    Had a pants day ysterday and didn't wanna depress everyone so didn't come on here to post - sorry chicks...
    I didn't leave work till well gone 6:30 :eek: and basically had a mare of a day because it turns out reports we've been presenting to customers only measures about 10% of their data because if all the data we need from BT isn't there then we exclude it from our report... So I seriously felt like giving up yesterday...

    So not having a great time - haven't had time to organise listing anything but might try to leave early tonight and do it when I get home :)

    Hope everyone has a good one today and don't get too stressed!!! :)

    Right well I WILL find something positive about today! Hmmm ok in a week or so I swap to Tiscali BB! Why you might ask? Well because shhhh I work for them and I get unlimited BB and phone calls etc free!!!! If I was in the catchment area for TV I'd get that free too! :)
    Oh well that's about £20ish if not more a month that I'll be saving! :) £240 per year...
    That's gotta be good right? :)

    Ofcourse at the moment who knows how long I'll be here as the company is up for sale and we might soon be Vodafone!

    Tonight OH will be going to the driving range so I will try to get loads of stuff listed on Fleabay as it's 5p listing day...

    One more day till the weekend! :)

    awww hun, thats a really good positive - £240 is a decent saving, and all those free calls!

    You get ebaying, get that clutter turned into cash. And don't forget it's free bingo on gala tonight!

    Go on and have a better day. You're saving money, getting a clearer house and work doesn't matter after 5pm. Have a cup of tea and relax.

    And if that doesn't work - at least you're not Jordan 'take me seriously until I want you to ogle my fun-bags' price.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Tea? TEA? HA! Glass of rose in one hand - typing might be slow ;)
    So... how does that free Gala bingo stuff thingy work then?
    Do I just sign up and play and win millions? :)
    And no I'm not Jordan :) Infact if you judge by her underwear range at Asda then I have larger boobies than her as they don't go up to my size so nah nah nah to her ;)
    32GG/H in case you wondered - can you imagine what will happen to them when we have our first young'un???? Not likely to starve at least.. ;)

    Hah! Would love a glass of wine, but am going off my usual red, plus he's working late tonight and I don't drink when I'm home alone with the kids. So instead I have jasmine tea in a mug shaped like a meerkat, and a bowl of cheese salad....yum.....<<<<< spot the 'panic! 20 odd days til I squeeze into a very unforgiving dress must eat lettuce in vast quantites and lumber around to 'the Hot Pants Workout every night'.

    Actually, have just received the pics from my dress fitting. They reside in a photobucket thingy now, if you must, click http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk29/oberonk/. I look a little bit foxy, even if I do say so myself!! Now just need the actual dress.......

    Jordan is an overpaid, overboobied pout-trout with a massive ego and I suspect 'issues' i.e stark staring bonkers. If I see her orange and frankly disturbing face leering out at me from yet another magazine with a headline like 'My shocking broad bean fantasy!!' I will find her and smack the collogen/botox/saline filled sacs out of her. If my child was so desperately ill (which according to hello, okay and a million other glossy rags, he's practically at death's door) I would not be galivanting all over the place and putting my name on anything people shoved at me. I'd be at home, making the most of the time we had together. I dislike the woman (if indeed she is a woman - she reminds me of a drag queen who tries too hard). Not sure if you can tell :)

    Oh, and with gala I think you have to deposit £5, but there's loads of cashback sites giving you free credit if you deposit this amount, so if you go for it, don;t forget to go through quidco/cashbackcascade etc. Not all the games are free, just 2-3 an hour in certain rooms.

    You're starting to scare me! Did you see the pics of my dress?
    Not the same dress but there are destinct similarities! If you'd been blonde I've have been wanting some DNA tests missy!
    Off to trawl for the free bingo through quidco stuffy things... also seriously thinking of taking up crochet again... very therapeutic! Although really should finish the handbag I made last year - I need to finish the inside of it somehow... looks wicked but not sure if I'd every use it - it might become a present...

    btw for dress piccies sneak a peek here: http://www.photoinspirations.co.uk/

    You look fabulous dahlink!! :T :T

    You look nothing like I pictured you (you're much foxier ;)), and you look so happy and serene in the 3rd photo. I'm sure you will have a perfect day and the new Mr Obi will be bursting with pride when he sees how lovely you look in your dress.

    LOL, cheers love - if Mr Obi doesn't fall flat on his face, and beg, then it's going back lol. I look happy because at this point the Mother In Law had yet to barge in like Coleen at a shoe sale.

    Talking of which, she got wed today - £5 million quid!!! Imaganie what we could all do with £5 million....
