    Evening All,


    Hello to everyone who has posted and whoever posts after me tonight. DNM - I have noticed that the fourm has been quiet recently.

    Anyhow, today I have
    - taken Mum to the fracture clinic this morning (I got in from town last night to find her on the floor...knee gave way and she dis-located her shoulder :eek:)
    - skipped breakfast as I was going out for lunch
    - friend offered to pick me up and take me to lunch as she was seeing her daughter in the next close to mine
    - friend paid for lunch (I did protest)
    - went on my mystery shop (en route home so friend covered petrol)
    - curently watching recorded things on sky box
    - went to mr S's with hubby as there was 3x points
    - need to type up MS report and print it out, file and fill in my spreadsheet
    - looked at the gym opening times for tomorrow
    - hopefully got the winning lottery ticket

    Think that is about it

    Take care
    Candy xxx

    Morning Milly,

    Today I will:

    * [STRIKE]return weekly RM postings[/STRIKE]
    * [STRIKE]post off application for uni card refund[/STRIKE]
    * post off postal survey Must finish this tomorrow
    *[STRIKE] post off uni form for loan [/STRIKE](again :()
    *[STRIKE] not buy too much food as I have a few days working away coming up[/STRIKE] partial success, spent £25 in Mr A but bought some ready meals for DH to eat whilst I'm away
    I also went into a CS and got two bargain DVD box sets for my dad - I already have several things for him so I'm up to about Christmas 2011/birthday 2012 :rotfl:but I can't pass up things he would love. I might either sell on to my Mum, be even more generous at Christmas or just keep stockpiling :o I do love my Christmas stash.

    I was looking for a new purse for my receipts for expenses and work ID cards (different cards for different places), no luck there yet (have made an ebay bid on one - went via Quidco). What I did find was a fairly new sheepskin hat for £3.50. Much smarter for work than my acrylic beanie that tends to rise up off my head making me look like a gnome :cool:

    I walked to the shops with my grannie trolley for the shopping, so I got some exercise and saved petrol/wear and tear on the car too.

    Also, I decided to sign up for some more survey sites etc and was checking the freebie top cashback links and entered a competition to win asda groceries which offered me lots of "click here for lovely spam", one of which was "click here to join shop & scan". I excitedly clicked that one in the hope it is the shop and scan panel that other MSE users seem to do well from.

    So, not a bad day all in all, even though my housework is a 0 so far :o
