    Go and meet a friend - only spend the £30 from Paypal money going in - so it's neutral, not a penny more but hopefully a lot less
    Have an NSD
    Take lunch with me (celery, carrot, grapes)
    Take a drink with me - bottle in my bag
    Go to the dentist and have an extraction.
    Try and cook dinner
    Try not to fall asleep
    More revision
    Find links to films I need to watch
    Look out for a copy of "Heart of Darkness" so I can watch it.
    Take book back to library

    Morning all (or afternoon!)

    Determined new ms - good luck with your daughter. I'm with Fay, and inclined to say wait if you can, but then only you know what's best for your family.

    Slightly grumbly here, Mr Daffs off doing exciting things for the whole week and I'm missing him (how pathetic is that??) :(

    Anyway, today I have...

    * made yogurt (and think I ruined it, but damn well going to eat it anyway!)
    * made a cheery present for a friend's birthday (late, but there we are!)
    * posted Amazon sale book - 45p profit, lol! :)

    And I will...

    * transfer Amazon earnings to other account
    * update spreadsheet
    * planned NSD (maybe except milk, which will be £1)
    * visit friend for a free cuppa and a look through ancient knitting magazines :)
    * do lots of PhD!
    * cheery run (free exercise)

    Have a cheery day all if you can...

    That's about it I think. Will pop back later to catch up.
