    OMG another twin/triplet on this thread. I went to a sleep at 9.30 last night, so embarrassed by this I wouldn't have admitted unless u did too... I don't know what's up with me at the moment, I wake up at 6 everyday and then crash ridiculously early. OH was joking earlier I won't bother getting up soon ! :o:o:o

    Tilly they never asked about my income, I'm sure it was really for ppl on benefits, however I was on a low income, debts two children and wouldn't have been able to afford regular vets. The idea is to prevent animals suffering x

    Hi There

    Today i managed to have a NSD.!:T

    I am pretty awful at hitting the target normally ( see signature) but i managed two over the bank holidays.

    Also i turned the heating off today - which is normally a struggle as OH would rather wear a tshirt with the heating on than a jumper with the heating off:mad:

    Hi everyone :wave:

    Have caught up on the thread from today and from the weekend. Feel better now! :D Was at my sister's visiting this weekend, but I did have a small things list going round in my head :p

    Determined new ms - yay for starting the thread! :beer: Good stuff.

    Littlekel - I might pop over to the diaries thread too myself. Don't really know if I'd have anything at all interesting to say for myself but like you say, I think it could keep me more motivated (and not bore you lot with my monologues! :p).

    This is how my list looks:
    • Update spending diary with spends from the weekend. Tried to keep track via a drafted text message but didn't do too well... I know how much money I left with and how much is currently in my purse but it'll annoy me that I won't be able to put spends into their own little category. :o I am now sounding like a weirdo - maybe I should have a category for 'weekends away' and be done with it!
    • Had leftover stew for tea with v tasty and v cheap pancakes - didn't eat in the train station on the way home! :T
    • Read a book on the train and didn't buy a magazine :T
    • Going to catch up with the forum
    • Going to read my book and have an early night. I too am a lightweight!! :rotfl:
    I've got tomorrow off work (it's my bday and I liked the idea of extending the easter hols a bit longer) but I'll get back on the DFW track on Weds. Promise. Catch up then xx

    OMG another twin/triplet on this thread. I went to a sleep at 9.30 last night, so embarrassed by this I wouldn't have admitted unless u did too... I don't know what's up with me at the moment, I wake up at 6 everyday and then crash ridiculously early. OH was joking earlier I won't bother getting up soon ! :o:o:o

    I thought everybody did this :rotfl: it is way past my bedtime already!

    Haven't done much today as I haven't felt very well - in fact I went to bed for an hour this afternoon - think I am getting OH's cold just in time to go back to work tomorrow :mad:

    However, I have:

    made a curry for tomorrow's supper from left over cold meat and some bendy veg from the bottom of the fridge, so will only need to warm it up and cook some rice tomorrow evening after work :D

    made OH prepare some sardines that have been lurking in the freezer since I bought them in a fit of enthusiasm last summer ( I wanted to try them after seeing them on cookery programmes etc though I am a bit funny about fish to be honest). Once OH had done the messy bits, I grilled them with herbs and garlic and we had them with a tomato salad and bread and butter for supper. They were quite nice, though perhaps not worth all the fish slime,scales etc that I had to clean up after OH :eek: but at least they are not looking at me every time I open the freezer any more!

    Made some cranberry sauce - sounds funny I know as it is a Christmas thing,but I bought some reduced cranberries for 25p after Xmas and they too were glaring up at me from the freezer basket ... Anyway, I do really like it with chicken and other meats, and it has so much booze in it,it keeps for months in the fridge.

    Cleaned up kitchen after lots of messy cooking!

    Made my sarnies for work tomorrow :D

    Off to bed (again) now, good night :wave:
