    I hate those days - especially inbetween paydays!

    Hope you have a better day today.:)

    Thanks MCI

    Yes, today is better :D Tuesday is team meeting day and it always sucks the life out of me...

    The days are getting longer :T and it was light when I came into work this morning. As I drove past, there were racehorses running on the heath which never fails to make me smile :)

    Today I have:

    - requested payment of £9.83 from TCB and noticed that a £15 referral from last year has confirmed
    - received a letter from Nationwide confirming that, following this month's OP, the further advance will be paid in 12 years and 5 months - actually aiming for less than half that...
    - had a veg box delivered for the first time in yonks (£13.45)
    - made spicy carrot & butterbean soup for dinner
    - collected 2 eggs (Miss B and Miss M)

    :j:j:j What colour and names and egg shapes :j:j:j
    . Can we name them, can we, can we, can we.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Miss Gallygirl, Miss Tillytidy and Miss Nattypants do have a certain ring about them...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I always give my chickens old lady names and I'm considering Beryl, Ethyl and Gladys. Happy to receive suggestions :D

    Best not go for Nattypants - it's asking for trouble :eek:. All names good but Beryl & Ethel don't sound right together. What about Betty & Ethel :D.
