    morning all and happy Jedi day to you to ;)

    well busy at work once again, or at least should be, dont really want to be here and have already checked the jobs website this morning.

    feeling really sexy today, my wee one decided that it would be fun to jump on Daddies head yesterday, and snap went my specs now i am sat at work with selotape around the frame to keep them together whilst i wait for my new pair to be made, which will take between 3 - 4 days 'usually' but can take up to 2 weeks, oh the fun but at least it only cost me £10 for a eye test, new frames and the lenses got to love tesco value stuff, going to have to save for a better/second pair thou just incase the ones i have ordered are not very good or wee one decides its fun to break these as well
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
  • Good morning everyone,

    Pooky - congratulations on the DFD date and good luck with all those phone calls you need to make. :)

    Luc - I admire anyone that can run a marathon.

    The sun is shining which is typical after a rainy bank holiday.

    Today I will mostly be doing reports on a computer that's soo slow it makes strange whirring noises!:eek:

    right time to get ready for work.

    Morning all.
    Impressed by all these debt free dates. Can't even imagine when mine will be.
    I am in awe of anyone who can run 100 yards yet alone a marathon!
