    hey-ya :wave:

    :grouphug: to everyone! Big :wave: :wave: to all the new posters. It's great to see this thread so busy recently.

    This thread is a great motivation for me. Keeps me focussed throughout the day and I love catching up with everyone when I get home from work. Thanks for keeping me on track! :D

    Plus, like DNMS said yesterday, you can't always share these kind of things with other peeps - my friends just wouldn't 'get' it… DNMS - you're debt figures are great! You'll get that bad-boy debt slashed before you know it!!

    Today my list looks like this:
    · Polite email reminder (again!) to the friends who still haven't paid what they owe me…
    · PAD to cc with some cash from friends who have paid me back :)
    · Free cuppa
    · HM lunch
    · Post batch of wedding invites, made by my fair hand :D
    · Think I might sell any HM wedding invites I have left - recoup those costs!
    · Fish we got for free for tea :)
    · Cook up some spuds before they go off (and hope it's not too late) :(
    · Start thinking about August budget :eek:

    Littlekel, if you are around, PM me if you ever want to winge about wedding costs or owt else wedding-wise! ;)

    Catch up soon

    xx

    <sneaks into thread looking sheepish>

    Hello... fab to see you all again with all your lists... I've got a huge list today, but I've also got an incredibly sore throat, and feel generally rotten and crap, so the list isn't getting dealt with, so I thought it was about time I posted it on the internet for all to see... :o

    * PhD chapter jobs - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    * ring dentist
    * washing on and hang outside
    * 15 mins tidying attic
    * 15 mins tidying bedroom
    * next bathroom DIY job (things obviously haven't progressed since last time I posted in here! :eek:)
    * gardening for woman on LETS scheme later (but I might ring and cancel since I feel so dreadful)
    * sort out clothes for work trip tomorrow
    * sort out freezer which appears to be leaking :(

    Everything seems so overwhelming today, pah! :o But I've already wasted the last 4 hours, so it's probably about time I got on. All I want to do is lie on the sofa and eat cake :o

    Have a good day all!
