    Morning, dog walk beckons - I must admit I feel half asleep this morning so a stretch of the legs will, hopefully, help wake me up.

    Small OP of £1.72 to tidy the bank account up. I am not tracking these on a spreadsheet, I probably should, but I am tracking the major ones. The odds & s@ds OPs will help gently move us on the journey.

    Busy day at work, not sure there are any other types of days :). Dinner is half made, home made beef and onion pie and I will pick the veg when I get home.

    That's all for now. NSD ahead and I have made lunch to take to work.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Bimble, Bimble, Bimble - that's how I feel today. Busy at ok but just plodding away on the MF treadmill. A NSD, but so much rain I feel we should invest in an arc. I can't recall the grass ever looking this green :rotfl:

    Lunches made for tomorrow, but I have completely forgotten to make the marinade for the pork. B@gger - given I have come to bed for an early night I am not getting up now. I will have to do it in the morning.

    I am meeting a friend for coffee but that will come out of my loose change purse. Working in the office tomorrow so looking forward to catching up with people. Almost Thursday and definitely headings towards the weekend.

    Evening, I have no idea where today has gone. One minute it was 5.45am and 12 hours has disappeared.

    No money news to speak of - ticking along.

    Still pouring with rain and it is 166 sleeps to Xmas :T. I needed to cheer myself up with something given the relentless rain.
