    I made mars bar (well L*dl own brand) rice krispie cake yesterday, had a piece and it's yummy but very sickly lol

    Didn't have a NSD yesterday as had to buy a few bits from the shops smiley-sad027.gif

    Possibly premature celebrations :mad: I have had a letter with a cheque for £3 attached to it - the amount my account was in credit by.
    Ah that would be the £3 I left in there to cover the OD charges due to be applied to my account then!!:mad:
    I rang them and they can't help me as my account isn't on the system.:mad:

    Afternoon!!

    Have you made your Herman yet Fae?

    Nothing much to report... apart from rain, rain and more rain Rain-animated-animation-rain-smiley-emoticon-000400-large.gif I think I will have to go a different route home because the puddles were already spreading right across the roads at 06.30 this morning afraid-male-afraid-frightened-smiley-emoticon-000293-medium.gif

    Hopefully today should be a no spend day again, Fingers-crossed-fingers-crossed-goodluck-luckiness-smiley-emoticon-000674-medium.gif
    Yesterday was definitely not as we went to Mr S, very rarely go to a SM and do a "shop" we might go and pick up bits and bobs for tea if we fancy it, so spending £27 in one go was a bit of a shock to me :rotfl:Did get a few bits for meals though.

    Managed to get home fine yesterday, had to down the A roads rather than my usual B roads. There's not much in it time wise but it's further distance wise.
    I came the usual way this morning and there's just a few puddles now.
    It actually looks like a glorious day now sunshine-012.gif shame I'm at work.

  • DM phoned earlier and she's totally marooned! :eek:

    Touch wood, they're OK where they are but all the surrounding roads are impassible at various points so they can't actually get anywhere.

    Really hope it stops soon!:eek:
