    Having a little rest now and entering some comps :)

    Oops, been missing in action. Quick update:

    Just posted on comps board "I have won one of ten bottles of Stable+, basically an air freshener/familiarant for horses. Great - except I don't have a horse :rotfl:. I was obviously on autopilot when I entered as I do normally only enter for prizes I can make use of. However, I have a choice of people I can pass it on to so will be gratefully received :j. " 1 down, lots to go :)
    Gave up on Moby !!!!!!. Posted elsewhere that unless the next chapter went along the lines of 'Chapter 35. Moby !!!!!! appeared. Boat sunk. There're all dead. The end' I would be abandoning it. It didn't, so I have :rotfl:. Life's too short to read books I don't enjoy :)
    2 more sleeps till Gambia :)
    More than 2 sleeps worth of work to do prior to then :eek:. Worked all yesterday morning, an hour last night, 3 hours this morning and more to do later. Then at work tomorrow & am going SW tomorrrow night so will NOT be doing anymore after I get home. Am actually pleased I have done it all - a load off my mind, and tbh I am paid enough to warrant the odd lost weekend. Bit annoying when you send out a load of emails and no-one else is working so you don't get any replies :rotfl:. Girlie swot of the weekend reward to me (should have copied my boss in on some :rotfl:) :)
    Was at a speed awareness course for 4 hours yesterday (can you tell my weekend has just been non-stop fun:rotfl:). Was actually very good, lots of little tips. They also covered how many cameras there are and how often they are working etc. Lets just say if I could get the same long odds working in the opposite direction when I'm comping I'd have more than a bottle of Stable+ to report :rotfl:
    About to get dressed and nip into town for a few bits & pieces, including using my No.7 vouchers to best advantage. Cue headache while I try out various combinations of 3 for 2, £5 off, extra points if you spend xxxx, b*gger me they've given me another £5 voucher etc :rotfl:. Then home to pack (which is ridiculously early for me but needs must ;)) & must remember final decluttering of hair session :rotfl:.
    I have lovely big box of stuff to ebay and am planning on knuckling down to it when I get back off holiday - however still got doors to gloss in bedroom so they will take precedence. Maybe :o.
    No exercise done in 2011 as still not right (and will be OD'ing on decongestents before flying :eek:), hopefully though lots of swimming & walking on holiday :)
    Ah, mortgage, that's right, I knew this thread was supposed to be about something :D. Tenant's HB cheque hasn't cleared yet but I've had to transfer over mortgage money so back over 19k :(. Still, will be into 18's early Feb and 17's mid hopefully :T.
    Own BTL has just had OP of 143 from leccy rebate which knocked a month off :D. 701 days knocked off term since Sept, 1.9205 years :rotfl:. It will be getting the CTax payments Feb & March so that should get me over 2 years knocked off :j.

    Hope you've all had a more restful weekend :)

    Just bought size 12 jeans and have them on :j. Well, obviously, I can't do that in them. This is my limit SuperStock_1888R-7342.jpg. If I'm not on here tonight please call me an ambulance - I may have restricted circulation :o
