    £1 PAD to barclaycard. Spends today £2.85 on biscuits. Tried to buy some lottery tickets for tomorrow night but couldn't add funds to my lotto account - I think NWB are having more problems because several people on here have mentioned they can't buy things online.

    I've ordered some dry kitten food, cat litter and a litter scoop to be delivered to work next week. Free delivery and 10% off first order so effectively the liiter scoop was free. Paid for out of fleabay proceeds from paypal account :D

    Have hoovered all through (v hot :cool:), cooked dinner, cleared up and watered garden. Thursday night is my epic wash night so second load is on and I will put third on to finish first thing tomorrow. It's the only chance I have of getting it all dry to iron at the weekend.

    Looking forward to tomorrow night - we're going to watch the Olympic Opening ceremony at mum and dad's and get a cinese takeaway. DD is going to stay there for the night because on Saturday morning I'm doing an 8 mile walk for charity. DD didn't fancy it for some reason.......:think:

    As soon as the washing machine finishes I will mop floors and go to bed. I'm shattered today - I'm juggling too many balls at the moment ;)

    How amazing was the Olympic Opening ceremony? Loved loved loved it. There was everything there - music, NHS, history, film, books, armed forces. I was worried it was going to be too multi-cultural and try to appeal to every nation but our own. I loved it for its Britishness.

    I didn't do my charity walk in the end. My friend who I was doing it with had hurt her foot and I didn't fancy doing 8 miles on my own.

    Spent the morning with dd and we went to a pet superstore in the next town. Went in with intentions to buy useful things like food bowls and mats and came out with a laser pen. Oh well...:o. The food and litter that I ordered arrived today so at least I know that's a good site to use - Z00plus if anyone's interested.

    We went for a bike ride with my dad in the afternoon - probably did about 3 miles. I get really stroppy if I miss my exercise and apart from a run on Monday and Tuesday's pole class I hadn't really done much. Back to running this week.

    Yesterday we went to the seaside with my sister and nephew. We dodged the showers, had a fish and chip lunch, the kids went on a few rides and we even managed a paddle in the sea. We got caught in a massive thunderstorm on the way home so we actually timed everything well :)

    4 CDs sold last night so that's a few more squids in the pot. 2 have paid up and the final buyer of the last 2 CDs is querying the postage. I don't think I can reduce it much even though they are both going to him in the same envelope. One of the CDs was on the old postage rates (i just relisted it as it was) and I don't think being parcelled up together I can send them as a large letter so I don't think I can give him much off. He's getting to CDs for 99p each as it is! Some people want the shirt off your back :angry:

    Went for 2nd run of the week today and also had a pole class too so feeling very virtuous there. Have mashed up collarbone again though :o but was able to do almost everything that we went through.

    £1 PAD to barclaycard.

    £1.84 on postage.

    Off up to bed in a minute. I'm trying to drink at least half a pint of milk every night (now I am a woman of a certain age :D) and also because my poor nails are in a state - they're growing but are peeling and flaking and look unsightly :think:

    Think that's it for now.....

    Grrrr to annoying buyers:mad: I have a few items ending tomorrow, hoping they all pay up so I can post before we go away on Friday. No doubt one won't...:) I have posted that I'm going away on the item description so if they want it payed they need to get a move on (I did put it more politely though!)

    I worry about my calcium intake a lot - I don't have hardly any dairy as I think it's lactose that affects my sad insides...that an too much alcohol unfortunately:( But I don't have yoghurt, milk, a little cheese...so my calcium is pretty dire. My T's have started doing the lactofree stuff and I like the soft cheese, but I still don't eat enough. With having taken steroids over the last 12 years a fair bit I do worry. Haven't seen my gastro doc since last sept tho to talk about it - was told I'd get a 6-monthly appt sent through...hmmm still waiting:mad:

    Anyway, sorry to ramble:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    I reduced the postage in the end. I've also reported the original winner of my well worn trainers for bad feedback he managed to leave me after he didn't pay! Don't know how he did that. Anyway I'm being threatened with having my seller rights reduced so need to get thatfeedback removed. T*sser in all senses of the word.

    Well I've drunk so much milk this week that we have almost run out at home so I will have a glass here at work to make up.:D No chocolate nesqu1k here though....

    Been away since Monday at centre parcs. We've had a lovely time and did loads of things we've never done before like High Ropes and tree trekking plus a load of stuff we (I) have done like roller skating. I'm pleased to report that after 30 years I can still skate and it was really good fun. I'm getting a pair of roller boots!

    I'm exhausted and covered in bruises but feel quite fit after all the cycling (at least 2 hours every day) swimming and walking. Unfortunately my finances aren't in quite as good shape :o. Never mind, we have had a good time and with a bit of juggling these things sort themselves out. Besides, I get paid in less that 2 weeks and child benefit and child maintenance should go in before then :D

    We pick up our kittens tomorrow! We're both nervous and excited. I'll be tearing my hair out by lunchtime.....
