    My small bits are:
    - go to Aldi with £10 voucher (given after a complaint, which they did sort out , by the way). Do as much of shop as poss with this.
    - Tesco's for other bits eg nappy sacks that Aldi don't do
    - put a couple of bits on ebay
    - check bank a/cs
    -sort out second hand baby clothes lent me by a friend - yippee, once again i will have to purchase very little for my little one. Then will give them back after use so others can use them yet again.. very green as well as MSE!

    And thank you thank you thank you re the floor, after 18 months of the kitchen being a complete embarrassment (the back door is in fact the front door, nd only Jitchen & Utilities on ground floor so unless its a friend/family visiting most ppl do not go to the next floor so my fear is what they must think of us :eek:) so nice to get up this morning and see it in its finished form! :T:T:T

    Morning all! Horrible here in Manchester too - just walked the dog in very windy, cold wet weather - he wasn't even keen!

    Had a really poor night's sleep too - just couldn't settle, I think all of the job applying, uni work and generally panicking about the future isn't helping. Never mind - have lots to do so just better get on with it.





    Today's list....
    • Do another job app - started it last night so shouldn't take too long
    • Go to PC World for ink for printer so I can print them all off to post tomorrow - went to Mr Ts just to see if they had any and they did and it was cheaper - hurrah!
    • Start final uni assignment (7000 words:eek:) - aim to write the first 2000 words - done 2700 words so far, quite pleased with that
    • All food from stores
    • Stay in this afternoon whilst OH goes out to watch footy with mates - he's gone, peace and quiet!
    • Check banks - nothing moving
    • Put the dry washing away
    • Walk dog for free exercise - done
    • Clean bathrooms
    • Have a LSD apart from the printer ink
    That's it for today - hope you all have a good day
    Doing quite well with the work but my eyes are starting to hurt so will take a break from the laptop for a bit.
    Might watch a bit of Frost from last night!
