  • Also - have been looking at 'spensive dresses on as0s and tried on loads at the weekend...today I got one for £12 in TKM@XX!!! :D However, cos of all my savings, I convinced myself it was ok to buy boots too :o Eeek, overdraftdom once again :o Bad bad bad... But still a saving on what I was looking at/going to buy and they are both v useful and the dress fits me perfectly and suits me much better than everything I tried on... :) Guilt absolved! :)

    Oh well, what a shame! My new shoes reeeeaaaallly hurt my feet (and that's just me walking around the flat) so they'll need to go back:T £34.99 saved :T

    (I'm pretty sure a year or two ago I would've kept them, worn them once or twice, moaned the whole time, and then bought another pair!)

    Night everyone

    Hi folks quick post from me before I go out again , will read through and update later.

    Today I have :
    • Been to Occy health who report fit to work with phased return and lots of positive support - ball in their court now.
    • Emailed occy health report to union rep and waiting to hear next move - i suspect I may be moved to gardening leave as I doubt I can work there whilst the union are pursuing my case.
    • Went to butchers and got a huge hunk of braising steak very cheaply.
    • Put half of braising steak in slow cooker with dubious veg etc - that should do the 2 of us two meals. Gorgeous , first proper meal in ages and it does make you feel good as opposed to take away
    • Posted DDs ebay items and got reciepts so she knows how much she owes me - I will get it back !
    • paid for october mini break - boy do i need that
    And I will also :
    • Check online banks - just plucking up courage:o Wasnt actually as bad as I thought
    • Do some surveys - so close to another voucher I can smell it woohoo anothe voucher on its way and will be over my xmas target. Although DD has requested xmas day meal out and as its been such a rubbish year I may raise my target and go for it.
    • Do some comps hopefully find the energy soon
    • Keep an eye on mine and dds ebay and list some more
    • ring salaries and wages and find out about pension (this may be tommorow realistically) tommorow
    • Tax return
    • look at costing packaging for cakes i'm thinking of selling.Not bad but DB thinks a local wholesaler may do it cheaper
    • Smile even though my heart is breaking :oI'm getting there
    What a great place this is. Am feeling the virtual hugs coming through thank you DNMS

    Also :
    • Done online shop
    • sorted out change from purse
    DNMS and anyone else thats interested , have a watch of a film called 'Pay it Forward' . Was reccomended to me by a leadership consultant I once met - Its a bit weepy but very thought provoking .
    When it rains look for Rainbows
    When its Dark look for Stars
