It's par for the course in my office, but we are crazy scientists

Hi All,
Not much of a list from me today, but have had an NSD & have kept the frugal faith:
*Saved a tiny bit of energy by switching off the iron to press the last garment & letting my hair dry naturally after washing.
*Still doing 'Use it up' - Washed my hair with free samples of shampoo & conditioner. Finally binned my mascara after getting at least another 2 weeks of daily use out of it by standing it in a mug of boiling water for a few minutes before applying.
*Free fitness, as spent 2 hours outside digging, clearing & edging a big flower border.
*Meals as per meal plans.
*Downstairs heating still off, but going on in a minute when I've finished this.
*Paid a 50p into my sealed pot.
*All free leisure today - knitting, gardening, reading library book & updating my blog.

Ally - No-one can be disciplined for genuinely having a communicable illness. You don't make a habit of it. Just concentrate on resting & getting shot of the lergy.

OK, that's me.

FVD - That was a low offer indeed. TBH I'm surprised anyone offers so low anymore. Round these parts, its all sealed bids at dawn these days. Seriously. Like if a house is on for £500k for example, offers would need to be at least 550K and then you'll get beaten by another £100k on top. God knows where people find the money to buy this way. So yes, hang on for the best price.

Carrie - We put a bell on our cat. And. It made. No. Difference. Sneaky feline still seemed to decimate/decapitate the mouse population.

Twiggy - Hope the interview has a positive outcome!

Well. I spent today baking. And going to the supermarket. Seriously. 4 trips to the bleeding places. Uhhh...my till still hasnt turned up. I have no float either, so need to run to the bank first thing. I am really pooped.

Dawn - Sorry to hear you had to have tests, glad they went ok though.

Yep, a derelict terraced house in this road (with a hole in the roof, you could see the sky!) sold for £40k more than the asking price so I will be holding out for more than they have offered for sure.

Cheers everyone!

First day back was good. A very quite one and had to entertain the customers by playing Jenga :-D nicely easing me into it. Legs feel like there going to fall off though, lots of walking to school, childminder then work! And then back again! No time to rest lots off jobs to do before bed! Will be easier next week as will prep ds2 meals on the sun all in one go! Getting into the routine will be the key!

Jamie Oliver has this kind of cheats houmouse which is also really nice warmed up:

OR you could make veggie burgers? or chick pea and lamb mince burgers...

I'm a big fan of the chick pea, can you tell? :cool:

Chickpeas are nice in rice with Greek yoghurt on the side.
