    glad you're feeling better, yaaaay to sports bra, I did the same thing with mine years ago, got mine really cheap, its a size too small but it just squashes mine down further!! Not that I'd fit one in there at the moment though!!!!!

    How was the newspaper and magazine sorting?

    @Missymoo you should maybe get some maternity bras and some maternity clothes in the sales, @70% off should be as cheap as ebay:)

    Did some paper decluttering but it's never enough, it's an ongoing project :rotfl:

    Not very busy today, at the moment I'm multitasking between MSE, onepoll and eating Special K honey clusters straight from the box--it's yum!

    I love converse too, although I do wear heels as well sometimes. I'm definitely not as professional as Shoesy though as I need to wear flats after a day in heels :rotfl:



    You cannot NEED to wear flats :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



    I get vertigo since you've trained me to wear 4 inchers :p



    Mags - toxic friend sounds gruesome. Can't believe she asked if you were 'getting' the food. It's tough to get rid of that variety, they are so oblivious. Make sure you only see her twice a year at the most :)

    Skinny puss turned up earlier........wearing a collar :D I'm so happy for him, he almost looked like a different cat, still skinny but really cute. He snubbed my food again but we did have a cuddle and he looked so cute I couldn't be mad with him.

    Went to the chipper on way home from work :o I like never do that so I don't even feel guilty. It was so satisfying.

    I got 10/10 for both my toyshop mystery shop reports:T Wasn't expecting that 'cause they were very rushed. It's rather childish really, but it does give me a little thrill to get high grades for the reports. It's actually the money I need rather than gold stars.

    All of those self-help books contradict one another. "Getting things done" says you should deal with distractions or extra jobs as they arise. "How to save an hour a day" says you should concentrate on the task in hand and not let anything or anyone distract you.

    I think the solution to this is to buy just one book and do whatever that one book says. Too late for me, I have a huge stack of such books collected over the years.

    Hi love, just caught up with your goings on. You really do put me to shame with your surveys. I've been a right lazy cow with them lately! X
