It feels like the skittles all over again but I didn't eat much yesterday and what I did eat was pretty healthy stuff and ds had the same as me and he's fine :rolleyes: He wants some lunch now ... he got his own brekkie out the fridge but cant reach the cupboard for the bread :rolleyes:

Hi, it's me again I was just looking at the OS daily thread for today on the Old Style board. There is a post on there by clearvisor, no.37, with a link, about the benefits of Manuka honey for all kinds of ailments. Sorry, can't do linky things, but you might want to check it out. XX

Awww sorry you're still rough, not nice. I'm struggling on at work with my cold, runny nose, tickly cough and sore throat

How about the 24th Nov? Might me a tad chilly for the beach but sure we can come up with something?

Hiya hon. Hope you are both feeling better. I've really missed being able to catch up with all my faves. Site very slow though and last night Tiscali was playing up too. Grr. Look forward to hearing all your latest. XX

Oh dear diary .... how I've missed you !!!!

Its sooo lovely to be back !!! So, whats been happening in my world .... well, I spent friday and saturday with my head down the toilet :eek: :eek: Sunday I felt better but had no energy whatsoever and didn't do much, and then yesterday was back to work
On a moneysaving front I haven't done much AQA'ing due to the sickie bug, but at the moment my total is up to £104 :T :T However, my overdraft is up to about £200 :eek: :eek: I did realise thi is partly due to my tax credits not being updated since I started my new job (my income is lower now), so I did phone them up and am waiting for the paperwork to arrive to tell me what my new figure will be, so hopefully I will be getting a bit more there
I did go looking at other sited while mse was down and spent £22 on tesco delivery (was £38 before discounts though ) and £33 on Thorntons website, but the rrp was £70 though and it is all for xmas hampers and I have transferred the money across from my xmas savings account too
Tomorrow is payday, so hoping to be able to sort out the new months budget soon!! Tonight I have carved a pumpkin for ds and have to go and put up some halloween decs nos for him ... also need to write a cheque for him to take to school tomorrow for a school trip to a pantomime in January :A .... oh and he had to pay for his school disco ticket today (£1.80) ... and he put his 50p first-ever-pocket-money towards it Bless him!! Start 'em young!!!

Well it was payday today and it was better than expected :j :j I got the missing pay from last month and they've sorted out my tax code so got a tax rebate as well ... am off to work out my figures for the month but I reckon I will only need to find about £70 for my overdraft but will update properly in a bit ... x
Today I have spent £14 on pantomime tickets for me and ds (school trip), £2 sponsorship and £1.90 on lunch.

Today I had a cheque in the post from my solicitors for stuff from when I moved house .... for £2.35 :rotfl: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Hey ho, it all counts I suppose !!
I have spent £1.90 on lunch today. Still need to figure out the accounts was too tired last night, will probably do it on saturday
Had my induction at the gym at work tonight, and tomorrow night I'm helping out at ds school disco so may not be around much till the weekend. Hopefully then I'll be able to sort out the months money and sort out xmas stuff

That reminds me, benben, I had a cheque today for $2 from Harris - a dollar cheque, what good is that to anyone!!

Are you fully recovered now?
