Morning all!
After a few days holiday I'm up early and ready to go back to work - ho hum. Only for two days then I'm off Thursday though, so yay!
I managed to both be exceptionally DFW-y and yet very bad DFW-y in my 6 days off work - nieces and nephew are down so lots of free kiddie entertainment, scuppered only by my getting bored and booking a hair cut on Saturday... In my defense, I was about to book an appointment for 2 weeks time, and there was an offer for Sat only! And I've rebooked for December, stretching out my usual 11-12 weeks into 14. And I started my Xmas present buying from the reduced DVD box sets on Amazon... I know there are plenty of people out there who are already done, but I do feel better for having started!!!!
Anyhoo, onto today's list:- [STRIKE]Check banking [/STRIKE]and adjust remaining money until payday after weekend spends...:o

Hope everyone's had a good day - just wrote a really long response and something ate it - grrr!!!!!
Thanks to Ally for the seed link - a pack ordered! Thank you so much! Well done WelshWoofer for the savings - I love things like that, so simple! And Candy - that lipbalm sounds yum!
Hope everyone who's been trying to smile
has managed to achieve it today, I've managed to stay relatively cheery with a couple of minor ranting exceptions to my colleague! Hey ho!
Have a great evening all!
