Brrrrrrr!!!!
But I am baak with a smile again as the dentist has glued my veneer back in - they are now talking about crowning the front two as I have had so much problem with them.
My Mini AF order arrived - nothing exciting, but coffee, pasta, tomatoes, bulghar wheat and urad dal. One treat, a couple of boxes of pectin - magic stuff for turning fruit juice into jammy stuff - grape jelly is a favourite here - loved in the states and difficult to get here.
Feel like hibernating - but too jumpy to sit still (wondering how DS1 is getting on) - so back to the paperwork it is.
Minded to have a "power day" tomorrow and clear up all the loose odds and ends.

Today is definitely a day for staying indoors doing stuff and not for prancing about in the rain (unless you are a druid of course).
I didnt need anyone to tell me that we are back in recession - we never left it:(
I am having regular breaks from these minutes which are long and somewhat arduous. As I type them up I am editing the sentences so that they make more sense by saying the same thing with fewer words. Plus I have had to respond to a club email now that we are changing the format of our meetings.
I have also done a couple of Pkone surveys so that will be another £6 winging its way to me.
Thought I would let you know that Ald* are running their 59p fruit and veg offer again - where else can you buy a fresh pineapple for 59p? You can get 6 oranges, 7 mini apples, a kilo of salad potatoes, 8 kiwi fruits, some fresh plum tomatoes. They are also selling induction hobs for £29.99 which come with a 3 year guarantee - an induction hob would typically cost about £60-90:eek:
Hope everyone is having a good day despite the weather?
Crickett - have you seen Martin's money tips as you can get Dotty microchipped for free >>>>0 -

Unless you are meeting a fellow Matrixette - in which case its a fabulous day....
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

Meeting fellow Matrixettes is always fabulous Moam.:D
The sun is coming out now:j
I have been through my emails from vile bully and kept some of them alas his one with the logos on contained a link which no longer works. I have now blocked him as I do not want to see his vile emails any more.
Curiously I have phoned the company who have the same logo as me and they have told me where they got it from - it wasnt from the same chap that I went to so it looks like he has conned me by passing someone else's work off as his own:mad:0 -
Today has been 'meh' at work, not even tootly today just 'meh' - not helped by having to put out buckets to catch the rain in the new classrooms. Apparently this has been caused by rain coming from a different direction to normal (normally the hall leaks but it was fine today!)
So today's run/walk has been cancelled and am eating Friday's crisps instead, but don't care as it is like winter out there and I need crisps. Dh is poorly enough to have been to the doctors and got antibiotics and a telling off about his lifestyle choices (bad food, no exercise, late nights and overwork) so he has decided to ditch the late nights.
Dd got a letter (and free ammonite) today saying she is now a member of the Dino club at the Dynamic Earth place in Edinburgh and when she next visits she can get her membership card - we only live 173 miles away so will be popping up regularly for their Saturday morning craft clubs!!!!!!Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly

If I had crisps Dora ............................... Meh!!!
Interweb acting up - tried a blog post three time and Fffffft - so thinking of switching off and having a night on the sofa with a book.
DS1's training went really well though.

Couldn't agree more
Have done very little work today... Upgrading my laptop is my excuse and I'm sticking to it :cool:0 -
"WANTED - one Ark, any condition considered!!!"
Yup it is still raining - but the good news is that I can actually access the web this morning so things can be shared, posted and responded to.
I thnkthe issue may be weather related and the fact that the HA over the fence have a tree that is now growing up through the phone wires.
Didn't get a peaceful evening though - one of the mentors was in London on business so I got the 8pm - 11pm phone shift from his room. WEll I guess it was either me on UK telly LOL.
So time to get up and at 'em - got productive plans for today (mainly to stop me thinking about mentors conversation last nights - sometimes those guys can still scare me).
