    Morning All!

    Rainy and dark here, so although heating is well and trully off not the cost seems to be offset by having lights on in the day :rotfl: Hopefully it won't last and the sun we be back out soon :p

    Anyway, list for the weekend:
    Having burgers for tea as we didn't have them from last nights meal plan as DH was very late home, so I just had some pasta and he ate at work
    Freezer meal for DD lunch
    lots of washing - dry on airers
    Pictures up we found whilst clearing out last week - saves buying new ones
    go look at new cars - time to order a new one from work - need to make sure I make a wise choice on emissions and fuel economy, whilst it still being comfortable, practical and nice to drive! Not too much of a wish list :D
    Go see DH mum today and mine tomorrow.
    Told DH to not get me a present from DD for tomorrow - quality time is a much better gift :D
    Check onepoll - have neglected lately
    Had some money left over at end of month so moved to ISA before tax year ends

    Great new on the non smoking DNMS I'll be at 4 weeks on Monday :eek:

    Think that's about all - have a great weekend everyone :)

    Hi everybody,
    Sorry I`ve been awol for a couple of days, not feeling too good, my sinuses have been playing up and making me feel like some one has sledgehammered me in the face and feeling queasy all the time. I`m feeling a bit better this morning and as it is my last day off for at least the next 7 i`m determined i`m not spending it in bed. My mood is not helped by the fact the house is a tip!:eek:

    Todays list;
    Tootle round to post box with the dogs to post small Ebay parcel.
    Tidy up bedroom at least, want to declutter airing cupboard and rearrange drawers.
    Meals from stores.
    Not gonna manage a NSD, have just been informed that we are down to the end of the last loo roll so will have to go and get some!
    I`m still waiting for my new credit card to arrive (have got pin but no card) so I can get it registered and transfer my Egg balance and a chunk of my Bcard over to 0% but post been and no card.:mad:
    Might try and get a couple of bits on Ebay later.
    Sow some seeds.

    Sunday;
    Go to work on split shift.:(
    NSD.
