Oohhhhh Natty, you've only got tomorrow left now and your weekend starts
:)
Work is ridiculous but they pay me and in some masochistic fashion I get a real buzz out of it
Enjoy the equivalent of your Thursday night.

Hi Ixia, thanks for dropping by. My diary has been going for just under eighteen months and I know I would not (we wouldn't) have achieved the OPs without this site and the support of the generous spirited MfW forum. Keep your diary going, it will be a live saver :j

Morning,
96p TT OP this morning
Dinner this evening is a tabbouleh salad with some of the gammon I cooked the other week. Thank goodness for freezers
I'm hoping to do more walking from the weekend as I am going a bit loopy being cooped in at home.
I feel in a bit of a rut at the moment. I need to put more stuff on eb@y to clear it out but need to recheck postal prices. Still looking for a lodger and quite a lot of interest but either no shows, or not suitable. Given that we are missing out on £90 a week it's quite frustrating.
Food portions have been reduced a little more to help the diet and I am enjoying using the larder contents up in the menu planning. When I do the next menu plan, I'll be back using up jars from fridge.
Two phones up for new contracts this week so Mr T is off to sort that out tomorrow
.
I'm off to visit a relative on Saturday then need to get home on time to have a pedicure with DD :T.
I have something on my mind at the moment but can't grab hold of it, I hope it's nothing too serious. It's really irritating.
Dare I say that the ironing is still not finished
. Work has been so mental that I after I finished my calls and did dinner etc, I headed for bed :eek:
Finally we normally turn the heating off on 1 April and then back on, on 1 October. Whilst this may seem regimental it's mainly to help us gauge the year. Last October it was a little later I think, but this April it's still on and likely to be for the rest of the month :eek::eek:
Have a great Thursday and weekend starts tomorrow night :j. These weeks are racing by - 258 sleeps to go.
