    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Hi all, crappy day today even if I do say so myself!
    Woke up without wanting to get up. Secondly my two colleagues were in strops because I had the day off yesterday (pre-booked holiday) and it was busy, big deal suck it up. Thirdly I went and bought a Mars bar and ate it :(. Fourthly I got home and went to ice the cakes I made for my netball AGM tomorrow evening, only to discover DB3 had helped himself to three of them.....and I had no margarine to make any more. Somehow not having anyone to whinge at about this meant I was sat on the kitchen floor in tears trying to work out where my life had gone wrong!!! Over three s0dding cupcakes!!! Silly me!

    So, all that aside...here is me today:-
    - Checked banking, TC's gone in
    - Rejigged budget again, lol I seem to do this every day
    - Lunch and snacks from home (mainly....Mars bar aside....)
    - Received £5 from customer for DD
    - Iced Sachertorte mit Schokoglasur given to me by my nan, at least he didn't scoff that!
    - Iced remaining cupcakes
    - Had shower instead of bath
    - Skipping dinner, not hungry
    - Will turn off HW now I've done my washing up
    - NOT dry hair with hairdryer or straighten tonight, will just have to do it again tomorrow
    - Will buy a book on iBooks....! and sit and read this in bed

    That's about it, lame I know but hey!
    Jx
    Nothing to report as yet...give me a minute...!

    Hello :j

    :mad: to broken teeth, 'uncomfortable ladies tests', stolen cakes and thieving exes! Hope all feel better soon :(

    For me today:

    Washing on line to dry (it stayed on there :))

    All meals from stores, though I did succumb to a yogurt at work :o

    Phoned British Gas and told them to send a bill based on proper readings (which I gave them) rather than some estimate that they pulled out of a hat or something - funny how they never underestimate, isn't it? I am currently dumping them as well, so if I over paid, I doubt I would get the money back without a massive hassle.

    Got a bid on one of my ebay items :)

    Got awarded a pay rise and a 'small bonus' (don't know how small) at work - we only get performance related ones, so it is nice to know that you are appreciated :D My job still does my head in though :rotfl:

    Oh well, better get on and iron some tops or I won't have anything to wear tomorrow. I've been dreading doing this for days, and there are only about 4 things to do :rotfl:
  • Hi everyone :wave:

    Jonno - I think you must work with me!!! :p (I have seriously thought about looking for a new job where I can work from home...)

    I've managed quite a few wee things today:
    • porridge brekkie
    • packed lunch for work
    • borrowed the car - visiting my friend tomorrow night so saved myself £8 on getting there and back :cool:
    • need to super glue a bow that fell off my shoes back onto them before the weekend...
    • bought home hair dye - £3.49 - hope this is ok as went for a cheapo brand from a cheapo shop...
    • need to raid my piggy bank tonight to put into a collection at work tomorrow for someone's 50th...
    • early night with my book - shattered after doing hard sums for 10 hours today - oh how I love my job atm!!
