    Morning All....long time no post from me either, sorry... Have had the week from hell workwise, which has resulted in me working 2 evenings til bedtime (on top of working all day), I missed my SW class and a meal out with friends too:mad: Worse thing is, we don't get overtime either double :mad: anyway, on a more positive note, I now see light at the end of the tunnel...:j

    List for today:
    Meeting out on site, will have lunch, work will pay
    tea from stores/freezer - even better - using reduced fish I have previously frozen for a fish pie, so cheap too:D
    Washing on, will dry on airer - may stick the airer outside if it clears a bit before I go out.
    work really hard this morning so I don't have to work tonight
    if quidco payment has cleared in bank OP CC
    check banking whilst there, less than 2 weeks to payday so should be ok:o
    Have a quick scout round and see if there is anything that I can sell at NCT this sat. Don't think so as I'm keeping most things for no.2 (hopefully) but will double check. Am helping anyway, so I can scout out any early bargains as we get to go rounf before everyone else :D Will set myself a budget, however, unless you're buying anything big - it's difficult to spend lots.

    Think that's about all - have a great day everyone - lovely to 'see' MOGCHOPS back... Hugs to all:)

    Check surveys
    lunch from home
    Call tax office about my rebate :mad:
    Walk home
    Relist ebay items that didn't sell

    Candy re hormones I have been taking Angus Castus as you advised, also primrose oil for my skin and exercising. Also looking at positives & what I can do rather than what frustrates me

    Glad they are working for you....forgot what a pain in the whatsit a period was.....craving chocolate like no-one's business but have no change, so might have to suffice with a hot chocolate later. Also have no energy....then I have to go to the docs for an ovulation test (cripes :eek:)

    Take care x

    Afternoon all :)

    Not much happening here today, really.
    • making fish pie for dinner
    • lunch on leftovers
    • checked online banking
    • checked for/done surveys
    • done some comps
    • should be a NSD
    • going to a friend's for a cuppa later instead of going out for one

    On the other hand, I drove to the dr today, instead of the brisk 15 minute walk I took yesterday, and have had to resort to using dryer, as ran out of space on airers/banisters etc. Never mind, will do better tomorrow!

    Hope everyone has a good day :)

    I think that could work for me....I tried to sneak into the kitchen last night to sneak in a huge chunk of bread (granary so not too bad) but I was followed by my mum :mad:. Resisted the urge to scream at her to leave me alone thankfully :o

    I am sure that happy Candy will re-surfuce as I am fed up of being a Birch! :o
