It's amazing how many of us are unwell today. I woke with a migraine at 3am so haven't been able to make it into work. It's subsided a bit, but I'm still not up to doing anything much.
My list so far:- checked banking
- checked for surveys
- DH has fed and watered the hens and collected one egg so far
- phone Briti$h Ga$ re DD amount
- all meals from stores
- have an NSD - no 4 this month
Making magic with fabricLight travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.0 -
An addition to my list - just entered the meter readings again, trying to do it weekly now so we can see exactly what's happening - the amount we were in credit was going down and down and finally they've adjusted our DD so it's £10 more a month - would rather be in credit than have a big bill when we inevitably switch in March.0

Oooh thanks for mentioning meter readings, I keep remembering I should do mine...so off to do it now while I have it in my head:DI really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
Phew, they had increased it from £80 to £159 pm, but after discussion it is going to be £99 pm. Still more than I can afford, but better than £159!!stitching_witch wrote: »phone Briti$h Ga$ re DD amount

well....:rotfl:
I shouldn't be laughing really... It should be

:( It was going really well until today, when I gave in as DH had some... Must regain my strong will from somewhere... was smoke free for 4 years until September this year and it really didn't bother me. Will keep persevering...
Hope you are fairing better

Afternoon all
Back in the ratrace again. Though it was an inset day rather than a teaching day, so a nice free lunch.
Charged the phone at work
Checked the bank no surprises
Left my cards at home
Did a quick one poll survey and got screened out of another
Turned the heating off as I won't be in till late today.
This evening I will meet a friend for a cheap pub meal and then go to salsa so I'll spend about a tenner. However, friend has some lovely Italian Pecorinno that her hubby has bought back from visiting his family in Italy. So that kinda offsets the cost somewhat
Hope you feel better soon DNMS
Hope everyone else survived the first day back0 -
