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!0 -

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.

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!
