Hi all..
What a gorgeous day! Today is going to be very busy ( but am going to try and make time for a little snooze this afternoon!)
Been to tesco this morning and to the farm for some burgers and kebabs for the BBQ we are goign to tonight. We haven't been out for ages as saving money so it will be really nice to catch up with some friends tonight. Mum is having doglets for us so we can stay over and save taxi costs.
Have borrowed a bread maker from mym - don't know if i'll be much good at making bread - or if it will owrk out cheaper but i'm going to have a go and cost it out! My OH eats loads of bread ( i tend not to because of SW) but i thought if i can make it and he likes it - why not ! will update you when its done. Mum and dad don't use their bread maker so if it works will keep hold of it and then maybe ask for one for my birthday!
Tidying house this afternoon - then doglets out..
Have a fab day everyone xxBaby due 4th May 2013

Triangle.....creepy thing happened today. I rang tax credits and was on hold waiting for an operator. Looked at my phone and i had been on for 5 mins which seemed like forever.....so i thought of you and decided i would wait until it got to 7 minutes like you had waited for and then if not i would wait and do it another day. Put it on speaker phone and watched it go 6.56, 7 8 9 and i went to hang up when a voice said hello!!! On the 7 minute mark EXACTLY! Was a little creepy!
So good news...i finally got through!!!Orange Fairy

Hi
This is my first time on this thread _ I was looking for something else and fell upon this and think it's great!
I didn't realise until I read this but I've been quite MSE today too....
* Took washing to mum's to dry outside (I live in a flat - no outside to call my own!)
* Bought much needed trousers for work from Matalan and not from Next!
* Tried on and very much liked a top, but don't need it so put it back!
Ooh and tonight I'm going out for tea courtesy of a full loyalty card, and also have a store voucher to buy some shoes (for work again though - pah!)
I'm going to remember this in future and see what I can add!!
Hope everyone has a fab day - the weather's lovely isn't it!

ok so have decided don't want to do the boring chores on my list now!!!
Will do one or two over the day (don't see the plants as chores tho
), sun is shining, I have the house to myself and am drinking hm irish coffee mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. So new things to do:
- write list of things I want over the year - things that I think will bring me pleasure/save me money/enrich my life. So with this I can either spend my monthly pocket money on items/save a little each month or when its my birthday/xmas and oh/family ask me what I want I will know - I can live vicariously through writing lists of things I want want rather than through going out and buying what I can't afford!
list has 3 things on it :o1. a remoska, 2. a giant weighted hula hoop to exercise when finally finish opaying for blimming gym I hardly ever go to... & 3. an ipod (will only get cheap one off ebay when debts are cleared). How sad I can't even dream of things I want to buy anymore! Although oh was talking about budism today and how they see "wanting" as suffering...
- Also think I will do an inventory of my summer clothes and work out what I intend to get over the summer...
