    Hope you've had a good evening out with work:)

    Zumba started back tonight, so I've done that and a dog walk. Now vegging on the sofa, considering my bed, so rock'n'roll:rotfl:
    Everything is ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end:)

    Every penny's a prisoner:p
  • Hope you have had a great evening and you weren't secretly desperate to get back to Sherlock and the empty After 8 box !

    Good luck also on the New job ! I hope things start to really look up for you this year. Fingers and toes are crossed for you that you will manage to visit OH. I know how horrible it is when your OH goes away , but Skype is fab for keeping in touch even with a grainy picture and Daleky sound. Absence makes the heart grow stronger !

    I'm off now to demolish my two remaining After 8s and cram up on the 2nd purse thingy you mention. I'm still yet to kick into action with all the challenges, I still coming to terms with my own little ones buzzing around in my head!

    Take photo of sister's face, open in editing package, add "IOU £1570" in big red font across her forehead, save as her photo on your phone.

    That way you'll remember every time she rings. :rotfl:

    I'm only being evil for your own good :p

    OH thought this was a most excellent idea, now to pick a photo.

    That's because you're wrong. You actually need to un-DIM him, and once he's not so DIM, he'll find stuff easier...
    I had a word with myself then got on with my work and ignored him for the rest of the afternoon whilst he sat there swearing because what he was doing was wrong. I've spent 4 months of my life working on stuff I have no interest or knowledge of without any help as noone else knows anything about perl, so he can sit there and stew for all I care :) Once you know one language ou can read another, although apparently he can't.

    Evening was awesome, 4 rope burns and aching legs later but had mucho fun :)

    pinot - thank you for well wishes, I will force OH to install skype on his laptop he used to have it but keeps wiping his machine and trying to break it haha :rotfl:

    £12 spend tonight for climbing, 2 free lemonades paid for by colleagues tonight to say thanks for taking them climbing as their supervising adult :rotfl::T It's reminded me how much I enjoyed it and how annoying it is to not have anyone to go with, it's not exactly a solo activity.

    Just going to update my stocklist (post 3) to say how many tom purees are in the wardrobe. Then beddybyes. Will read diaries tomorrow morning as it's so late.

    Well, if they enjoyed it that much, then you can work on them to go some more.

    Z you do make me laugh :)

    No debt busting today and I didn't have chance to make any lunch for today last night as it was just too late so will go to Mr T with my purse money and buy something microwaveable. We're making curry tonight so that'll be tomorrows lunch mmm.

    I can't type as fast today as my fingers are all rope burnt grr, however team meeting this afternoon and I'll give notice then. I don't want to do it with just my manager in the room as he's really unapproachable and given that he's prone to being quite an angry man I'd rather other team members were there.

    Have saved my Dad some petrol money too :) I go past ik3a on my way to Bmth and my sister wants a chest of drawers with her birthday money so I've offered to get it on my way down on Friday. This doesn't cost me anything other than a bit of time stopping in there, yet will save Dad about £15 in fuel :) Plus I get brownie points for being nice yay *claps*

    Right time to do some work.

    Just worked out my % for lloyds is actually 33% APR. Have made my snowball public for all to see here

    Just received my Debenhams order to my desk :) £39 for over £89 worth of Clinique. I'm really impressed and Mum will be dead chuffed when it comes to her birthday in July.

    hi Kerri

    Good to see someone else using Riv@rford, I love them, have been getting their boxes for over 8 years after mixed service from other farms previously. Waiting for their delivery now as a matter of fact.

    My OH makes yoghurt using Riv@rford's as a starter. It is cheaper we reckon than buying it all the time. It tastes yummy, you can even get it to be thick like Greek yoghurt...

    You could put something up on the noticeboard if you're looking to meet up with people? I would've been really pleased to find another girl looking for a climbing buddy, it was not having anyone to go with that put me off as well. I went to the intro sessions for a bit and then met up with one of the guys from there, but he was a foot taller than me so we weren't really having the same challenges - I learnt a lot more from lessons with one of the girls as I had no excuse not to be able to reach the same holds she could!

    Hurrah for petrol saving good deeds and Clinique deals!
