The Ultimate Incentive natters on. Part 9

How have you got £707 in your MM fund already Beccie?! What have I missed?! You need to master these magic rings so you can make a me a crobot!

A lovely lady from another thread e-mailed me that Owl blanket pattern BTW if anyone wants it?

I'm putting another £2.50 in my pot today as I'm too poorly to play badminton so technically it's a cut-back, right?!

That is so sweet of Max CMD! It's scary how quickly everyone's babies are growing up though! :eek:

Congratulations on the payrise/new job Ruby! :j

I don't really feel like I've had a decent weekend, spent it feeling sniffly/coughy/brain fuggy so didn't get out much at all. Was so tempting to call in sick today but I'm at that inbetweeny ill stage where I'm capable of moving so can come to work... but won't be doing much at all for feeling so ill! Got a little crafting done but OH got restless yesterday afternoon so I had to put it all away and entertain him instead! I've noticed that my arms's really sore today and realised that it's from pushing down too hard when I'm cutting things with my craft knife! Think I need a sharper knife!

Some payday savings/debt payments plus wages in from jobs 2 and 3 It will massively slow down if I don't hit eBay though!

I'd love it if you could email the pattern Birdie? I'll thank you in crobots if I ever manage to make one!

Birdie85

PM me your e-mail address Hope it's the right one, I've not even looked at it very closely as I've got no idea what I'm looking at!

Would you like me to email it to you? Looks fairly simple although I will need to master 'magic rings' and so far they have eluded me, hence no progress on the crobots either!

I'm sure you'll get there with it! Practice makes perfect n'all Great going on your MM funds :j You're almost at my total for the month!!

Hope you're feeling better soon, Birdie. Poor you I hate that too sick to properly function, but not sick enough to call work off, feeling. Do you have anyone nice in the office you can guilt into making you lots of lemsips/teas/coffees? What did you make over the weekend?

Sounds like Max had a lovely birthday CMD, so cute!

Birdie - hope you feel better soon. I had a sickness thing sat so had a bit of an ill weekend too.

My MM has started well with £178 saved from council tax and £30 from a survey site. Think i will strugggle more rest of the month though.

They're all rubbish in my office, not a single nurse amongst them! When the others are ill I'm really nice, giving them treats and pills and making them drinks because I don't want their germy hands all over my mug this morning they all just sat around waiting for me to make the drinks as always! Made a big point now of pointing out that I'm not well so hopefully they'll step up and be less lazy, doubt it though!

Didn't actually finish anything crafty this weekend Cinny! Started on 3 mini albums but they're all less than 50% done. The annoying thing is that my printer is low on ink but I hate binning the cartridge just because it's run out of one colour so I was printing pink stuff until that faded so I gave up on that album and started printing yellows for another, that went caput so printed blues and greens for a third album... don't think I can get much else out of it now so I need to stick a new cartridge in and finish printing everything. MSE, yes; efficient, no!

Morning all! Good luck with the interview today Ruby (hope I've got that right) even though I'm sure you won't need it! That would be a lovely pay rise!! I've managed a couple of March Madness things already, need to take stock at lunchtime I think.

Yes Birdie, re your Twitter comment, you've probably caught this off me! I'm not ILL ill just sneezy and foggy headed. Almost didn't go for my run yesterday but surprisingly I felt the best I have in days once I got going and managed my furthest distance ever (8.33 miles!), felt amazing (and only needed two of the whole packet of tissues I took with me!) - feel foggy again today.

Would love a copy of the pattern too if that's OK!! (though my to do list is a mile long) - do you have my email?

Met my new 'nephew' yesterday - he's so tiny :smileyheaFelt sorry for the oldest brother (4) though, the two babies mean he doesn't get a lot of attention - my friend realises this but there's not a lot she can do. I'd love to take him out for the day or something but am scared of having nothing to say! May think on it - he's my little godson after all so we should spend some quality time together...

How was Jamie's and Hairy Bikers last night? What did you eat??

Right back to work for another 15 minutes.....

Shouldn't laugh at your use of the printer catridge Birdie but....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Just sent you a PM

I know I shouldn't be encouraging the spending of money but I signed up to this over the weekend and I am very excited

You should have sneezed in their tea.

PM me Tete, don't think I've got your e-mail.

Is your little godson chatty? I worry about what to say to kids too, but if they're chatty they just kind of lead the conversation anyway. Take him to an interactive museum (and buy him a present!) and it'll give you plenty to talk about. Wish I had close friends with kids so I could take the little ones out for the day, I'd spoil them rotten! Only 5 weeks until my SIL's due date, exciting but scary stuff!

And I was so tempted to sneeze in everyone's tea! It nearly happened actually but did that funny hold-the-sneeze-in thing that makes everything tickle and my nose now really hurts because there's a sneeze stuck in there needing to get out! :rotfl:
