Good morning everyone,
My attempt to give blood yesterday failed! I passed all the questions & the iron test, but when they actually came to take blood, they told me my veins are too small :rotfl:
So for now that list item will not be crossed offThey said I can go back in a year & try again as apparently the size of your veins vary throughout your life, & they didn't want to put me off by hurting me by trying now!

Thanks for starting the thread ms.
Well my lists for today involve sorting out money for the garage, blumming exhaust decided to fall off the car. So were looking at a bill for at least £210.
So the purse strings are now tighter than scrooges backside.
Here's my list for the day
I'm not quite so bouncy yet, but it is nearly Friday......
Today:
- check online banking
- tea (using up mince form the fridge)
- heating off:D (well its set to 16.5 as its still frosty here on the mornings)
- lunches - so scavenging form the fridge or lo curry
- go to course (already paid for)
- check one poll, survey network and survey head
- sow some seeds
- apply for jobs opnline (saves the price of a stamp)
- see if Amazon vouchers so i can get OH's central heating book.
- go to physio
-make some bread when i get back (been so slack with that)
- hang washing on line
Have a good day all!

Morning all
Thanks to DNMS for starting us off.
Happy Birthday to Compliments have a great day by the sea.
Last day of the week for me. :j Got some good news yesterday, I have an interview for uni course. However, its next week. So all my plans for the week have gone out of the window to allow to have some preparation time for that. Would mean a whole shift in career, scary and exciting. Quite mad that they only gave us a weeks notice as it made train booking more expensive. Anyway onwards and upwards (hopefully).
Today I will:
Walk to work
Check bank balances
Check surveys
Charge ipod at work
Take full advantage of free food at lunchtime
Walk home instead of gym
Prep talk for uni interview
Read around for interview
Skype friend for tips with interview
Quick tidy as DH home tonight :j
As you can see, interview is going to dominate my time. Just want to make sure I am prepared. Have a great day everyone.

Today so far I've sorted cards to sell at care home (work) in a sample sale this afternoon. Not sure they'll get it or buy any, but it makes a change.
Had a friends little girl here this am as she's got bad earache and friend needed to get things from work.
Helping do make up for school play and might take DS along with me and we can watch (Fiddler on The Roof) - free entertainment!!
Actually - that's the thing I'm struggling with CCCS have said my entertainment busget is 0 and I really want my son to do things (and go swimming - costs about 7 pounds to go if I drive, or 8 if I walk to the nearest) and not feel like he's missing out - any idea's very welcome!
My DH is prep'ing for 2nd round interview - he's got to do 2 presentations. I'll be listening to what he's got so far sometime today.
I'm going to take a look at onepoll, I'm really new to this and looking for any (legal!!) ways to make a bit extra.TOTAL DEBT: £29,570 (14/03/11)
