    Morning badger, hope you're well. Being a Midlands girl myself I have to say I get very excited when I go to the seaside!:D

    I live in London now and I am getting really tired of it. Maybe a move to the coast will cheer me up!

    Did you make your NSD target in the end? x

    Morning :hello:

    How's things Pencakes? Need to catch up on your diary later.
    I wanted to buy lovely things with my "free" £100, but OH said I should pay it off a CC, which of course was right.


    Hi Aamberle footy was alright, wasn't the first team playing but they got a 1-1 draw. I like pre-season as a lot of the matches are fairly local so I can get to a few.
    How are you?

    Thanks Fae How are you?


    At work today so it will be a fairly boring day, hope that means I can catch up on a few diaries ;)
    They've installed a big telly so we can watch some of the Olympics too (as long as we don't cheer if we get a medal :shhh:)


    Have had a look at today's flylady things, should at least be able to do level one when I get home from work:A

    Morning Badger,

    All good here, hope everything is going well with you too :D

    I hadn't heard of Flylady, just taken at look, looks interesting, I'm finding you pick up lots on interesting things on MSE :)

    We have a TV at work too but it's in the canteen and they won't let me move in there for the duration of the olympics, they seem to have some strange notion that I should be doing this thing called work :eek::rotfl:

    Hmmm maybe the flylady will be good for ironing pile Aamberle? :rotfl:
    I won't be "flying" today, fingers crossed we're getting a "new" fridge freezer tomorrow so need to sort out our freezer tonight and take anything we actually want to keep up to the in-laws.

    Fae I'm absolutely rubbish at housework, so the way the flylady is done in levels and different days should be a good motivator for me instead of trying to get it all done in one go then just losing the willpower to do it or getting distracted by other things.

    Last day at work today *Yippee* and a 3 day week next week *double yippee* it's not been particularly busy though, I've been through my personal emails filing and deleting things (work emails done too - completely empty), only got 14 emails in the inbox now, 4 are different car insurance quotes to remind me to have another look in a week or so. Insurance isn't due until the 23rd, and I get paid on the 20th so I will be sorting it all out then. They aren't having my money any sooner than they need it ;)

    OH wants to see Batman tomorrow night, I'm not too fussed so he can pay lol

    Nothing much else going on. Should have my 3rd NSD of the month today though!!
