  • hello all

    nearly done for the day....its been a long one.

    Team meeting this morning (yawn and big sighs) which went better than expected but still boring. Tonight am going straight from work to meeting so can spend couple hours catching up, surfing before I go.

    - have NSD no 5
    - make a couple of short calls at work (I know v bad!!)
    - had brown banana and toast for lunch and have brought last night left overs for tea
    - work quite hard....friday, not on full throttle today
    - cut out 20 miles car journey by not going home for tea
    - eat lovely cake, equally lovely student brought in for us all!! :)

    And quite honestly, thats prob about it.

    Happy birthday jewellery fan!! Hope you have a great day

    Hi everyone - I have had a lovely time hitting the sales today. All on my own. I had forgotten how much fun shopping can be when you aren't trying to keep an eye on the kids - and the joy of trying things on without the fear of a small boy flinging the curtain open for all to see!:D

    Anyway, I must own up to not being very DFW at all cos I spent about £50 but I was a very discerning shopper and all my 'bargains' really are bargains that I am thrilled with.

    I hit paydirt in H&M - I got T 2 pairs of jeans and 5 t-shirts for £11!:j
    Also I:
    1) Got the bus into town as it is cheaper than parking. (Only 1.80 return)
    2) Entered CokeZone points
    3) Paid in cheques
    4) Checked bank, quidco, did SC
    5) Dinner from stores. ( Must confess to a cheeky sub for lunch)
    6) Exchanged some library books

    Have a very happy birthday Jewelleryfan :bdaycake:- have fun tonight and if you can't be good be careful!

    Night all, L x
  • Evening all

    Not much from me today: -
    • Online banking checked and all still well - looks healthy for mid-month
    • Survey completed for ShopnScan for 500 extra points
    • Lunch taken to work so that's 5/5 for this week :D
    • Planned NSD completed and that's me 9/20 :T
    Have a nice evening all and enjoy the weekend.
