    1. Put 10p in the savings/debt pot - put in about £3 including a £2 coin
    2. Jog on the spot for 5 minutes (and put some effort into it we want you slightly out of puff!) followed by 10 situps - I went jogging, does that count?
    3. Dust all of your picture frames - noooooooooo!
    4. Make dinner without buying anything in - done, had corned beef salad and couldn't eat it all
    5. Make someone's day - went to the cinema with my friend and said thank you for letting me come with her to see Wicked on Sat (her birthday pressie)

    I got some new jogging trouser things and they are well comfy. Also saw Scott Pilgrim and busted the budget....really need to work on that, hopefully it'll calm down again soon as I'll be back at uni

    Done all challenges! Have just eaten a yummy baked potato and chickpea daal and now having a beer or 2 to celebrate getting a couple of grand from the taxman for paying too much tax last year...:j:T:beer:

    How was Scott Pilgrim, Elfen??? I really want to watch that!

    Vampy, it's REALLY REALLY GOOD! It's my second favourite film out this year - tied with Inception. It's just funny and strange but in a good way

    I'm treating myself to a cinema visit next week, so I'll go see it then - I saw previews...just looks amazingly well executed by Edgar :D

    Afternoon,


    Butti, have you managed to get the roof sorted?

    Man is coming to fix on Monday afternoon. Will leave a bowl out over the weekend. Should cost about £250 which is good and he's going to look at the valley gutters which will need attention soonish.

    which 2 schools Sally? PM me if you don't want to say. I can ask my ex his thoughts as he knows all the schools in particular the private ones locally.

    That's such good news Sal....but a difficult choice now. I am sure you will make the right decision.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T
