    Hi Mr E - it was the 2nd win in 2 weeks :beer: I'd love a third and preferably with a few more zero's on the end :p

    Phew it's been a long day! Glad to be home and sitting down

    Work was uneventful - though this evening was more interesting (if you can call it that :rotfl:)

    I went hospital visiting to see one of my friends has just had a baby girl a few weeks earlier than expected. All is fine with baby and mum but they are keeping them both in for a while to keep an eye on them as the baby is so small (4lb 9oz) I had a lovely visit and was just getting ready to leave and ended up having a bit of a funny turn. Not at all like me. Came over all faint and my friend said I went very pale! The nurses made me sit down and wouldn't let me leave until they were happy with me.Took me another hour before I got away.

    I think it was just because it was VERY warm in the hospital but I suspect not having had much to eat or drink for a while probably didn't help. I was quite embarrassed :o However, as my friend pointed out... I was in the right place if it had of been worse :cool:

    In money news - £7 OP which was some cash expenses I had due back

    I haven't updated figures yet for the end of May and will get back with that later in the week.

    Morning

    I'm pleased to say the rest of the week passed without any more funny turns or faint moments :T
    In money news - £2.47 OP made (cashback) and made it a week with no spending except for weekly grocery shop so that's quite a result (for me anyway!)

    I've updated my figures for last month too and have knocked another month off my mortgage :j I definitely seem to have reached that point where even small amounts are making a noticable difference. I know it really does all help but I can 'see' the effects more the last few months

    Anyone want more :coffee:? I know I do ;)

    Have a great weekend

    BW :)

    Pleased that you're feeling better. I did reply to that message but it seems to have disappeared :eek: MSE has been playing up this week though so maybe it wasn't the gremlins.

    Well done on the op - every little helps. :) It's fab being able to see the difference isn't it. It really makes it all worthwhile.

    Ooh yes please, I'd love a cuppa. I bought a new :coffee: today so it's the perfect time to try it out. I'll bring the white chocolate cookies. ;)

    Hope you're having a good weekend.

    Hi Bookworm, glad to hear you have had no more funny turns, I think the lighting in wards can make you go a bit funny too. Hope mum and baby are doing well.

    Well done on knocking another month off too, that's great!

    I'm the opposite, relish taking the grottiest mugs that I can find from our flat into work knowing that I'll drop or lose them eventually :rotfl:

    Sorry to hear that you didn't win the lottery. As Mrs E and I say when a MB offer doesn't work, someone else has 'hogged the luck' ;)

    I'll take that :coffee: if the offer stands...
