    Well I suppose if you NEEDED a new work bag then it was a justified purchase (is this making you feel guilty :))

    have just updated the pay as much as you can off in 2011 thread.

    copied from there (too lazy to type again!)-

    since i started again properly in april i have now paid-


    £3286/£7500 (my target for 2011)!!!!

    wow that looks pretty good written down! 44% of target cleared! not really thought of how much i have paid off as just focus on the amount left. hmmm quite motivating! :T

    thanks bad weather! have not acheived all of list though oops! did have a clothes clear out and got a bag for chairty shop and a few things for ebay. listed 4. also have a bag of bags for charity shop as have loads (but not large work ones :p )

    trying to decide about my dune shoes. i :heartpuls them and wanted when they were £80. couldnt justify it so bought cheap replacement pair that i have never worn (to be listed on intranet). i bough the dune shoes in the sale for about £55. but they are v high and i cant drive in them. have worn them once and need heel grips i think. i since bought identical pr from next at £26 but are inch lower so can drive and walk. but i :heartpuls the dune ones!

    so i am thinking shall i just buy heel grips and wear them at work to see if i can cope with height (cant wear at home as noticed floorboards covered in dents from my heels....oops!)? if so i can then wear them on nights out. or i could sell them for probaby at least £30. decisions decisions! :(

    also bill is constipated and has not pooed in days i think (only couple of poos in cage and i cleaned him out on wed or thur). plus he smells of poo :( i have googled and have now rammed some veg oil in his mouth with syringe and given him apple carrot and tomato. also tried to wipe him with damp cotton wool as he is a bit smelly but didnt sem to do anything (didnt appear that there was poo there). so will need to inspect for poo tomorrow and if none will need to take him to vet again! grrr! :(

    absolutely typical! got home and still no poo and looked like he had a big blockage. didnt want to leave it til tomorrow night so got emergency appointment at vets. 30 mins later the vet picked him up to find he had the runs!!! grrr why didnt he do that before i took him! on a more amusing note i gave him a little bottle cap with few drops of veg oil and water in. well he must have washed himself in it as when i got him out he was like an oil slick and looked totally bald in places! have cleaned his cage so hopefully he will de-oil soon!
