    Happy camping Littlekel.

    *onepoll done - 10p. I don't get many surveys there, generally one or two a day.
    *RM survey post logged
    *checked for other surveys - none so far
    * comping - will try to enter a few

    Yay :jIts Friday :j:j:j:j

    Welcome back Milly, it is great that you now feel well enough to post :j:j:j:j

    La E (I can never spell your full username :o) and Littlekel, have a lovely weekend x

    Olive - well done on saving so much on dry cleaning :j

    Today I have:

    Had breakfast at home and took lunch to work - did succumb to the choc machine this afternoon though (there goes my diet again :rotfl:) but I really don't do it very often, can't even remember the last time - not really a choc person tbh.

    Checked online banking - as expected

    Seen to plants and animals - ok, I still have to water plants and walk doglets :o

    NSD except for station car park :mad: and 55p for choc machine :o

    Will cook something for dinner a bit later, as OH is due back from his work trip this evening.

    Will think about hoovering and dusting lounge (and may even do it :rotfl:) as little dog #2 has skinned a tennis ball all over the carpet and I actually don't like dayglo yellow/green carpets :rotfl:

    Will sign friend's guarantor form for her flat :eek::eek: but I couldn't not help her out after the awful couple of years she has had :(

    Apart from that I am just going to chill, as it has been a really busy week at work, and next week looks like being even worse :eek:

    Well, here we are at 7pm and I have done approximately NOTHING today. Checking in mostly to see how many things off the list I can fit in this evening! :rotfl:

    * read gas meter
    * tidy up (not really MSE unless you count not having a cleaner?? :rotfl:)
    * next stage of bathroom DIY :rotfl:
    * put washing away
    * plant out free tomato plants
    * PhD stuff - lots of :rotfl:
    * book online train tickets for work on Monday and print
    * email probation office
    * [STRIKE]send email re fun day[/STRIKE]
    * meal plan
    * start sprouting some seeds :T
    * cheery run - free (much needed) exercise:j
    * write on cheery blog
    * cheery bath
    * put CDs on magpie (I think)
    * find 5 things to ebay :p
    * [STRIKE]sort out van insurance[/STRIKE]
    * [STRIKE]transfer money between accounts[/STRIKE] (gosh I sound like Father Ted! :rotfl:)

    See, I TOLD you I'd done nothing! :rotfl: Mind you, we did go food shopping (well, bought milk and fruit), and had an updated gas bill after I sent them an accurate reading - got over £200 off!! :eek: and they've reduced DD by £40+ a month - still disgustingly high but I'll be swapping soon...

    (mind you, receiving the letter didn't take very long, so I have no excuses really! :rotfl: Just one of those days...) :p
