  • Nowhere special - it's date night so OH and I are off to Pizza Hut - we're both skint and have a load of 50% vouchers, plus he loves it there - in the interests of diet though I'll be having the plain tomato pasta whilst he tucks into a large pepperoni cheesy bites pizza TO HIMSELF! I'm sure it'll show on him when he turns 40!

    Oh Tete, I've got a very sad little mental image of you and your tomato pasta :( Why are those pizzas so delicious even with all the grease floating on top of them?! It's just mean.

    - [STRIKE]Ciao review with pics[/STRIKE]
    - Text for sewing folder - Some :o
    - [STRIKE]Food Focus[/STRIKE]
    - Tidy up before going out tonight - Some :o

    Gah, even a four item list eludes me haha!

    Still have a bit of sewing folder to do and didn't really tidy up at all. Sewing class tonight too so won't have much time to do much this evening.

    - Finish off sewing folder (!)
    - Written work (!)
    - Ciao review with pics if the site ever loads
    - Food Focus
    - Package up Music Magpie CDs
    - Finish sorting stuff to go to Charity shop
    - Check under stairs for RiSi books!!!
    - Check ingredients for cake recipe
    - Make 3 birthday cards
    - Tidy up
    - Sort out handbag
    And...
    - Bed with book by 10pm! (which only gives me an hour and a half to do the last 5 items!)

    I've just been assessing my finances too. Payday is not until the 26th, £31 in the bank, of which £10 is allocated to petrol and the other £20 will have to be my weekend spends (hope OH is feeling generous!), and £15 in my purse, I need to buy about £7 worth of essentials today and then can hopefully last til Friday without spending the rest. Roll on Tuesday!

    Have you ever looked at www.readitswapit.co.uk ? You list all the books you've finished with and can request swaps from other people's lists, you just pay the postage - doesn't declutter but it's a cheap way of getting new books!

    I need to have a look at this, perhaps once I've decluttered, otherwise I'll get nowhere!

    How was pizza hut?

    EEK - just remembered this morning I realised I hadn't noticed my piles of books that I've got listed on there under the stairs recently - must double check tonight that Dad hasn't put them in the charity by mistake!

    How was pizza hut?

    Hehe, fab! Although they did try to charge us for four lots of drinks which bumped up our nice 50% price, but I soon put them right :D In fairness OH had about 4 refills of coke!!

    I hate it when people chuck stuff out by accident, or without checking first! My Mum is a right hoarder and never chucks stuff out. Yet she chucked out my hundreds of pokemon cards that would have done alright on ebay. I was gutted!

    Free refills are great! Did you have the pasta? I'd have given in and had pizza! :D

    That pizza won't taste as good as reaching your goal weight will.
