    It's that boring bit of the month when it's too long till payday :( (though bank account seems to think it's due any time :rotfl:).

    DS has moved out but haven't had time to sort out rooms yet :( Plus he's borrowed my tool kit and I need some things in it :(

    14 things on ebay Sunday but no bids yet :(.

    £1.26 Tilly Tidy :).

    Working at home yesterday and today. V busy yesterday, didn't finish till 6.30, with just a quick break for lunch, shame as it was quite a nice day. Decided today I'd have a proper lunch hour and cut the grass so I could get some fresh air. Even though grass is wet if I don't cut now it will just keep growing and get even wetter. So, anyone want to guess the weather forecast for lunchtime :mad:.

    Need to sort out some things to be returned at weekend/before the weekend :o.

    Today I will mostly be eating hm lentil soup :).

    GG :)

    PS Happy hump day :T

    I am at that halfway point when I have the heating on for a couple of hours in the evening, but at no other time.

    Wouldn't need the heating on if the weather wasn't so damp and horrible.

    This time of the month really is dull, MSEwise - glad we have got the diaries to keep us occupied.

    £1.44 Tilly Tidy :)

    Meeting at work cancelled so WFH. Upside is £15 diesel saved, plus may get to cut grass finally as good forecast :T. Donwnside is 3 days WFH in a row = stir crazy surprised-smiley-emoticon.gif

    1 ebay item with bid, £9.99 - got free with £6 mag sub so already in profit :j. Loads of watchers on other items but no bids yet :(.

    As I'm WFH I'm hoping postie will deliver an exciting parcel. Splashed out £1.99 on long bendy brush to try to clean outlet pipe and improve water flow from shower. Rock'n'roll :D

    Today I will again mostly be eating lentil soup :).

    Double booked tonight - hospital visit and fat club, will have to juggle somehow :o.

    Almost the weekend :T.
