    Never done them before so today is my first time, apparently !!!!! them and wrap them in foil and put on low for 8 hrs or high for 3 hrs, apparently you MUST NOT add water!

    Hi Fayjmck, I sometimes get a little homesick pang when I see your Scotland updates. Mum was telling me about the snow they've got near Glasgow. Can imagine Orkney will have a lot more! Stay warm and safe.

    Happy Birthday Millie! :beer:

    I'm not having a very good MSE day (out tonight and probably going to miss yoga that I've already paid for...) but I'll still manage a no spend day at work and will walk when we go out tonight instead of getting a taxi.

    Happy Thursday everyone!
  • Hi All

    Happy Birthday Milly!

    For me today:
    • Open savings account for first home buyers - good interest rate
    • Scratchies
    • Check banking, quidco, phone bill

    Hi all - hope you are having a lovely bday today Milly!_party__party_ Why not be a devil and have the heating on tonight?:)

    Hope you are enjoying snow day Fay, although maybe they are a pain in the bum for you. We get snow so rarely here it is a massive novelty, I can't imagine it being a regular thing. It has done nothing but rain here for the last few days.

    Well done on your debt clearings hampsterpoo and irishmist - wow!

    Payday today so I:
    1) Paid my overtime wages straight off a CC.
    2) Heard that the violin book I bought off Green Metroplis had already been sold. :mad: Then bought it off ebay for less money. :jHa! In your face naughty Green Metropolis seller!!
    3)Went to work and took a packed lunch.
    4) Won 50p on SC.
    5) Bought a book for OH's bday on the Watersones site. Went through quidco, used a 10% off code, free delivery and used up a gift card from Christmas 08!
    6) Heard I have an interview for a job I have applied for. :eek:
    7) Entered Cokezone points and got a free mag voucher.
    8) Renewed library books.

    Have a gay evening! L x
