    I have managed to get every present except one bought:j:j:jHopefully they will all have arrived by the weekend so I can get everything wrapped. Am not very impressed by the amount I have earned from quidco for Christmas shopping- about £3:rolleyes: but have saved quite a bit from using codes and vouchers and got myself some nice freebies along the way:D.

    Gwen, sorry you had a rubbish day. icon9.gif Hope you have managed to put your feet up and got the jaffa cakes out.

    Gwen that is really annoying :mad: on your behalf- as FF said, Jaffa cakes low fat and full of Vit C which is essential in this winter weather.

    Sarah - well done on shopping, i'm almost there. Need to review list but pretty happy with shopping so far. And using codes and things for discounts is as good as Quidco! :beer:

    TDQO - stop looking up youtube videos and write the essay - the sooner it is written the sooner you can get to the pub for a nice glass of mulled wine:beer:

    Am procrastinating like crazy myself though :o have friend staying tomorrow night and place is a tip! :eek: Going to put on some ace tunes and set to it now!!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Jaffa cakes eaten :D Feel a little better. I wouldn't mind so much if it was a one off, but this person regularly comes into work in an absolutely foul mood and I feel like I have to tip-toe around them or risk getting my head bitten off which happened several times today and to be honest, I'm getting a little sick of it. Oh well...:rolleyes:

    Well done on the amazon vouchers, makeup!! Awesome :)

    Everybody's doing well with their Christmas shopping. I am totally disorganised :o

    Aswell as being horrible at the moment, work is crazy, too busy. I want to wind down for Christmas, but there's fat chance.

    Well done for being strong Sarahb. That's much better. Agree with Lula though, please put the rest in your ISA... Sorry, but we're just looking out for you.

    TDQ - Get on with your work! :D

    Gwenx

    Lula speaks sense :D

    wow, that's a first then :rotfl:

    My assignment really isn't going well, does anyone on here enjoy modelling underground excavations in heterogenous rock masses?


    Uncanny, it's my favourite thing, after drinking G&T & trying out new dark mars bars - yum yum to both :D

    Fab vid by the way :T, I probably shouldnt confess to this here but ... I have watched every single episode of Tour of Duty :o


    Hello & welcome to the craziness lincs2505 :hello: .

    Gwen - sorry to hear you had rubbish day at work, ugh to jaffa cakes though, nasty vile soggy biscuit-like things with a smear of orange marmalade & the meanest streak of chocolate coating ever. cant abide the things. Break out the chow mein supernoodles instead :D.

    Carolem - wish I did look like arty teacher , since getting fat I have worn mostly black, more akin to tubby chimney sweep methinks :o

  • thanks for welcoming me, now can i ask a really stupid question but how can i post and use smilies without having to use the quick reply button. hope that makes sense ps 2nd wine free day trying to save myself until friday night when i have the house to myself while parents go out to my dads christmas party, is that pink elephant wine still about? x
