Hey hey ladies,

My list is very short & not very exciting today, but so far I have:

• Checked banking & updated spending diary
• Revised budget for Feb - very tight :eek:
• Food from stores
• NSD (2nd of the month)
• Watched last nights episode of Silent Witness on sky+

It's my little sister's birthday today so we're going to Frankie & Benny's for tea tonight (my dad's treat!! I'm suppling the 20% off voucher) :money:.

Few of you seem to be enjoying your books just now - whats everyone reading? I have just started 'Room' by Emma Donoghue and its an amazingly written book but very traumatic and disturbing :ohope you all have a great day

OMG I really want that book!!!! So much - did you buy or get from the library? I might treat myself to it as it has been on my to read list. I am currently reading "the secret scripture" by s barry. Have only just started it (13 pgs in) so the jury is hung at the moment

opps supposed to be working from home but just can't focus atm...

Littlekel - I love the sound of that game!! Mine would look rubbish and I'm not the very creative type but might keep it in mind…we always play cluedo at my sister's so could make it cluedo-esque with family members and rooms could be people's houses or something… got me thinking! :T

littlekel ur game sounds amazing, am truely truely impressed! my friend did a travel guess who for one of our friends who was off on a round the world trip a couple of years ago and took all the pics out and put in all the peeps in the gang! Went down amazingly! x

My friend's sending me her copy of Room...had it in my Amazon basket but she's saved me some pennies;)
I'm reading a lovely easy chick-lit one at the moment plus one called 'The Winter of Our Disconnect' about a family - woman and 3 teenagers - who go technology free for 6months. I'd love my girls to be less keen on being online...but not as brave as this woman to pull the plug completely! Very interesting:)

PS....Did you spot me?;) Tis millyscarlett with my new name:rotfl:

I have just read Using the plot - Paul Merrett V. good...Got it from the library and am now back onto a combo of Evangelical Times (light theological reading); Little women (sometimes) and 'Human Nature in it's fourfold state - Thomas Boston' which is a heavy puritan read but am enjoying. I only got into puritans 2 years ago approx (minister put out some pocket puritans which are two sermons each published by Banner of Truth and easier to read than psychology book; on a lot of relevant modern topic though mostly written 300-400 years ago) and I read 'sinful speech by John Flavel' (not just on swearing believe it or not. 1 day to read, a lifetime to apply) and was hooked.....Couldn't believe how easy they were to read. Then that winter I read an abridged version of the christian in complete armour by Gurnell (everyone bar me kept calling it Girdle LOL) which was a delight and amazingly so suited to my condition I bought the original cheap secondhand and it's a perm feature on my bookshelf...

Last summer I read the Diary and Journal of David Brainerd - one of the first missionaries to the Red Indians - the Diary being most moving and I also read a few of Jonathan Edwards sermons (abridged again ) - the guy who wrote 'sinners in the hands of an angry God'.....

So yeah...this is the type of stuff I read after 8pm (and also for min an hour on Sabbath afternoons) when okay enough as part of my evening routine...cos it's intellectually stimulating and good for me...
