    Morning

    We went to see two stand up comedians on Saturday night, which was about the same time as a bug decided to hit me smiley-sick007.gif couldn't eat anything yesterday so I'm really weak today, not gone into work although I have managed a small bowl of cereal this morning.

    Saturday was a NSD and yesterday I just bought a bottle of Luc0zade.

    Had all the details for my Halif@x reward account this morning :) I didn't switch while I was doing the application but I've got a couple of DDs I can move, I'll take the form into a branch in the week & hopefully I'll still qualify for the £100.

    Morning Badger sorry to hear you've been unwell :( I used to live off Lucozade sweets when I was poorly, it was the only thing I could keep down.

    An extra £100 for moving banks is very helpful! Hope you get it :)

    Morning

    Thanks everyone, I'm feeling better now I could eat stuff again yesterday but I still feel shattered. I could've quite easily gone back to sleep again this morning. Only today to get through and then it's my days off, come back on nights though so I'll try not to think about that too much.

    Petrol light has come on this morning :mad: I'll only stick a fiver in though until I can get to Mr T and use one of the vouchers DM has for me.

    Now where did I put those comedy glasses with the eyes painted on sleep-f-animated-animation-female-smiley-emoticon-000388-large.gif

    Hope today isn't too tough :grouphug: and I hope the petrol lasts until you can use a voucher :)

    Woooooooooooooooooooooo they've put a proper coffee machine in our office Coffee-coffee-female-drink-smiley-emoticon-000537-medium.gif as I told the man installing it this is one of the best days of my working life... I also came back to work to find out I'd won £45 on the bonus ball on Saturday Happy-Grin-Happy-Grin-smile-teeth-smiley-emoticon-000986-medium.gif it will just get spent on normal things instead of taking out cash or using my debit card but means I have £45 to put into my car insurance pot.

    Oops forgot I've got to put a fiver in the car on the way home Driving-Girl-driving-car-steering-wheel-smiley-emoticon-000688-medium.gif oh well!!
