  • Morning, off for a dog walk shortly - weather looks pretty miserable.

    No pennies to TT OP :(
    H@lifax return shuffle complete so £10 TT made today :)
    Euros ordered via TCB and tracked - we have done it a few times and it's worked well

    Dinner this evening is leftovers from the weekend so no cooking.

    Mr T is in the office for part of today however he intends finishing a rework of his CV tonight. He's job hunting for 4-5 hours a day which includes researching, tailoring applications etc.

    The shock is subsiding and the reality that we can cope but it will be tight is comforting.

    No further spends until Saturday as we have a quiet week - fortunately walking the hounds is free and good for the body and brain :T

    Ooooh it's just started to pour :(

    I'm not sure about the choice :( although I've not seen him in anything, so I don't know what his acting is like! I'm going to miss Matt Smith :(

    Good luck to Mr T :)

    Hi Tilly, posted on my thread too but you get more visitors than me (due to the lovely establishment you run here :D) so I wanted to share wider

    Anyone for a free [EMAIL="GR@ze"]GR@ze[/EMAIL] box?

    I got a voucher last week for a freebie. It arrived today with a code in to share with friends to also get a free one so if anyone wants a copy drop me a PM

    If it's anything like mine I had to register to get the free one and you then have to cancel it after that or they keep coming through and you get charged

    Not had one before but seen others with them, only nibbled one item so far today but twas very nice

    Regards

  • Hi ATT, pull up a chair, I'll get the kettle on :)

    Thanks for the link and hopefully someone will be along to benefit.

    I'll pop over and check out what you've been up to today - any ironing during con calls?

    I actually ended up doing the ironing when we returned from walking the hounds - that's all down to you. Boy you were on a roll this morning :T
