Hi again everyone :wave:
I am:
· eating leftovers for lunch
· resisting the shops
· drinking free drinks @ work
· smiling cos my fridge is somehow working today
· checking online banking - all in order - and checking/looking at my 0.00 spending cc balance
· not drying or straightening my hair
· wedding planning but no spending- organising hairdresser and florist - now just need to look for ideas to take to them…
Fay - any flower ideas I should look at for ^^?? Wanted peony roses but seems they're not available in October and want mainly white/ivory with green (am thinking eucalyptus (sp?) or perhaps sage (or the colour sage) foilage…)
Quick list but hopefully doable!0 -

My daily plan didnt go down too well.
Right in my lunch break the heavens decided to open so I got totally soaked (was nice this morning so didnt think about protective clothing!) and wouldnt you know, its sunny again now!
Anyways, I got soaked while getting my lunch and couldnt risk the post office so letter will have to be sent tomorrow (would send it via work but like to keep everything recorded)
OH needs to put some money on his bike so I said we would sit down tonight to discuss holiday options as I would prefer him spending the money on his bike so that he can ride it safely (already worried of him on that thing as it is!)
Have also called doctors as my tummy is still playing up and I thought it was dairy so I did a dairy free diet but now my tummy is still bad so doctors tomorrow night to sort it out *hopefully*:j *~* 2011 - TRY TO GET CREDIT CARD AS LOW AS POSS BUT STILL HAVE FUN *~* :j0 -
