Good Morning folks . Bright and cold here in the South East .
Never pay more than you have too0 -
morning Elite!

feeling better today :j For a moment I was playing with the idea to ride a few Boots stores this morning but decided it's not that I'm desperate for anything from there and it will be better if I stay here, tidy up a little, prepare the duck in oranges&honey for dinner, have a lovely bath and wait for bf to take me to T after his interview/trial
silently hope for a nice glitch at T

My baths are always intended to be an uber relaxing experience, however the bath taps running always send a subliminal message to DH that its time for a poo!!:eek: Everytime without fail!! Cant wait till phase 3 of renovations are complete & we have a 2nd bathroom!
(Gosh I hope he never reads this he'd be mortified!!):rotfl:
:eek::eek::eek: how lovely!
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::eek::eek::eek::eek: You don't recycle?
Very little here goes into landfill.......and once you start recycling it becomes second nature.
Don't your council provide you with recycle bins?
We have a grey one for landfill which is collected every fortnight
A Brown bin for compost stuff ie grass cuttings, leaves, weeds, kitchen waste
Then we have clear sacks for plastics and metal
And Blue sacks for all paper and cardboard
I take all our glass bottles to Morrisons or Sainburys bottle bank along with drinks cartons and any old clothes, bedding etc.
:o:o we don't recycle either
:o:o
Silly excuses but I don't have enough space in the kitchen to keep all the rubbish separate nor enough time to do it properly...

Started the day with lots of OH NO!'s
... ladder in DD's tights, DS grabbed a big pot of yogurt out of the fridge and decided to 'ski' across the floor- :mad:
Yog went flying and spilled all over a rag-rug. Really messy. I knew that if I took a (scotch-brite :cool:) sponge to it, that it would just grind it all in, so I thought I'd scrape it off...
got on hands and knees with a big serving spoon, and what happens??? DS asks - Are you going to eat it????
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Noooooo!
Do you think we are taking this MSE thing too far!?!?!? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Have a good one all!

Sorry was meant to be going to bed, but something nagged at me to check my banking, being an idiot I have used the wrong card and now £40 over drawn but I don't have an overdraft so god knows what will happen! :mad:
If it's the first time it's happened, it's always worth phoning your bank and explaining ... they have been known to listen sometimes (this is from someone who hates banks with a vengance).0 -

Morning all! Sorry I have been quiet recently (not that I ever have much to say lol!!). I had struggled to keep up with the thread since HC was taken from us
I have a couple of mini health problems which have started to play up - namely vertigo and IIH (Idiopathic intracranial hypertension) It means in the mornings I really struggle to settle my head and so seem to be running behind all the time. I only mention it here as I am interested if anyone else has IIH? I was only diagnosed late last year after the usual scans and a lumbar puncture and know so little about it!!
Anyway hope everyone has a good day today! xxx0
