Afternoon everyone

Thank you LaE for starting us off this morning
Sorry to hear about your hubby's businesses hope it picks up soon xx
TB well done for paying £2k off the debt :j
To all the knitters out there I saw some really cute Xmas socks on FB someone had knitted with sewing needles!! No idea how they did them but did make me think of you all knitting your socks!! Which I could knit
haha
Not got much planned for today, working until 3 (going to skip my break and leave at 2.30 though) and having my eyebrows waxed later. I know I could do them myself but honestly I am rubbish, last time I tried I ended up shaving them off because they went so wrong. Hubby wasn't too keen :rotfl::rotfl: so told me from now on I should get them done professionally. There is a salon the next house down from our little row so will be nipping there later
Not been before so hope she is nice as I am a massive wimp!! 
So today's list:
- FPL
- Lucky phone
- B/L/D from stores
- o2 Priorities
- Blog post
- Tidy house
- Christmas list
- Write rest of thank you notes (completely forgot I still had these to do!! :eek::eek:)
- Write Christmas cards
- Read Martin's email
- Check for MS's None, got three this week though so that should keep me busy!!
- Check DPS to see if deposit has been released On it's way


FINALLY!!

Haha it was so funny, I looked like an Alien!! I drew them on, when I went to mums and took the pencil off she almost wet herself laughing :rotfl::rotfl:
I think going to the gym was the worst bit though because I drew them on I had to make sure I didn't sweat them off!! :rotfl:Read my diaryHere

Hi
Just checking on to say hello to everyone again and say, Happy Wednesday. Half the week is over and I still have loads on my desk. Feel the need to work faster and faster!
Must avoid all electrical devices that I could order anything on.
Must avoid any shops of any sort.
The Christmas finery weakens my resolve. Am feeling determined not to weaken!
Have checked banking and reminded myself I really am this poor.
Have a lovely mid week night everyone.
