Morning all!
Still feeling rubbish but have stuff to do so no more wallowing in germs for me.

Have already taken the very patient dog for a nice medium sized walk to try to clear the cobwebs for both of us - just resulted in me being exhausted and about 3 saved up poos from him (bless him!).

Today's list of jobs...

• Mark year 11 books - will take ages:mad:
• Spent 70p on a can of pop this morning so no NSD but need the caffeine
• Take Xmas tree down
• Put dry washing away
• Maybe do one wash (jeans etc)
• Pop to local M&S for vouchers for Mum's birthday and some cards
• Write year 7, 8 and 9 lessons for this week - about 2 hours work I think
• Phone mum
• Try to be nice to OH - I've been like a bear with a sore head (literally!) for a few days
• Watch the darts tonight
• Updated spends
• All food from stores

That's all for now - off to blow my nose again!

Stitching Witch - sorry to hear you had such a nasty surprise. It must make it even worse when you thought you had things under control then you get this out of the blue. I hope you manage to get things sorted out. (((Hugs)))

I had quite a good day yesterday, although it didn't turn out to be a NSD.


Today I will:

• Check online banking and update spreadsheet; - Done
• Transfer £50 from joint account to cover groceries I bought from my personal account; - Done
• Make lunch and dinner from storecupboard supplies; - Done
• Do a meal plan for this week;
• Send off three old mobile phones for recycling; - Packaged up ready to be posted
• Photograph & list some ebay items (OH helping with this!); - 13 items photographed; 4 now listed (will do the others tomorrow)

I think that's it for now. Have a great day everyone!

Woo, we have a new knitter among us! Good stuff. The best book I used when learning to knit is called Stitch and B!tch - diagrams are great. And you tube has some fab videos - The Knit Witch does some great ones. And the Knitters Thread on the OS board is also a lovely place. Oh, and Ravelry.com - best source of free patterns I know.

...erm, sorry about that... Got a bit over excited about the whole knitting thing there

Morning all

Welsh you're making me feel bad, those blasted year 12 essays are still winding me up. Going to invoke the 15 min rule to get them started.

I also got on the scales today, I've put on 5lb :eek: so need to cut back to make sure my nice new coat is not too small for me.

Today I will

• Do the weeks shop to get stuff for packed lunches done
• Use some coupons at Mr T's to cut cost. done
• Cook food from stores for lunch and dinner done
• Bake some sugarless and fatless cake to help curb the sugar cravings over the next week or so
• Fit the energy monitor that I got free from NPower just before I left them half done, my meter is too far from my flat to register, need to call helplinedone
• Read a little
• Change the bed sheets done
• Hoover done
• Tidy/polish done
• Buy car shampoo so I can wash the bird poop off my car rather than take it to the car wash. Remind me not to wash my car before I go to Folkestone again. those ##@@@&&~~ seagulls :lipsrseal done
• Year 12 essays yet again
• I may, just may, manage to talk myself into going for a run too

Have a good day all

Right then, Been on the Brit$h Ga$ website and checked all my previous statements. On the most recent one it states that we have used 11672kWh from 31/12/09 to 30/12/10. Based on this level of consumption our estimated bill for 2011 would be £1192.86.

How on earth does this make £159 a month?? :mad::mad:

I know, they then gain the interest in their bank then "refund" me later in the year. Oh no they don't! They get a phone call tomorrow morning and they will be told I won't play that game.

Sorry, rant over!
