    OMG....I have such a hangover :p

    Had me a lovely night out with the girls, was great to let my hair down and just enjoy a night of fun. Ended up in club and having a good dance :D

    Back to reality now though but can't seem to get any energy to do anything, lost cause today :rolleyes: xxxx

    Morning,

    Hope everyone is well and enjoyed the weekend. Can't believe it is Monday already!

    Well officially on my last day of being 30.....turning 31 tomorrow :eek: Have the day booked off work, have a nice lay in and then will potter down to the shops for the morning and then spending PM with OH, hopefully we'll do something nice together.

    So today I have done my daily scratchies, nothing much more than that. Obviously working so that takes priority. Plans for rest of the day is to go for a run (10 mile race on Sun :eek:) and clean/sort flat. Need to do a bit of food shopping, nothing in. Only bonus of all this with OH is that I have such a reduced appitite that don't need to worry about dieting etc at mo, just a case of making sure when I do it that it is the right thing ;) Really enjoying my exercise at mo too so toning up nicely along the way :D

    Back on the overtime wagon, did some at the weekend and now need to start working towards Dec overtime as it'll be xmas.....can't beleive I even said that word!

    Anyhow, have a lovely day all. Speak soon,
