    well done LMC. Is it because work is essentially a thing we do because we have to, which fills our time. Whereas weekends are full of possibility for spending as we choose - so we fritter them away without noticing.

    Well done on the decluttering beanie...I try and set myself a target of "x" number of items to chuck....

    Problem is that I then sit and buy more crap on ebay to replace what I've just got rid of :D

    Nearly done a (printed) page of revision - have to write it by hand but hopefully me doing it this way will make it stick! (It's half a written page..)

    Need a break though

    I've been getting round to going out and it just started raining lots harder. That will teach me to let the internet steal my life! ;)

    ThinkI'll shower now and see if it stops raining in a bit. I've just decided to see if aldi still have their thermos flasks in - big ones I could put porridge in in the morning and take to work. Cheaper than yoghurt maybe?

    Hi Claire,

    Just off to Aldi in the hopes they've not sold out of big flasks. Am also doing some decluttering.
