    I just read that someone has stolen Sarah Payne's mum's computer. Not only does the poor lady have research work fighting !!!!!philia on there she also has pictures of her daughter who was so tragically murdered. I do hope there is some honour amongst the criminal community and it is handed back.:(

    I remember my shock a few years ago when hearing that Kevin Keegan was robbed. A national hero. Shame.

    Throat kills when I do admin tomorrow I am writing notes. lol.

    I have had a lovely day today. I met up with a friend at 1pm and had a coffee and a chat (albeit quietly) then I did a fabulous food shop of whoopsied things from my local supermarket and some bargains from the Poundshop.

    Total spend £27.00 for a weeks shopping, a day out and travel :j
    Throat is killing me. Yikes. Complete rest now I think.

    Hello my lovely, I have had lots of hot drinks but can't do honey as am diabetic. I was planning to do admin at work instead of teaching next week I don't know if that is such a good idea as I can't avoid talking. Yikes. I will see what my GP says tomorrow.

    Payday in 7 days. Can't wait!

    I did my current account switch over the internet tonight. It took 5 mins. I think it is set up. Hurrah. I hope I get the bonus advertised thank you Martin and MSE team for letting me know about it. Yay.

    Morning, I have completely lost voice today. Lol. so I am texting everyone and no phonecalls at all. I was starting to enjoy having those.

    I might go on cross dresser to make me lose some weight as then I can try to make something positive out of it I suppose. I can't moan or swear when I am exercising lol.

    Dr says they are referring me to hospital for throat to find out what the problem is. Dr said if there is a miracle i will be able to go to work oh dear.

    I'm off work for next two weeks at least. Cross dressing here i come. I could lose a lot of weight with that.

    I did 5 mins on the cross dresser. When i get depressed i will do some more later. i think spacing it out will make me less likely to have a heart attack as i have become really unfit. Also drinking water is good for my throat and so is the deep breathing and it will stop me getting down. I have two more weeks of this and hopefully by then the hospital will write to me.

  • Well done on the bank switch SW hope you get the bonus


    Sorry to hear about your throat :( I suppose its good that you know now before you tried to go back to work and ended up being off again. Hope the hospital referral is quick and can sort you out :D


    Don't overdo it on that cross trainer you don't want to be huffing and puffing too much and hurting your throat more x

    I am so embarrassed I did 5 minutes. I was going to go again but it rained and I didn't want to go to the garage as it's wet outside.

    My hairdresser cut my hair and I topped up my phone. (Total spend today is £25)

    6 days till payday, not that I have a one track mind or anything:)

  • I would agree with Skint yet again Savingwannabe - take it easy on that cross trainer if you are not feeling too good!
    I think I will try to do a bank account switch soon. Glad it was so quick & easy, that gives me hope. Who did you go with if you don't mind me asking?

    Everybody is counting the days until payday, lol! Next month though is a 5 week one for me.
  • Hello, TSB as I have done the others over the last few years. I only did 5 mins today. Let's say I wont be tiring myself out for a while.:rotfl:
