May as they can't afford it. And that was trying to do it on the cheap. I'm gutted for them but I think they're right to wait. Plus my Dad's gf isn't well at the moment and I think it's better they wait till she's right as she has good and bad days and I'd hate for her to be ill on her big day. Of course I'm also pleased it means that's one expense less for me this year which is a bit of a relief to be honest.
    I'm alot less stressed bout my expensive year as I had 3 weddings but now only 1 :j And the only one I do have, the Hen night is looking to be quite reasonable as we're staying at the brides home for the weekend so no expense for accommodation :j

    My Daughters DS broke the other day (i'm hoping thats the end of it after washing machine, hair straightners,mobile) and I told her I'd buy her a new one as she got loads of new games for xmas. I was just going to get a pre owned one but then my Dad's gf has given hers :A I said no at first but she insisted, they have 3 in their house and the kids have an ipod touch each so don't use their ds anymore hardly.

    I'm shattered now,enough moaning from me..... n'night

    WARNING...self pitying moan coming up!

    How bl00dy brilliant that the 1st of the month is a Monday. Sounds like a good excuse for me to seriously start a diet!! I am now the heaviest I've been in about 4 years and I feel really horrible about myself which is just not good. So I am on a mission to lose 2 stone. Seriously seriously lose 2 stone. No messing about! I've been wanting to lose weight for ages but stepping on the scales the other day scared the carp out of me.
    So I have a weekend of no work or commitments so I'm going to spend the weekend getting on top of the house work again (how quickly it spirals out of control if you take a day or two off!). I need to get the bedtime routine back in order because it made a HUGE difference to how I felt and my energy levels.

    So a list for the weekend. If I put it down here I think I have alot more chance of getting it all done coz I'm a sucker for crossing things off

    Wash/dry/iron everything that needs doing
    Change beds
    Take back DD's skirt to M&S
    Order t.shirts for holiday
    Hoover whole house
    Mop bathroom/kitchen/hallway
    Tidy DD's bedroom
    Do a meal plan
    Do shopping for meal plan
    Scratchcards
    Do dinner for nic and kids
    Early night Sat & Sun
    SOA
    Update sig.

    That should be enough to keep me out of trouble :)

    I know this is a money saving site but all I can think about at the moment is my weight. I've always been big but I'm at the stage where I feel like a big fat minging disgusting beast. And well, that's just NOT good enough, I am F-Fabulous, all I need to do now is start feeling like it :mad:

    Update sig.

    I've not got everything done but I feel like I've got somewhere! I shall spend until Wed getting everything on the list finished and then I'm off work for a week and will go shopping for the bits I need for my hols :D

    I am totally made up, I had an email off Quidco to say a payment had been sent, I didn't know I was due anything and thought I hope they don't send an email every month regardless and it'll say my amount is £0.00p but it wasn't, I have been sent £6 something :j:j- Totally unexpected !!!

    Really need to do my SOA and update my sig but if I do it now I'll end up staying up too late so will do it tomorrow.

    N'night
