just went into the kitchen to see if my poached eggs were done, seemed to be rather a lot of smoke, thought I'd burnt the toast, then realised that I'd managed to forget to put any water into the poaching pan (it's one of those ones with a metal tray to hold plastic "cups" for the eggs to go into). So the whole thing had melted - eggs, black plastic, all in one unholy sticky smoky mess at the bottom of the pan. Between that and the leak in the hall my day's really off to a good start!! :mad: :mad:

you really do seem to be having the worst day ever!:eek:

it's not the best way to kick off the weekend, is it!!! :rotfl: still, could be worse!! it's a bit annoying about the pan cos I use it a lot and will have to replace it. at least I know a cheap guy who doesn't mind clambering around on roofs though! got a week's holiday starting this week so that means I'm feeling happier than I otherwise might have been!

:rotfl: I am definitely not an early bird at the weekends. Rog sweetie you make me laugh! Which today I need it very much as my OH has taken the role of a military commander :eek: :eek:

Maybe I'll get that £58 I need to be below £10,000 :j

Hope you don't get tempted to buy lots more than tobacco and milk. I'm watching you know

Never mind Moozie - it'll all be worth it in the end. I hope you manage more than £58 :beer:

I'm actually doing very well on the tobacco now - 25 grams lasts me 2 - 3 days and I was smoking 40+ fags a day. I may soon be ready for another try at giving it up. :rolleyes:

Although I went shopping, I think I have done well today.

Nuts/seeds: about £5.

I wanted some nuts and some seeds, and the nuts were on half price and the seeds were buy one get one free, so I got two of each and saved about £5.

Wax strips: £4.

I was overcharged by £4 as the label on the shelf was wrong, I'm proud of myself as I took them back to get my £4 back (I don't like to make a fuss).

Chocolate: £1

ok slight weakness!

A card: £1.19

My little sister has landed herself a suitable job, two years after she started looking after she graduated. I think it's worth £1.19.

Stamps: £2.64

Second class of course.

I also banked £75 in cash that I have accumulated (I have a car sharer!).

I was always told the best way to quit was to cut down,(although I don't smoke) well done I am very proud of you!:T
good luck when you eventually decide to quit.

That's lovely positive attitude following an eventful day Cathy! Well done! Hope the pan and the guy are cheap!

Very envious about the holiday, hope you have lots of fun
