Well it's the only way I'll get anywhere near 10 this month!! :rotfl: :rotfl:0

Well, here we are at 10pm and I have actually MADE IT! :j :j :j
My third NSD this month!! :j :j :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -
Oops, I was so excited there I just had to go and update my signature straight away
I'm considering aiming for a NSD tomorrow too... :eek: Risky indeed!! But I *think* I can do it if I'm careful...
Out on fieldwork - danger zones are buying cups of tea with cheery office mate on the train in both directions:rotfl: That's probably £3 in total - so I am going to make tea in cheery travel mug, then follow KC's suggestion and take teabag and milk for the way back too
Even if i'm too sheepish to use it I will still have saved the one on the way there
:rotfl:
Only other danger zone is getting a taxi home... Theoretically I could probably claim for it, but I know our project budget is rather squeaky and it's not strictly 'necessary'. But then the train will probably get in around 7pm, so I won't get home til nearly 8...
Ah - maybe I can bribe Mr Cheery to collect me from the station instead
Wish me luck...0 -
Hmm - just been quickly investigating gym options for when I get back (mine runs out end of March)
They still have the same offer on - 3 months for £80. This is peak time, and you can get it for £60 off peak or £35 if you only use it 7-11am, and not at all at weekends...
Trouble is, I mostly go in the evenings :rotfl:
Decisions, decisions...0 -
I would think you would use it more this time what with training for you triathlon.
