    Morning all :hello:

    Hope everyone is okay? Finished work at 6am, dog has been walked and I'm heading to bed in a minute.

    My cheque to Bank of Scotland for the final settlement cleared yesterday :D so I am one loan down!! Just the two HFC loans and my pesky credit card to go!
    Feeling good right now, I feel like I'm finally making headway on my debt. I'm going to pay as much as possible off the credit card before Christmas next. Then tackle the two loans next year.

    I'm off to bed now, but will be up later to clean out the fish, do some ironing, have some dinner (Pasta with chopped toms, fried chicken, peppers, sweetcorn & peas) and watch 'Spendaholics' before work tonight.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Neither would I :) It's more special occasion prices with a good view! Sorry to hear about the leak. At least they didn't charge!

    Next time you're in Glos, I'd recommend Hobnails in on the road between Evesham and Tewkesbury for food. If you go M-F, they do a carvery where you can go back for a reasonable price and I quite like a lot of their other menu items too.

    Hardup Hester - I meant to ask, how come you have so many items to list on ebay?

    Morning All

    Just doing archerfish clicks at the same time as being on here.

    Phoned the bank yesterday and sorted out the fact I've not received anything in the post about my brand spanking new savings account - set up purely for PIN money:T Should get all the stuff through next week

    Got yet another meeting with the boss today. He wants to know how I'm doing now I've been back for a while after being sick. For crying out load. He wants meetings to arrange meetings. I'm not joking either. Why can't I just get on with my job??????/:confused: MEN!!!!:rotfl:

    Been asked to go out tonight in Kent. Bit of a long way when I have to get up at 4am, so not sure if I'm going yet or not. Would be really nice to go, but I need sleep too!!

    Horrible day here. Really grey with drizzle. Was freezing when I got up and pitch black.

    Good luck to everyone getting GCSE results, and remember it's not the end of the world if you don't get what you were hoping for. If you fail anything, you can always take it again.

    HI FBThree
    I started decluttering & putting stuff on Ebay & then my DD, DSIL, DS & one of my friends all decided to declutter too & asked me to list their stuff as well.

    Morning all

    Looks like a lovely day here. Shame I have to go to work

    ((Hugs)) HeavenLeigh. I remember having wild dreams while pregnant. Used to look shamefaced at DH in the morning and wonder if he knew what had been going on in my head!:o

    Had to go to London yesterday for work. I hate those days, the kids were still asleep when I left and were back asleep when I got home. But I did manage to spend 32p. I left my purse at home and had only the loose change at the bottom of my bag. Good job I'm a messy b***h at times.

    Got some pastry in the freezer. I think I need to make some sort of quiche to use it up. I've a feeling there's some spinach in there too. Right that's dinner sorted!
    Been for a run already this morning and feel good:A . Need to go and hang washing out and head off to Newcastle and the dreaded w***.

    Take care all

    Morning everybody :hello:

    ((((hugs)))) heavenleigh, hope the scan goes ok for you.

    We had a Book People stall at work yesterday, I picked up two new cookbooks including the James Martin Desserts book - I've had it recommended to me by a friend whose cooking from it I have sampled :drool: and what's more it's got a picture on the front of James Martin :D

    Went to a terrific concert yesterday, and had a mini meet with folk from another message board I'm on.

    Must be off, have to dry my hair and go to work! Have a good day everybody.

    Love Rzl xx :wave:

    Morning all

    After lurking around this forum for a while I thought it would be a good idea to join as it will get me motivated to sort my house and life out...

    My ds woke me up at 7 today so after several cups of tea I am now feeling awake and ready to jump into action and start doing a bit of cleaning :) I have got tons of washing to get done but the weather is wet and miserable so it doesnt look like I am going to be able to get it all dry :(

    Hope everyone has a good day :)
