Thursday 21st October - What small DFW things will you be doing today?!

Erme

Surprised myself and got coffee and like elec paid before 9.30 and baking has just been put in for the hour :j...so now I have supposidly 'free' time (but can always find plenty to do ) till baking comes out....

Just wondering when exactly to leave for TS bearing in mind the bank (not far away) closes @ 4.30pm and I need tobacco (sad really. Haven't made much effort this week :eek:) and if I do both I'll need to get an expensive lunch out :eek:..But might be necessary... If I go to Mr. T near the bank it shouldn't be too expensive (think cheap cheese and onion sandwich - not great but it'll do) and then my jobs will be done...:D

And also there's roadworks near me so it'll possibly mean walking home when tired

Erme

An alternative to word and excel is easy - open office (check the free software on here)

as for hair - if it's just a basic trim what about the local FE college? You should be able to get it for less than a tenner including a blow dry....

Hope that helps

Just had a whoopsie on a sigg bottle top and carabina for my water bottle £10


Now time to check online banking...have eye appt tomorrow as getting quite a bit of eye strain lately and don't know why
