    Morning everyone :hello:

    Thanks to DNMS for starting us off and for sharing the miss minimalist and La E for the project 333 link. Was a very interesting afternoons reading, shhhh. :shhh: But I am thinking about doing the 333 project. Work is so dead, I wish I had taken these days off.

    Fingers crossed for Compliments.

    Thanks Pern for the Ebay advice, couldn't find the manual, so will offer a discount or refund.

    Well the weather here is glorious, hoping that its like this for the bike ride, not long now.

    Today I will:
    [STRIKE]Walk to work[/STRIKE]
    Check bank balances
    Check surveys
    Sort out ebay
    Read MSE email
    Email agency that I sent my CV to, haven't had confirmation that they have received it and I'm a worrier
    Home made lunch
    Charge ipod at work
    Walk home
    Dinner from stores
    Pack last few items for bike trip

    Have a great day everyone.
    xx

    Morning everyone. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.

    Something of a bittersweet day today. My eldest son died in infancy, and today is his 18th birthday. I'm on the train down to London to visit his grave.

    Obviously, I'll be buying flowers, but hoping not to have to make too many other spends today.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done

    Afternoon All,

    Thanks to DNMS for such an uplifting start to the day
    Compliments, sorry to hear about the job but obviously something better is waiting for you
    Erme, sounds like you're doing great with the decorating
    Love to everyone else, I really love this thread and the support that is offered

    Hope you're all having a great day, mine has been a bit of mixed bag so far

    I have:
    checked banks
    stripped bed, washed and line drying (the bedding not the bed, lol)
    1 hour wii-fit
    made apple pie
    helped lorry driver unload 100 paving blocks (he had to park quite a distance from our house as cars were blocking his way, so as he brought them to my house in a borrowed wheelbarrow I had to bring them down the steps to our yard - hopefully this will have burnt a few more cals)

    Still to do
    finish lightspeed surveys
    LSD - Need to but new watering can as OH cant remember which one he put weedkiller in
    lay paving blocks (this may take a few evenings to complete)
    WW weigh-in (please keep everything crossed for a loss)
    hoover bed and re-make
    hoover stairs

    have a great day all, love to you all:)

    Hi all :wave:

    Thinking about you Karb :(

    I wonder how NTBY got on. So scary/exciting.

    Ooh, glad you liked the link Rock_Cakes - think I will try it too - going to start from next week when I'm off work.

    Still really manic in the office but made sure I took a nice long lunch break today :D

    Also:
    • Walking in the sunshine
    • HM lunch
    • Trying not to feel bad about only sending pal a bday card and not getting her a pressie
    • Getting excited about my wedding pics on disc that are coming tonight and hopefully album coming tomorrow :j

    Hi everyone,
    I`ve been AWOL for a couple of days, working way too hard but have got today and tomorrow off -yippee! I need some recharge time as i`m feeling really run down at the moment.:(

    I drove my Mum this morning to get several bags of compost and other gardening stuff as she doesn`t drive and she bought me my next months dry dog food while we were there for taking her.:D
    Washing machine is on as we speak and will be hung out in the sun!
    I need to go shopping for a few bits and bobs at some point, might treat myself to a bottle of wine. ;)
    Walk pooches.
    Do some college work.
    Pot on some plants.
    RELAX

    Hope everyone has a great afternoon!
