    Hi guys - how's it hanging? ( Does anyone say that anymore ?)

    Today I:
    1) Went to work
    2) Made some purchases through Quidco that I will get reimbursed for
    3)Received a lovely Fatface tunic off ebay that was £1.04 plus p&p
    4) Checked for new jobs
    5) Checked banking and moved money to my CC to pay for an Approved Food order.
    6) SC x 10p
    7) Hokey cokey on quickwash
    8) Downloaded a Toby Carvery voucher - 2 courses for £5. I am taking my Mum there tonight for a cheap meal out. Bizarrely, the carvery has really nice vegetarian options!

    Hope you poorlies are keeping warm. I've just got over my virus thing and now I feel as though I have a cold coming, bleeurgh!

    See you tomorrow, L x
  • v excited....my course cancelled tonight so dont have to buy the tea and I can have an early night :):) Will also save a bit petrol and can watch the dvd I hired the other night :) (The ugly truth & the invention of lying)

    washed on low/ dried on airer
    opened building society account for LO so we can keep her money seperate.

    Not sure about that Lurleene! Especially after watching 'Embarassing Bodies' last night:rotfl:

    Well done Jonno - keep it going as long as you can, it's cheaper, easier and a lovely way to be close to your baby. I almost miss those middle of the night sessions ( almost...!)

    I can't quite get the hang of these mulitple quotes either :(
    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.

    Afternoon all!
    Quite worn out this week - I think its the shock to the system of getting up at 6am again - not pleasant!

    Anyway, my little list..
    • Walk dog (down to one again now, puppy has gone home) for free exercise
    • Took lunch to work
    • Had breakfast before I left
    • Will make storecupboard tea
    • Check banks
    • Email uni school timetable
    • Stay in and watch the soaps
    • Almost had a NSD but am yearning for a glass of wine to end my week (no school tomorrow) - I managed the whole of Jan on a detox so think that a little glass or two won't hurt!:p
    • Received job application form - will attempt to fill it in tomorrow
    • Write a shopping list and meal plan for Saturday shopping
    That's it for today - off to the Off Licence!

    We did that last weekend and it was great - the dessert is ice cream with a choice of sauce. With a couple of drinks each it came to £16 for both of us (DH and I!)
