    More thinking aloud before bed. Should definitely take lessons from you Brizzled, your savings pots are impressive.

    I *think* the furniture I bought from Argos
    did I not mention that? oh.....well that might have been charged already even tho I can't get it till Friday.

    Also I LOVE Daniel Craig.

    hmm. Well about the furniture, It is a desk chair (40) and a chest of drawers(70), my current one only fits under one set of shelves and with the clear out I can use a smaller one and move the furniture around (AGAIN for the love of God) to accommodate the rabbit cage. the current system works but I have no desk. This means I work downstairs - get hot and tired and the dogs want to sit with me. it means I never get anything finished. And with the dreaded o word on the horizon I need a desk.

    Right now I need bed. thanks Brizzled XX

    woke up to half the house without electric.

    have upset tummy. Electricity fixed but I really want to go to bed.

    yesterday was NOT MSE. I need boots, another cardigan, socks and leggings for winter. So I bought them. 50 quid.

    and then I had dinner out - but 50% off thanks to my genius friend! so it was about 15 quid.

    thing is I am saving 350 this month so it is not all bad.

    Glad that you are feeling better.

    What self help books? What are you needing help with? Try to enjoy your time off my friend and not frantically try and squeeze an unrealistic amount of everything in then feel guilty for not getting it done before going back to work :iloveyou:
