Today is my second day on the DFW board
wish I'd come here sooner. I did my SOA last night and La Escosea (sp?) suggested the small things thread, so here I am-sorry, no biscuits with me.
Welcome Polkadot! :beer: Don't worry yourself about spelling my name - it means Scottish in Spanish btw - mostly go as La or La Es on here
Today my list is looking like this:- Found 50p
- Compiling/finalising wedding list!
- Grabbed a tin of fish from the cupboard to have for lunch (with toast – already have bread in work)
- Post last ebay package and check for feedback on other packages that should arrive today – I stoopidly didn’t get receipt of postage as they were all large letters and I had large letter stamps…eek.
- Enjoying my daily free cuppa

- Still looking into storage spaces and seeing what size we need/can afford every month
- [STRIKE]Really try to have an NSD and keep the remaining £20 I have in my purse for the weekend [/STRIKE] Just remembered about posting the ebay thing. Boo, no NSD for me.
Catch up later tonight when I get back from work.

Thanks La Es, Im sure Ive seen you about before as I remember the spanish/scottish thing. Was a bit depressed earlier as Ive asked my questions re the overdraft and not had any answers yet, but then I looked at posting times on some of the other threads and realised most of them are made later in the day

Went to pick DS up at nursery and was given the proofs for his photo's , the cheapest one is £13 AND they want me to choose between 5 different poses:( They're all so cute so I guess I'll let DH make the choice.0 -
Afternoon all.
The first morning i stayed in bed until 7.30am for ages. Didn't make me feel more rested - just more rushed!

Aw ta for asking actually I wasn't feeling very well this am - hence the short list I'm kinda hoping it was just something I ate IYSWIM:eek:
Polkadot - can't you scan the photos? That's what I use to do - the nursery folks do these as money-earners - its a bit naughty really.
