    Good morning!

    I'm managing to keep up with my daily jobs.

    Today, I shall do the following: -
    Check all bank accounts
    List two things on ebay
    Pay £40 into holiday savings
    Post amazon sales
    Check ebay sales
    Clean and tidy the bathroom

    Think that is my lot today.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Same here, my boss would rather we used our mobiles than his land line so allows us to charge them. :D

    But Googlewhacker posts this same arguement every now and then someone always replies. Probably best to ignore him/her ........

    Afternoon all - wet, windy and wild here too - it was like flying a kite walking my little dog on alead this morning!

    • Make lunch for tomorrow
    • Find something to watch on telly later that's not football!
    • Have a browse of the forums
    • Update diary
    That's all for today!

    Afternoon all

    I had been looking forward to this tuesday for ages - first tuesday the kids are at school and i have no college! A day at home. The stupidly yesterday i said i would come in to help out with paperwork today for the morning. Ended up staying until 3pm when the kids came out from school!! So much for that. Nevermind - it's done now and i get to take time off for it!!

    Today

    Homework with the kids
    eat healthily
    Dinner from stores -Quorn Fajitas
    Print out meal plan

    Not much today

    Stitchy - i bet that was great seeing the zero balance! I cant wait to see that!!

    KJP- I hope you enjoy your trip! I live in Braunton 5 miles from Barnstaple. Barnstaple is our closest town!! I LOVE it here! Though i hope the weather picks up for you. It has been very dull and windy for a couple of days

    Hello all!

    Stressful, horrible day at work but never mind - my colleague and I had a good rant to each other, had a cuppa and I've only got one day left this week anyway!

    Hopefully will be able to finish my essay tonight, managed to get an extension til Monday anyway (due Friday) in case cottage doesn't have internet access to submit, but would be nice to leave the books at home!

    Sorted out AAT sign up - course starts a week on Thurs, excited!! Don't think they'll pay for membership renewal but hey ho - got some money in savings so will use it for that.

    Stitchy - you sound much happier today than you have done over the past week or so, so long may it continue! Enjoy Grandma day tomorrow!

    Orange Fairy - boooo to the weather but never mind, planning on doing nothing but curling up with some books and wine and read absolute trash for the next week until I have to start reading accountancy textbooks again! Not been to Barnstaple for about 15 years I don't think - imagine it's changed a lot! The only thing I can remember is the indoor market!

    Right - 400 words left to essay - lets go!

    Have a great night everyone!
