    • Enter some comps (aim for 10)
    • HC & airer dry
    • Wrap ebay items to post tomorrow
    • Find receipt to return broken PSP controller
    • Online shop for delivery tomorrow – need to be very careful to stay within budget, last shop before payday so it needs to last nine days

    Some good advice there although I'd argue that charging your phone up at work is classed as stealing! Same as sending all your post via the company's franking machine!
    Sarah x

    I use my phone when on call for the hospital/theatres so that could be a good one to use, sorry I didn't get your call, my phone battery was dead as I didn't want to steal from the NHS by charging my phone? Hey might be useful sometime, as I spend alot of time on call.

    Today I will/have:

    Checked online banking
    Updated my signature
    Saved £50 because my osteopath can't get back from SA to make our appointment tomorrow lol
    Made all meals from stores
    Batch cooking and freezing
    Check eBay items
    List another 3 items on eBay
    (Why do people ask you to re-list things and then not bid on them? or use BIN? - won't waste money doing that again!)
    Registered to vote, although I got my card through the post today, so am obviously already registered?
    Made 2 T-shirts for my Torchwood Bears
    Ironing (Huge Pile)
    Painted my kitchen door and skirting boards white
    Entered a Torchwood competition in TW magazine to win JackHarkness Tonner Doll
    Had a NSD as I stayed at home NSD 16!
    Fabulous!

    Cheers

I just cant leave a 6 and 10 yr old alone, and OH did tell them he wasnt available until after 9am :(:(:( Manager said it in front of 3 other colleagues, which was embarrassing but handy as I have a witness....not that it helps because they can cancel my contract in the first 4 weeks if they want and I cant stop them.

    It measures the amount of air going into the engine and tells the car how much fuel to inject and how to formulate the right mixture so it doesnt run rich/lean etc, I'm guessing you had a lack of power or engine warning light on. x
