    Also gas prices might go up 16% did I hear today? Thank goodness I switched us to a 3 year fixed deal.

    Cooo-eee! I'm here! Just renewed car insurance with different provider - still paying more than last year but have better cover.
    Cleaned out chickens today, new one has started laying little eggs even though she is not a bantam - maybe it's just her age, she's about 23 weeks so a young 'un.
    Night shifts tonight and tomorrow so will be like the walking dead on Saturday.
    Have a good day everyone!

    Hmmmm home made cheese straws sound lovely. Have been such a food pig lately. Mostly boredom and possibly hormone implant. Cheese straws would not last long around me.

    Reading One Day on my kindle and it's annoying me now. Just getting annoyed that the 2 main characters haven't got together yet but also don't think they are suited.

    OH is off out fixing a PC for his x boss. So I have glass of wine, cat, kindle and Come Dine with Me for company. Oh and all the lovely money savers :)

    How are you getting on with One Day? I loved it, as did the rest of my book club, but I know people who hated it. I think it's a love or hate kind of book.

    Good luck with the interview, and you too Butti.


    I've had to accept that I'm not going to get an essay in today. I'm going to fill in a special circumstance form, the last few weeks have been awful, loads of panic attacks.

    It's good to be back on mse though, I've missed it!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
