    Well done wee_jo on the DF!! How exciting! :j have a :beer: or 2 tonight to celebrate

    A little list for me today as I am pooped:

    Checked banking mortgages etc gone out today, not too bad.
    Check quidco
    Keep eye on ebay, watching 1 item, ending sat pm
    Lunch with friend and LO, will only cost me petrol to get there as she will pay as can claim it back through work ;)
    Have made DD some HM lunches and frozen the extra cheese sauce in potions for pasta (in some small pots I bought ages ago that I found lurking in the back of the cupboard earlier in the week during a clear out)
    Recycling out - neighbours probably wondering what is going on as we have about 8 bags of recycling - we had a BIG clear out :p
    Tea from freezer, salmon pasta


    Have a good day everyone x

    Thanks Milly!! :beer:
    Unfortunately I had to change it as (stupidly) my username was very similar to my email address and I noticed some strange emails apparently from "my email" so I had to email the Helpdesk on MSE and request that they change it and I changed my email address too :(

    Well now my tummy is playing silly games with me as I'm trying to be healthy and its paying me back by making funny noises and being very uncomfortable! Stupid toxins and addictions to naughty food!!

    I'm now going to pop home on my lunch break to find some special tablets I have which might help me the rest of the day so I hope I still manage to get to the shops in time!
