    Evening ladies :D

    Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Must say i've had a fab and relaxing one - it's been bliss. Yesterday a chilled day at home and then evening with friend and lovely cooked dinner of prawn linguini pasta - mmmm :) Today a nice lay in and then OH and I popped to Chichester for some shopping and he treated me to lovely lunch at ASK.

    It's been really nice just relaxing and just brought home to me that this should be me every weekend - all the more reason to work harder at clearing those debts so I don't have to work overtime :mad:

    Aiming to finish off the weekend with an early night tonight after a nice relaxing bath xx

    What a nice weekend Choc, I'm jealous!

    Why don't you just do one weekend a month o/t or every other or something? Life is for living too.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Thanks Pen. I know I should do just a couple but I know what i'm like and would feel bad if I was just sat on couch and could be working if that makes sense....if debt balance wasn't SO high I would consider it. Perhaps I can make sure I have one weekend per month off to relax? Decision decision... hope you are having a lovely weekend, just off to catch up on your diary xx

    Oooh I'm jealous of your lunch at Ask :D I love Ask!!
    A much needed weekend of relaxation I think :D

    I think you need at least one weekend a month off from the OT otherwise you'll just end up stressed :(

    ASK is one of my favs along with Pizza Express. We were given a voucher for two meals for £10 sun-thurs with our bill today so another trip to ASK me thinks! ;)

    You're right Moose, def one wend off for relaxation per month - this weekend was due to system problems so don't feel so bad as couldn't have worked even if I wanted too. Didn't spend too much either, did treat myself to a No7 tinted moisturiser - had £5 off voucher thingy so only cost £6 :T If I like it then i'll stock up as have another £5 off....never used No7 before but friend highly recommends so worth a go - need to revamp my skincare/make-up....getting old :( OH said he'd treat me to a makeover/new make up at department store and then jokingly said 'if it makes me look better'....:rotfl:how rude!! He'll regret it though as i'll keep him to his promise :p:p:p

    Every so often they send me vouchers on email for 2for1 :D Haven't been to Pizza Express for ages, don't think we have one near which is a shame cos you can get them on Orange Wednesdays :(

    I'd never used No7 before (still got to try make up but waiting still stuff runs out) until I got a set for Crimbo, the 4 in 1 wipes are lovely and only work out at £1.50 with the vouchers :D
    My friend recommends the mousse foundation so I'm going to try that when I need some.

    Have a great day xx
