Do you find it easier to fit the exercise in now you don't have to go to the gym to do it?
I was thinking about the PADs too, I guess they wouldn't count against NSDs?Proud to be dealing with my debts - LBM Mar 2010

Afternoon ladies
Moose, I def find it easier to do exercise not joined to the gym - not so much about fitting it in but i'm a BIG lover of the outdoors be it climbing, walking....you name it, any excuse to be outdoors so think perhaps this suits me better. I find running is my thinking/destressing time - needed it last night as had a friend request on facebook from an ex ( I care not to remember) who owed me and still does £1000's.......tell you what i've never ran so hard :mad::mad::mad:
Kel - i'd say if you can pay it to debts directly, even if only 1p - know it sounds silly but if it's paid then it's going off the debt and no chance of using it for something else. Plus it costs them money (I think?) to process all the transactions, about time these banks paid for something!!!

Fancied a bit of girly pink today
Firstly another NSD again yesterday :j
Secondly.....OMG where has this week gone!!!!! Can't beleive it's Friday and i've SO much to do. Thankfully another day working from home but that's to work as so much to get done :eek: The flat is a mess, OH and I have been like ships passing in the night and nothing has been done. We literally have no food, no washing powder, no toilet rolls apart from those in bathrooms. Went to make a cuppa this morning and we have no teabags or coffee....think i've taken the money saving business too far :rotfl:thank goodness I am a bit of a freebies fan (always on teh freebies board) and had a free sample of various tetley tea bags stashed away, although it was there extra strong bags.....yuck!!! I like my tea weak, just wave the bag about for second for a bit of a taste and that's it.
Anyhow, I really do need to get on top of things. Have a list as long as my arm to get done but first thing is work - think my work tray has had babies over night :eek:
I hate feeling unorganised, doesn't make me feel good and i've said I will work overtime both Sat and Sun - help!
Have a lovely Friday all xx0 -
Good morning choc,
Liking the pinkness :j
*sends choc some toilet roll* we bulk bought last week and ended up with 36 :rotfl:
You really should be making your work tray use contraception if they're going to have so many babies
have a great Friday! xProud to be dealing with my debts - LBM Mar 2010

Morning choc!
I hope you are having a productive day! I am sooo swamped at work with all the time off i have had. Trouble is no one does my stuff while i am away really..other than answering phones! So if i have time off just seems i have to work twice as hard when i am back! :mad:
Loving the pink writing!
I have really weak tea too...started sharing a teabag between OH and I - seems a waste otherwise!
Woohoo on the NSD - i have 2 more to do and i am sure today will be one!Orange Fairy

Writing in blue as that is the mood I am feeling.......day is getting worse as it goes by. Trying to get things done with my own work tray and then this that and the other comes in urgent and then supervisior asks me to do something, then another supervisor from different team asking to do something - none of which are actually mine to do!!! On top of that I have had some jumped up solicitor (no offence if anyone is a solicitor!) trying to tell me how to do my job........wouldn't mind if he was actually right in what he was saying and didn't have to point him in the right direction of which legislation the conversation was about :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:......he soon became very meek and quiet :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
It's nearly three and i've got nothing done.....feel like i'm just about ready to explode :eek:0 -
:hello: I hope you are feeling a bit better now Choc! I was so glad to lock the door and leave work today. I think a busy monday and then i will be back on track!
Horrible when you are being pulled in different directions by everyone else!
I hope you get home and are able to relax. big hugs for your horrid day xx

Hi Choc, sorry you've had a rough day. Hope you are chillin out now. Have a good weekend (despite the overtime). Pen xThis time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
Fingers crossed x0 -
Morning all!
Hope everyone is well and enjoying a morning of glorious sunshineFeeling a tad better today after yesterdays chaos - grrr! Working overtime at the minute and these are relaxed days as left to get on with it, no hassle. Would rather be planning a day out somewhere but needs must I guess
I have Monday off so it'll be nice and going out with girly friends as bday celebrations - afternoon tea at very nice hotel in New Forest, can't wait :j
OH and I went shopping - spent far more than I would have liked to and annoyed with myself as was in one of those 'yeah whatever' moods after yesterday :mad: That said, we did literally have nothing in the flat and did some bulk buying on a lot of things and did buy enough to batch cook chicken curry, chilli and lasagne - we're hoping that we shouldn't need to top up for a couple of weeks now. We shall see, just annoyed with myself as it was a rush job in between going to OH's parents for dinner and in a supermarket that i've never used so again alien to me if that makes sense. Ah well!
On plus note had another £2 coin from OH -- was in his change from lottery ticket last night......it's going to be the winning ticket!!!!!!!!!!!! :rotfl:Will update sig later.
Nothing else to report, supposed to be going to friends for dinner but am seeing her Monday so may save money/petrol costs and just leave it until they as could get costly - also went to bed with toothache and still niggling now so don't think i'll be best company!
Have a good day xx0 -
Thank goodness for pain killers, the toothache is easing and i'm starting to feel slightly normal again. Fingers crossed it doesn't come back :sad:
Writing in pink to try and lift my mood, seems i've hit a brick wall these past 24 hours :wall:and it's dampened my spirits somewhat. Think it's because been so busy, worked I don't know how many days on trot as has OH, flat is a mess, dissapointed on my shopping trip last night as was so organised and so on and so on.....that said, today is a new day and Choc is going to make sure it's positive from now on.....first positive thing is I can actually feel my mouth/jaw normally now without pain....perhaps i'll go and give OH a nice kiss :kisses2: Poor love got the tail end of my horrible day yesterday and toothache - bet he wishes he'd stayed at home :rotfl:
Have decided to go to friends for dinner tonight, it's cheap way of socialising and she's cooking us healthy tea. OH has been using my car this week and left over half tank of petrol in it for me - bless him. Think I :heart2: him - get me all soppy....thats what you get for not seeing each other all the time
