I'm happily checked into my posh hotel for the night. I've spent the last hour going around touching things and saying 'oooh'. I arrived at the desk at exactly 3pm to get the maximum amount of time in my room. They have this faux fur throw on the bed that is the softest thing I've ever felt. I may have also jumped up and down on the bed a bit once the concierge left

So is it big enough for a game of Hotel-Room Olympics? Sporting events as suggested by Bill Bryson...
- wastebin basketball
- furniture steeplechase
- jumping on to the bed by means of a swing on the bathroom door and a well-timed leap
And a personal favourite, jumping from one bit of furniture to another without landing on the floor:)
Oh, and to relax, tip all the complimentary toiletries into a hot bath (all the toiletries, mind:D).

Good afternoon:wave:

I've spent the morning cooking a delicious piece of t finest gammon.. Reduced of course. Not as good as some of you get in your locals but £11 ish down to £7 and chopped in half to make two joints.. I'm happy with that.

cjj it doesn't matter how simple or shallow your goals are in life...as long as you feel you have achieved them:) and give yourself the recognition when you have:)

Mine last year was to make more of an effort to have time for myself I started off simply 2 minutes applying my favourite moisturiser after a bath, progressing to applying a bit of makeup and doing my hair properly (just showing it a brush didn't count:rotfl: before the school run:) I think we all loose our identity once we become someone's mum/mummy we forget the person we were before they arrived and become the "no time for ourselves" frantically wading from one task to the next without time to stop and think or appreciate what life has given us. Mine this year is to develop my above routine a little further with my clothing... I've treat myself to quite a few new items in the sales and as its my birthday in a week mums going to give me some pennies towards them instead of the usual toiletries, I've still loads left from last year. This is in the hope that it will give me the incentive to choose something different other than the skinny jeans I wore yesterday just because they are the nearest.

What ever you choose for your goal I'm sure you will achieve them and I wish you the very best for 2015:)



For anyone who hasn't fallen asleep during my ramble:rotfl: I too wish you the best for 2015 here's to health and happiness and some exciting new glitches along the way:beer:

What a fab post:T:T

Hope you've recovered from last night.....I know you were a bit upset. It's a new year ....new start and all that stuff........ put that particular "friend" way way behind you.:T:o

I also got this (from S) today. The b*ggars in Sains. (that's beggars;), probably cheeky ones:rotfl:) are putting the price down to £1.25 'tomorrow' (probably day after?). Excellent today for me though as it now proves I could not have done this shopping on Saturday! (Would now have required some other expensive item instead:( and to be much cheaper in A.)

I bought one bottle at £2.50:D - yes, yes, yes:j:j - nice contribution to the £20 cond spend amount and more contribution to the BM back than a useless £1.25 vs 98p! Tomorrow (or whenever this is actually £1.25), this will be rubbish:(:rotfl:! So, well done, I bought on the right day again:D.

Tropicana Trop50 Orange & Mango Juice Drink - No Added Sugar (1L)



[Strike]£2.50[/Strike]:j £1.25:(

[Strike]£2.48[/Strike] 98p

Don't know why I'm telling you, as no good for people now:rotfl::rotfl:.
Bearing in mind this is a spend involving effectively "free" Nectar points, and not points of the "pay £1 to get just one penny worth" variety:( - therefore, ordinarily, I would not otherwise have been matching an expensive price like 98p of course:rotfl:.
