  • been waiting for about an hour for someone to pick up a hutch I am selling on preloved.

    this is the fourth time (as in day) we have arranged pick up......... my :j is turning into :mad: I really want it to go tho.

    It is all very well to say it makes me money but right now I think my time could have been better spent.

    *drums fingers on the table*

    and the sun is setting too. and we have visitors tomorrow and I have to go out to get a bloody present. God I am ANNOYED.

    ooo text saying five mins away......

    fingers crossed!
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Wooo Hoo she arrived! Cash in hand and she was very nice!

    so I am glad it is going to her!

    right well, my day has got away from me! I forgot I had a facial booked so there was that and then the whole waiting in for the hutch lady situation.

    Still all good in the end!!

    pondering what to do!
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • On paper today should have been a nice day. It was overall I guess. Just had this awful stomach pain all day - all week in fact now I think about it and it did take the shine off my facial. then hutch lady - lovely but late and then mum just seems so tired :( am so worried about her.

    anyhow.

    the dog just licked the laptop

    *waits for it to explode*

    hmm

    so I cleaned out the fish, changed the setting on the filter on one tank and it looks like they are being swept away a bit. This is as exciting as my life gets- for which I am grateful actually.

    Jane Fonda looks AMAZING.

    am watching newsroom.

    Eating M and S Belgian Flaked Truffles. also amazing.

    so tomorrow I have to

    1. go shopping
    2. tidy up the front room

    oops dog asleep on lap too hard to type x
    3.

    so as ever I am thinking and planning (and not really doing much)

    Have deleted my online dating profile. it simply isn't working in it's current form.

    I have booked two more facials so the next one I pay for will be in Feb.

    I haven't used my CC, did have to use cash card as I wanted to pay for all my facials - amazingly had the much of the money saved! and my Christmas present to myself is getting my nails done. All paid for.

    Also forgot to say, I have paid for my car tax - saved up! AND I have 30 quid towards next year's.

    Also have 160 saved for the dogs, so that is the 100 pound excess on their insurance and something towards their booster jabs.

    I have *borrowed* 100 pounds from my Christmas fund to cover some presents and the nails and a facial but that is ok as in the long run as it means I don't owe any money (well except the CC!) in terms of bills and I can pay it back on payday.

    I still don't know how much I am getting paid.........

    so have rambled a lot today. still it has been head clearing.

    It is 5 weeks till Christmas. 4 weekends.

    !!!! that has come round fast!

    The last three weekends have been a real bust re decluttering and I don't know why. I suppose I got drunk last week :) but the other two....just me being too tired -read lazy! to do it.

    SO to be ready by the 15th I NEED to sort out my crap during next weekend.

    Am going to look on the Christmas thread. XX

    Hi Buffy just catching up with you. I expect by now you've scoffed all those truffles! Sounds like you're on track finance wise. Facials are a great way to relax - I used to have them regularly in my previous life. I might look out for a Groupon type deal.

  • Trust me to miss the chocolate!!

    Hope you had a good day today Xx

  • Morning diary readers,

    I feel yuck and ordinarily I would go to work but I decided after feeling so rotten all week and most of the weekend that I should stay at home. Aside from the terrible tummy ache I now have earache (!?!?) so just think a day off will do me good. I will not do what I did in my old job and go to work even when I feel dreadful. just not worth it.

    although I feel a bit rough I think I might try and tidy up my room today. I also have work work to do.


    just had to disappear to the bathroom :o SO glad I decided to stay home:o:o:o:o

    ahem...moving on!

    cannot believe Doctor Who is 50!

    Really looking forward to the show on Saturday.

    guess I had better get started on something.

    catch you all later.

    xxx
