Have to take Piglet to Speech Therapist this morning (I swear she thinks he's really behind with speaking as he refuses to speak in front of her but has improved vastly at home!:mad:).

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I remember when the health visitor was worried about my Piglet (now 26 and a teacher), who was virtually born speaking (or rather shouting) - when thought she was 'quiet' and was concerned about her (lack of) speech.

Piglet was terrified of her and would run away screaming when she approached her at clinic with a book. All the other mums would laugh because they knew that Piglet never usually stopped talking / shouting (no volume control).

Today I have done -

1) Took packed lunch to work
2) Daily clicks & scratchies
3) Jointed a chicken and planned my meals for the next few nights (normally buy pre-packed breasts when i'm cooking for one but recently learnt how many meals a whole chicken can make
4) Needed some winter work clothes so got 2 jumpers and a jacket from a charity shop for a tenner im slowly realising that there is actually some really nice stuff in these shops

Well, just got in from work and cooked tea, taken dogs out, phew! So not much else is getting done now (again)

Katie - sorry to hear about the break in. Hope the insurance pays out ok.

Fay - good luck with storecupboard challenge. I am doing the same. Think of the money you will save, and the extra you can throw at Evil Edna :j

Savingfora rainy day - it is not you who is the problem with the wireless network - it is definitely the instructions. Trust me, I have a PhD in such teccie related stuff - but won't bore you with the details!

Linz - impressed with your chicken jointing skills - when I try it it looks like a traffic accident. I tend to cook it whole and use from there.

Yes well i'm still a bit slow, but practise will hopefully make perfect I like to freeze the breasts and start by making a stew with the other bits and stock from the bones. Am turning into my mum :rolleyes: but its all good

Hi All - some stuff for me today:
- checked banking - same old £119 overdrawn
- scratchies and clicks 25p + 10p
- no heating on
- meals from whatever I can find lurking
- low spend day (£3.69 on cat food as per my diary entry from last night - just ekeing out the £40)
- washing done on low temp and drying on airers
- colleague gave me some more freebie fag papers
- worked on some 'work' this evening
- hoovered downstairs and did a huge mound of dishes when came in from work
- did some O**poll surveys - a whole 20p
- redeemed £1 to Paypal from Li**tspeed
- sold 2 tiny items on Fleabay (only 99p each - but better than nothing)
- checked for freebies

Erm.... I think that's it for me.
Off to get something random to eat.

• [STRIKE] Phone the police again and get a crime number
• Phone home insurance to see if I am covered
• Breakfast and lunch from stores
• Prawn curry for tea made from freezer/cupboard ingredients
• NSD[/STRIKE]
• No heating on
• Washing on when I get home - hopefully it will be a nice enough day tomorrow to hang it out.

Spoke to home insurance people and they told me that apparently bikes are not covered by contents insurance - you have to have personal belongings insurance as well. I've never even heard of that. I'm absolutely gutted, couldn't face going back there today.

On a more positive note, I've just finished a job application for a job my dad spotted in the paper. Could be a really big opportunity so fingers crossed!

Hope everyone has had a good day xx

Fay - have you posted your PPI letter????????

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I did quickly - 2nd class stamp and now am worried they will take away my CC - feel like I have been really naughty asking for them back.

Thank you for caring enough to ask, normally letters sit in my bag for 200 years. But like you I hoped someone would remind me to get it in the post box!!

Woke up in middle of night, can't sleep! Lol went to bed early cream crackered - that teach me.

I nearly started the 'small things thread for Thursday' but at 3.06 I fear its a bit early even for some of you lot!!!!

Off to have a read of a book to see if I can go back to sleep:rotfl:
