    It was so frustrating yesterday, our internet service was down (Virgin Media) and much of what I wanted to do needed the internet. Hence why I didn't even list all of my top 10.

    Happy Happy wednesday everyone xxx take care of yourselves it's cold out there;)

    Hope you all have a good day!!

    Forgot - i need to check my medication cos something not right - i only have 1 set of tablets instead of 2 :(sorted thankfully - after phoning about like a mad thing discovered they had fallen down the back of the drawer - whew!! :cool:

    Also decided to start a survey challenge on here - just aiming for 1 a day to try and get my survey mojo back - got fed up with them a while ago but have made a decent amount on them so needs must and all that!

    Great to see everyone back on - and some lovely relaxing has been done i see :D MiaowMiaow it did make me laugh when i read your no chocolate one and noticed it wasn't marked off :rotfl: no mission of me not eating chocolate so it did make me giggle - though if you are finding it hard you can always have chocolate milk to satisfy the choccy monster :D


    Oooops forgot to say thats 6 :):):):):):) for me today!!
