Will be losing microwave within weeks :mad: Management solution is to eat @ staff bar or restaurant which don't allow you to bring your own food. Not very helpful! (Rant over, sorry!)
Hey Rock_Cakes - have you thought about a bento box? They've always seemed a bit pricey to me but my friend has one and loves it and I guess you'd save in the long run...Pernicious wrote: »La escocesa - I wouldn't feel too bad as I guess you need the money more than the pressie at the moment! Your evening plan sounds fantastic
Yay! You're with me
Told OH it was much better to sell it now while the series is popular too - otherwise it'd sit on the shelf for a year and then I'd sell it but by that time I'd only get £10 or £15 for it. 
Ooh, chocolates in the office! I sit next to the cupboard that everyone puts them on! Sooo bad! :rotfl:0 -

this is more my kinda thinking (I always think when I'm torn between something I SHOULD do and something I WANT to do if I got run over by a bus tomorrow and I am lying on my death bed would I be glad I did it or glad I didn't? Invariably it leads me toward hedonism :T :j)
You're a bad influence!!! I opened the tin and had 4, that's not too bad is it??!!

DD'S wedding dress has arrived :j:j It is absolutely beautiful and only cost £85 on Ebay. It looks as though it cost loads! I must now think of a way to keep it nice till July :eek: I may wrap it in a double sheet and hang it up - if anyone has any better ideas, I would love to hear them! It is really HUGE (as in very full, loads of silk, not that DD is huge :rotfl:)
I've got a couple of spare of clothes cover bags (the ones from Ikea - bought to keep stuff clean when I went to a car boot) - if you'd like one, PM your address and will send one off to you.
Day started out well, went to the shops at lunchtime and resisted the temptation to buy a very nice skirt....
Got home and mum phoned and one of our animals has died - had him 20+ years so pretty down (trying to keep busy & have a feeling I'm not going to sleep much).Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
