    Afternoon all!

    I too will add to the moaning/feeling fed up ....
    The day started well and then rapidly went downhill with a really niggly year 8 lesson - they just wouldn't shut up and a minority spoilt what would have been a good lesson with lots of nice activities for the rest. I hate lessons like that - puts you in a mood for the rest of the day.
    Have walked doggy to shop for bottle of wine and a big bag of crisps to console myself, marking tests so need fortification! (Bad teacher!!!:o)

    Anyway, I will/have..
    • Walked dog twice for free exercise-one more to go today
    • Took lunch to work
    • Cook tea from stores
    • Do some marking while OH watches football
    • Think of a new way to control unruly 12 year olds! Any advice is appreciated!
    • Phone mum with free landline
    • Have a relaxing bath later
    Have a good evening...

    La escocesa - do the cobbler places ever do special offers to get folks in during the summer?

    Ta for reminding me about the electric - sorry to hear you owe them.

    Ooh, good idea. Never thought about that but I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled.

    Never bothered to call electric in the end - saw that the 'end balance' was the meter reading I gave the new Co as my 'start balance' so definitely owe them. I guess it is under a tenner.

    Triangle - that's so frustrating about the 0% card. That was like me a few weeks ago. I was trying to be upbeat and convincing myself that it was more motivation to pay it off quickly if the interest was high but was seriously annoyed! Still need to call my current Co to see what their available promotional rates/life-of-balance rates are... Probably not the best but better than what I'm on and I'll give my credit score a bit of a break.
  • hi all,
    just checking in..

    Did my overtime tonight - boo -one more night of it then weekend off

    My heating / boiler has packed in. Boo again - not sorting it out today! will steal heat from my dogs - they will be only too pleased to help out.

    Did rubbish at lunch time and bought lunch from the shop... what can i say I was hungry and not prepared. what a waste of money.

    my brain hurts - i don't think i can think of anything i;ve done other than the overtime thats good.. but I'm here and i will do better tomorrow x

    sleep well peeps

    see you all tomorrow
    Baby due 4th May 2013
    January grocery challenge £200
  • no more spending - well done on the overtime - boo to carpy lunches - you've inspired me to get up tomorrow and boil some eggs and make sure I take sandwiches instead of rushing home to make something quickly.

    Just watched Julie and Julia - it was amazing and although we bought it full price today, its listed and already sold - go amazon!!!!
