    Hey MT, happy birthday for tomorrow! Be totally selfish, tell him as its your birthday if he mentions anything negative you will need to charge him a pound! It does seem a little strange to text you that though, but boys think different to us girls!

    Fantastic de-cluttering as well! Not so good about the explosion, will take from that that you are not hurt thank goodness, hope you can get that electrician in soon to make sure your safe!!

  • Hurrah for your decluttering and fab that you gave stuff to BHF - so will help make people well and hopefully also make its new owner happy as well as being eco friendly! Triple karma win!

    I have to disagree about the Baileys though, I'd say it ended up where it belongs :rotfl:

    Your trainee's request is a little odd - especially if he knows it's your birthday. Perhaps it was just an emotional-moment text.

    Have a totally fabulous day tomorrow :T

    Thank you Miss Shoes. I will have a wander over to your diary in the next few days.

    I would like to move to Norfolk, but with everything up in the air at work I can't make any solid decisions right now. Ideally I'd like to sell my house and rent for a few months so that I can really weigh up my options without any anchors. That's my current goal.

    Mr 3TL is a very sad situation that I still have struggle moments with at times. But you're both very right that unless or until he makes me a priority then I do my best to push him to the back of my mind.

    Thank you for your lovely words. MTx

    Thank you Jodles. I think I could earn quite a few £1 on your suggestion! :D

    I wasn't hurt at all, and it will push me to book an electrician for next week. Getting more things out of the house, especially larger furniture is very exciting for me.

    I'll pop along for your updates shortly.

    Thank you Rosa. Triple whammies are the best when it comes to clearing out. I send a lot of stuff to BHF so also have their gift aid details and they send lovely emails letting me know how much they got for my things.

    I totally forgot to replenish the Baileys, so I obviously don't want any that much! :)

    Thank you for the fab day wishes. MTxx

    I'm still at work!!! I arrived at 6:45am and am still here!!! Such a busy day and I promised a few people I'd get their work done and then, obviously, another urgent project landed on my desk pushing everything back. I'm currently waiting for a video to render so I can upload it to a website. I've got 4 of these to do and they're taking ages to upload!

    I haven't prepared my show for tomorrow yet and I'm out for breakfast with my Mum! I'll be doing a show on my birth year with various bits of information, so I'm sure I'll be ok.

    Pay day on Monday! Wooh! I have a decent amount in my clothes budget now too so may treat myself one day next week!

    I have 2 weeks off once these videos are finished! I'm not back in the office until 15th March! Plus, a lovely client sent an email to my new Director about how helpful and knowledgeable I am!!! So that's taken the edge off a late work night. :D

    Have a lovely evening all, and it's almost the end of the week! I do love a Birthday Friday! Especially if it's all sparkly and glittery outside with the frost. A blinging birthday! :cool:

    During my lunch break I went onto my main account that I've just requested my salary to now be paid to. I created a connection from that account to all other accounts, so that when I get paid on Monday I can send that £1000 off for a little walk around those accounts to meet reward criteria. Thanks to YNAB I also know the exact amount to be sent to each account for the outgoings. Feeling very organised. I have just realised that I've not created a step back to the main account, or a connection from one periphery account to another! Although it does look like I'll have time to do that before I leave work tonight. I'll get onto that now!
