    Now youve said it, you have to do it ;) i fully expect you on the list innnnnnnnn . . :think: . . . 5th place :T

    Im not feeling as bad today but have been taking pain killers, knew I was bad yesterday as I couldn't finish me roast dinner :eek: something that has never happened in the history of me eating solids :o. Unfortunately this is the downside of no immune system, once I get one thing they all come along like buses :(



    Beat you tooooooooooooooooo it! :rotfl: We did the big spring clean last week and ebayed all the carp, only got DH's shed left and he is very reluctant to let me in there :rotfl: Im begininng to think hes housing a family of illegal immigrants down there :think: :rotfl:

    It is DH's birthday today . . 42 years old :D, he is currently at work and has been bouncing around for a week to know what I have got him that could take 3 months to sort out :D. Been out and wasted £1.79 on a birthday card for him as the £1 shop didnt have a husband one :o I really begrudge paying that kind of money for something that 90% of recipients only want for the hope there is money inside :rotfl:.

    Have got him a little cake and also 4 blueberry muffins and the kids have spent the morning writing and decorating a label each to go round their present for him (a home made jar of retro sweets for £4.30 rather than the £15 a shop would want :D)

    Also had a good clear up so the house is lovely and tidy now :D

    It took 3 months to sort out a little cake and 4 blueberry muffins??! :D

    Do you know how excited I am? My fabric has just arrived from America!!! I can make my incredibly geeky quilt now :D well once I've washed and dried the fabric. Hmmm I wonder if I could use a hairdryer to speed up the process :p

    Today is an allocated spend day, so I've spent £30 on purse frames, keyfob hardware, and cotton webbing so that I can make keyfobs and coin purses from the 8 gorgeous 1/2 yd fabrics I also bought.

    Oh and I've paid off another £1 to the credit card, and and and my expenses have been approved so I shall have pennies in my account on Thursday to *fingers crossed* almost pay off the c/c :D

    Well finally I can see the light clearing. Just had a look at the council tax and it says I should be a band C rather then a band D.

    Just been very happy to update all my debts with the bank and got a well done from the bank. Feeling so amazingly positive today.

    A biut bummed out as payday is on a Sunday so hence they shift it to a Monday which is a pain.

    I'm starting to feel super organised this is a bit scary!
  • Hi all, thank you for the kind messages. Can't focus at all on work today. OH is on holiday this week before his OP so hopefully he's tidying up round the flat a bit.

    Jemma - Our friend loved the flat, she can't wait to come visit again.

    My amusement for the day has come in the form of being Fedex'd 5 dishwashers at work.
