Thank you fayjmck.
I found the toothbrushes heads so all good!0 -
Thanks fayjmck - not many jobs out there and nothing new today
No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:
Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T0 -
Hi everyone, quiet in here innit? I have had a surprise today. My lovely OH has presented me with a pair of tickets to see Dave Gorman in a couple of weeks.
I couldn't justify the expense, but I really wanted to see him as I had a ticket for his last tour but gave it away because I was poorly. But my OH bought a pair cheaply off e-bay, so Cinderella shall go to the ball after all!:rotfl:
Today I:
1) Went to work
2) Not a LSD as I had to fill the car with fuel but that was budgeted for.
3) Played around with the snowball calculator working out where best to throw my payments.
4) I managed to book a £29 Premier Inn room as per Martin's e-mail. I got a family room for June when we will be taking B and T to Legoland (using our Merlin passes!) and Windsor Castle for their birthday treats. :jIt may not be super posh but far nicer than our usual Travelodge. Best of all, I don't have to pay until we check-in.
5) Packed lunches and all meals from stores.
6) Checked banking, quidco, and did SC.
7) Hokey cokey
8) I will bake some biccies while dinner is cooking.
Right, off to cook dinner. Have a good evening, L x0 -

nothing major but a first for me all the same. I was feeling a bit down in the dumps and managed to steer myself away from Waterstones wanting a treat.
At work there was a charity book stall and normally I wouldnt give it a second thought. However all the books were £1 and I saw a copy of the Horse Whisperer- I loved the film and fancied reading it so bought it
I have also planned out how/when I will pay for all my various bathroom bits and worked out that I can claim a tax refund on 5 years worth of professional subscriptions
result! :T 0 -
