    Hi hypno, hi folks

    Wow, its great putting it that way - more than a tenth of the way there! No wonder you're so tired every night, with all that you're doing. Enjoy the Chinese buffet, sounds lovely! I was in a quick supermarket trawl yesterday with a friend, and she told me she uses garam masala all the time - uh, I know its not Chinese! - and since I really need to get my act together on seasonings, I bought some. 100g for a whole 42p! Now *thats* moneysaving...

    Won't be on again after this visit, am off to London for some free Continuing Professional Development (it can cost £90 a day, this is two hours free for the cost of the train fare, as well as keeping up professional acquaintances) so a good deal all round.

    Stay well!

    Wish I'd managed a lie in.
    Was so tired gave up on watching Dancing with the Stars and crashed about 10pm unfortunately my bodyclock decided I only needed my usual amount of sleep-and I woke up wide awake at 4.30am <sigh>
    Every time you go to the ski club you seem to add to the total so will be back later to see what magic you've worked today !

    Oh duchy you are so right - came home from the ski club to find that DS had won another £10 for a ski related comp. They belong to a site for "budding champs" and there is a very generous sponsor who has different comps each week for the kids to enter, knowing that the money he sends goes to help their equipment purchase etc. In the last couple of weeks, they have won £30 between them, so when it arrives it will go straight in the fund!

    I also had a couple of fundraising ideas first thing, so will do a little thinking and research etc before seeing if they are viable, and if so, putting them into action!

    Something that ends tomorrow on ebay has a bid of £4.99 so that is all good too. I am not counting paypal etc until the money actually hits the account - just in case it gets waylaid on the way!!

    Oh, and I'm not jealous of anyone who manged a lay-in today. NO, NOT JEALOUS AT ALL!!!!!

    I know what you mean about the lie-in Hypno, ds woke me up at 5:30 asking if it was time yet for his football lesson :mad: Then he got in my bed and decided to sing to me till I got up. I finally gave in at 6:45 then we got showered and went off to his lesson. I feel zonked already and its not even lunch-time :D

    Morning Hypno and all...that total grows day by day..you are doing fantastic..I wish I had some cartridges to send you...my printer is hardly ever used but when I do finish with them you are welcome to them!!!!...you'll probably not need them then though...
    It amazes me to see the amount that that total goes up day by day...
    Enjoy your lunch it sounds yummy
  • sorry totel you but I did have a lie in but needed it due to side effects of G&T! :rotfl: :rotfl: These things always seem ike a good idea at the time! Have to say I am, sort of, in with LJ on the children vs lie in! Mind you cats also dont get what Sat means! Keep up the good work! I'm off to look at the instructions for clicks which I've been putting off! Have a great day!
