    Going hols for a few days tomorrow for the first time in nearly two years (there's space in my suitcase, sunshine!) so just running around the last few things.

    - surprised OH when he woke up with tickets to Zanzibar for tomorrow as a 30th bday present :) He had bought the ruse as well so very surprised!
    - bike everywhere I need to go, running errands for the office
    - breakfast at home, lunch provided by work (vile)
    - exchange UGX to USD and TZS
    - book cab to airport for tomorrow morning (unfortunately no public transport at that hour)
    - pick something up for tea at home while we pack
    - called natwest to file a fraud complaint as my card has been cloned :mad::mad:. They've reversed the charge and will try to get me a new card in the post
    - charge camera and kindle and see if i can borrow some beach reading
    - get cheapo haircut, was getting desperate!

    Have a nice few days, all! I'll be back mid next week.

    Hi all! :hello:

    Have actually been AWOL for AGES but regularly read, it's just a pain in the bum to post from my iPhone as I still haven't replaced the laptop my rabbit chewed a year and half ago! Very MSE!

    Enjoy the holibobs nottobadyet even though I was one of the ones that said don't do it, I have just done exactly the same thing for my OH!!! Although Majorca, not Zanzibar...! Bit jealous!
    Pixie not seen you posting for a while?
    Karb hope all is going OK with the divorce and it's as amicable as possible, don't let her bleed you dry!!!! xxx

    So today has been a big one plus I have some time to myself to use the PC:-

    - Checked banking - looking tight as I have spending money for a week in Paris to pay for including Disney!
    - Did a VO survey - £1.00
    - Netball cancelled due to slippery floor, saves me diesel
    - Afternoon off work to have a tooth out so have also...
    - Reduced mobile contract from £36 to £13 per month
    - Reduced BT from £38 to £27.85 per month
    - Got contents quote from £14.54 to £8.54 per month
    - Took meter reading...getting back to normal now winter is almost gone and storage heaters are off
    - Will shop around for leccy provider as I am on a roll
    - Unable to snack as gaping hole in my mouth...saving £'s and Lb's!
    - Breakfast was from work stores using their milk
    - Dinner will be soup from stores now I can feel my face again!

    Right I am off now, now I've shown my face I'll go missing for another 6 months....lots of love!!!!

    Good Morning All

    Moments of brilliant sunshine followed by really dark skies, hoping this weather improves soon. Both me and LO have got really sore throats and generally feeling really rubbish. Not really feeling up to much today so anything that gets done will be an achievement.

    sunshine - thanks for starting us off

    Hi to all the regulars and welcome to all the newbies.

    Today I will:

    Check Banks - Done
    Check swapits -Done
    Work (11.30-1.30) - Called in sick, not sure a school kitchen should be subjectd to my germs
    Keep up to date with surveys -
    Keep on top of emails -
    Quick tidy round -
    Ironing -
    Update food tracker (35.5lb off) - in progress
    Read -
    Comps - Done a few
    Early night - Off to bed soon

    Hope you all had a great day, love you all.

    C xx

    Dont really feel I've done much today but sleep and a bit of washing (which was line drying until LO woke me to tell me I'd fallen asleep and it was now raining), but I am now feeling much better although I still cant speak properly.

    I have/will:

    - bought my own lunch in
    - checked online banking - nothing too bad there! ;)
    - have a NSD :)
    - make chicken fajitas for tea from stores, but add in lots of bits of veg that need eating pronto - hopefully there might be some left for tomorrow if DH doesn't eat it all :p

    Have a good day everyone!

    Regular posters will know that I'm going through a divorce at the moment and am trying to save towards the costs. It's pay day tomorrow, so I've transferred everything left in my current account into my savings account.

    [/QUOTE]

    Sounds like a great plan, well done and keep up the great work, we are all behind you cheering you on :T
