Yuk, I can't BELIEVE I have another cold :mad:
Where did that appear from? I only had the last one about 3 weeks ago :mad::mad:
Anyway, today I have:
Been to work despite cold - if I had taken time off every time I had one this year, I would hardly have been there! Will review the situation in the morning.
Took lunch with me to work, and had HM breakfast at home (porridge with raspberry compote - trying to use up last year's raspberries from the freezer before the next lot come)
Walked dogs before work for free exercise
NSD
Still to do:
Get supper from stores - prawn and salad wraps and some of the yummy chocolate banoffee pie I made at the weekend - remind self not to make it too often as it is mega-fattening and OH and I are fat enough already :rotfl:.
Feed tomatoes in greenhouse, as I noticed some have little marble sized tomatoes on already :T
Feed chooks and dogs
Make up spare bed for self to avoid sneezing all over OH and keeping him awake as well as me :eek:
Put washing on so I can put it outside to dry in the morning, weather permitting.
Have an early night to try and get rid of flippin' cold :mad:
Have a nice evening everybody :j0 -
Afternoon all :hello:Just got in from day at work placement - my last day is on Thursday :eek: Can't believe how quickly it has gone

Only a few bits today - long day at work and same again rest of week.
* I went to Aldi to get cheap salad for tea, and made tea despite work and travel amounting to a 12 hr day
* I also got some cheap plain yoghurt and used some of it with chopped up leftover fruit in the fridge to make a breakfast to take to work tomorrow
* walked to post box with ink cartridges for recycling
*scanned in my shopping for the panel points
*received in the post (and scanned
) a £2 grabit T shirt (free postage too!) which is for christmas 2010 or 2011. I already had something for the person (a charity shop new book for £2.49) but at that price one of them can be for next year. The Hut was the company it came from - looks OK for relatives from teens to thirties. Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0
