    I have job prep today and will have to be ultra careful I don't use this as one of my many procrastination tools .....

    Today's plans:
    *Read some boring literature
    *Think up potential questions
    *Think up show stopper work based examples (this one might take me some time!!!)
    *Write at least 500 words for uni assignment
    *Not procrastinate

    How's it going so far, Natty? Anything we can do to cheer you on?
    Great minds must think alike as I also need to get back on the MF bandwagon so have to dig out my old diary (if I can find it!)

    Your most recent one seems to be here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5251947

    Hope all's well with you, Tyo. :hello:

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Gad - would you bliming well believe it, some more visitors Radish, TYO, Brizzle, Pavlovs and tattycath, I'm so happy to see you all MWHAH, MWHAH, MWHAH X

    I failed miserably on the 500 words, however did make patatas bravas and even if I do say so myself, they are frickin' delicious. The sun has been out and I only procrastinated a teeny tiny bit to wander round the garden and pull up a few weeds - Radish much bush trimming urgently required ;)

    I am now trying very, very hard to NOT have any wine however there is no chocolate in the house and I am starting to feel the shakes come on regarding this. Must. Stay. Strong. It helps that I look a total state and CBA getting myself ready for public consumption :eek:

    Hope it's been a sunny day for everyone and I WILL make an effort visiting diaries and catching up with your news. I'm due to post a twig photo on MWCs diary so best do that lest she sets the chooks on me!

    Thank you all again X

    Jezzy peeps - less than 24 hours back and already made tea from ingredients already in the house PLUS HM shortbread in the oven, rather than visit the shops (as would have been the norm).

    At this rate I'll be MF in no time:D

    Erm... nearly finished dissertation - just need to tidy it up and hand it in. Apart from that all going well thanks.

    House getting there, need to get flat up for sale soon but walking up a hill held much more appeal today :D

    Hope you managed to avoid procrastination!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hey Natty - welcome back! Nice to "see you" again :)
