    Well, one day closer to Friday, just want tomorrow over so I can enjoy the weekend.

    Managed to pad a good amount today to the ccs (£21) from free scratchcard money and the £10 OH won on Jackpot Joy's free fishing game. Plus got £2 from my free clicks through and that's going to my Flooring fund.

    OH has got the cold and is feeling sorry for himself - there are quite a lot of pathetic sniffles and puppy dog eyes. :rotfl:

    We are going to get the £10 M&S meal deal tomorrow just cos it's Friday. I miss my staff discount - could get the deal for £8!

    Still not done any reviews or job hunting but did confirm attendance at the admin bank interview which is 2 weeks away. So feeling a bit better about that although still not sure if it's worth taking (if I get through the interview ofc).

    Also need to start doing some Pilates again as I find it's quite relaxing and good for my back and my dodgy knee. Got to get over this laziness slump I'm in just now but just have no energy. :(

    Well not much to report really - work was quieter but still a bit rubbish really. So tired and looking forward to my M&S dinner and a hot bath. :beer:

    Got a couple of requests for books I have on Bookmooch so really need to get round to sorting those out and getting them sent off. Also have loads of points on there but don't know what books to use them for. :confused: It's quite hard to search for books and have a browse on the Bookmooch site.

    OH got a cheque through from a panel he is a member of for £36 today so hoping he will pay it off his Capital One card. He has been quite good at paying extra money off it since they raised the interest rate to nearly 40%. :eek:

    My M&S dinner was rather nice but I'm feeling a bit tipsy from the wine. :o

    We watched Shallow Grave as I Sky+ it the other night when it was on Film Four. I really enjoyed it, was quite funny in a sick way. :rotfl:

    Ok alcohol is affecting typing so better stop now. :rolleyes:

    The wine from last night has given me a headache and made me remember why I don't drink it much. :o I only had two glasses, I am a lightweight. :eek: :rotfl:

    So tired with a bit of a headache and OH is in a mood cos I'm "grumpy" - well stop annoying me when I have a headache then! :rolleyes:

    We really need to go and get some food shopping done but can't be bothered moving - this seems to be a recurring theme on my diary. :o I will write a new review for Ciao this weekend, got £4 from December's premium fund so quite pleased with that.

    Just a quick update to announce that I actually wrote a new review for Ciao today. :j Also put a previously written one on Dooyoo, so will need to spend some time reading and returning rates later.

    Ok, starving so running off to find out what's for dinner - have chained grumpy OH in kitchen to cook. :p

    :rotfl:Yes that's true Wesker - my three cats are now all piled on my knee, mostly on top of each other - how can that be comfy? :confused:

    My young male cat came and kept me company this morning when my headache was quite bad - he is the sookiest cat out of them all. :D

    Well some people are strange... got a message on Dooyoo about one of my reviews about how I kept switching between past and present tense and how book reviews should be written in present tense. :confused::rotfl: It read ok to me!

    Proud of myself as have sorted the Bookmooch books to be posted and listed a couple more. Have sorted out the books that have been on Greenmetropolis forever, not shifting on Bookmooch or are too big to post. Now have two bags full for the charity shops.

    Have stripped the bed so need to put on a washing, put away the clean washing and do the dishes. Might think about cleaning the bathroom, OH is currently hoovering around me while the cats hide. Also need to go shopping for food and do the recycling today - oh joy. :rolleyes:

    OH is being very organised but only because his friend is coming over later! Said friend will give me a free haircut though so we are paying him with his dinner. :T

    Forgot to mention earlier that OH won another £17 on Jackpot Joy's free fishing game today. :T He withdrew £12 and I let him gamble the rest on the condition the £12 is going off his cc. :rolleyes:

    Hair has now been cut and looking much better, got most of the housework and shopping done today except the bathroom.

    OH needs to get a passport photo for his new driving licence as the picture one expires after 10 years. He needs to get a new one and pay the DVLA £20 :eek: for the pleasure of doing so. :mad: Plus they are so strict about the pic and he will need to pay to get that done too, grr.

    Really wish I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow :( but only this week and three days next week then I'm on annual leave for a few days. :j Off for OH's birthday, haven't bought anything yet as am totally skint. Also going to Edinburgh for a lunch date with my old uni friend on Sat, so looking forward to that.

    My spare room still looks like a bomb site - why do I have so much rubbish? And why does it breed when I've cleaned the room out? I've gutted this room several times but it just fills back up with junk!
