    Hello missymoo81. You're so organised. Something that the snow has taught me is to use the stuff I have in the cupboard/fridge/freezer before I buy more. Found a not great chocolate muffin in the freezer and it will satisfy my 'I need some cake craving.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Some guy on Radio Fivelive said 'Money doesn't grow on trees':rotfl::rotfl:Might have been Nick Clegg not sure.

    I've joined the 'no more toiletries..' thread. I've got so much stuff mainly hand creams and body lotions/butters. I know it's mad. But I'm gonna save so much money by not buying anything until I've finished most of it in 2012 after the Olympics.:j:j
    I went away and now I'm back.:j:j

  • Wow, i didn't know you were getting married, maybe i missed that bit, and getting married in the Maldives, very very nice. Are your family and friends going out with you?

    £12 for a bread tin, haha, drunken ordering is so funny. I now know why i don't take my laptop when drunk, not so i don't drop it, but because i may have a spending spree.

    Did i miss something about you trying for a baby too, how lovely. You have so much to look forward too, getting married and a baby soon hopefully, good luck hun.

    Hi there,
    Just read all of this diary....you sound very motivated and organised right now - am very impressed with all the decluttering going on;)

    I must confess to drunken purchases on the computer too....I went on my work Xmas do, came home and bought a Lady Gaga cd....cos we'd danced to her song:rolleyes::rolleyes: (not actually listened to the cd yet, it came before XMas! My daughters were quite pleased tho:p)

    I'm studying too - I'm a teaching assistant and now doing a foundation degree in Education Studies....but I#m hopeless with motivation to work, I waste days on the internet (mostly on here;)). I have 2 weeks off work right now as not well, but really should do some uni work.

    Anyway.....*tootles off to subscribe to fun-sounding new diary*...:rotfl:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
