Hi folks , having spent last 2 months running round like a headless chicken getting things done I have decided today is a 'me day' , lots of R+R on the agenda to try and avoid getting run down .We are about to go into another 'viral illness' season and I don't want one thank you !

So far today I have :

• Got up after a lay in
• eaten a healthy brunch
• entered a few comps
• done a few surveys
• checked banks
• booked in for more blood tests
• agreed date for mattress delivary from Tesco (paid for by ebaying )
• kept an eye on ebay - new target is a bed frame for me
• arranged for people to pick up stuff from freegle
• not impulse bought from grabbits

and still to do (maybe)

• afternoon nap nooo can't sleep in the afternoon
• get dressed :rotfl:done
• set up home scan cba
• print greggs voucher to use tommorow cba
• print cookbook voucher to post tommorow cba
• sort out friday list to include light retail therapy done the list but think i will avoid town
• see if i can access CC account online (forgot my details ):o done and its better than i was expecting
• more comps done a few
• more surveys doing well
• healthy meal from stores cba
• sort out store cupboard in bedroom cba
• crib cards ? cba
• email manager to book in pdp next week done and demanded a one to one
• email potential new employer and arrange to meet up ( has offered me bank work with a view to permanent role )done

Seems a lot but not too much physical stuff to do today so will be relaxing compared to a normal day off :T

we wanted a silver one but it was £50 more so in the end we decided it didn't matter if it was white, silver, balck or orange as long as it cooked!

OMG how much i would love an ORANGE one :D:D:D:D lol ....off to check orangecookers. com

Ceejay- so sorry to hear things are not great at the moment Fingers crossed they pick up soon x

Stitchy - Well done on the corset sale - can't beleive i missed that this morning! You must be very pleased :j:j:j

Afternoon all

Pixie, so glad the Crohn's isn't back

DNMS - great news on the cooker. I've been looking at fridges today, and would love a steel one, but really would just prefer one which works!

Ceejay - sorry to hear you had a rubbish day yesterday - hope today's getting better for you.

I'm really behind today, and feeling out of MSE sorts, but here's my list:

• heating's off
• laundry on the airer (yesterday's line drying ended in rain, and it looks much the same today)
• checked online banking
• checked for/done surveys
• spent what feels like the entire morning researching fridge freezers
• parked in free car park whilst in town
• bought cheap batteries instead of adding them to the grocery shop
• lunch made out of odds and ends - eggs, onion, leftover quorn bacon and sweetcorn - yum
• dinner from stores/menu

The fridge thing is more complicated than I would like - ours is so old, and I made the mistake of assuming the newer ones would be about the same size, but the freezers are almost all quite a bit smaller. And I already feel we are at bursting point with the freezer. If only there was room in the kitchen for an American style one, but alas not.

Hope everyone's having a good Thursday

Oh, have been meaning to buy silicone cupcake cases to use as a candle mould for SIL's bday - saw that new baking mag is only 99p and you get 6 free. Will get that tomorrow :T

Thanks for the reminder. I nipped out at lunchtime and picked one up. I wouldn't buy a 'part work' but those silicon cake cases are sooooo expensive normally.

Hey all
I think there must be something in the air, I feel rubbish today, really blue and OH doesn't get it. He is sick too, so has reverted to sarky boy mode and it just makes me sad.
*hugs all round* and Yay for pixie!

Today I have/will:

*walked to work, despite desperately wanting to get the bus
*will walk home
*not a NSD sadly as needed more cough sweets ans I have a driving lesson, but its budgetted for
*checked bank - balance transfer done, so that feels really good! I will also be able to pay £400 off when expenses get paid
*had starbucks coffee and free mini cakey thing (so wouldn't pay £1.50, but mmmm good!) (starbucks is my vice, so lovely boy got me a card for my birthday)
*trying desperately not to cancel driving lesson, but feeling rubbish and its a bit of an uphill struggle

Can't think of anything else

Hello lovely ladies - and gents if there are some!

Any tips for keeping your freezer frost free!! Or at least just a lower level of frost? Our fridge freezer is particularly bad - it is rather old and recently kept frosting up so it was difficult to get the door to seal shut!

We have just defrosted it, eating everything from the freezer for 6 weeks and i have put the drawers back but am sure it won't take long to get back to what it was like before

I know there are those frost mats but cant find them for cheaper than about £7 and i suppse i would need one for every drawer!

Thanks in advance!

Forgot to add - clean freezer drawers on todays list!

Lovely empty freezer ready to fill. Just popped to the corner shop to get the girls some birds eye crispychicken for tea - that is all that is in there!!
