    hi ISOM. I finished the CJ, did my own 'interpretation' of the title as i was really struggling as everyone seemed to have covered all the bases. I actually like it which is good. I enjoyed the crop i went to yesterday, i did the class project but was frustrated by the printer being out of ooloured ink the night before. Now i changed that my blooming puter is playing up and won't open Word ARGH!
    Had to go to work today which was fun as IT messed with the system yesterday so couldn't get into a vital programme. Why do they do that?

    Evening all! Well done LT - have to say that I've lacked inspiration on my cj but must get on with it! Very annoyi to go to work & not be able to do what you wanted!
    Despite this am feeling couldnt be bothered seem to have had a very productve day! Have spent much of it on O/S trying to suss the GB - am DETREMINED to get ths down somehow but it will take some practice! Have been inspired by weezle thread weezle vs USDA but not sure I could do that well (or organised!!) but have attempted things today! Shopped at lidl, market & Mr T and spent about 45 but now have a freezer fullish, 2 batches of soup & enough to last a while so will do my best to do a bit of a storecup challenge this month. Also have lots of flour etc to make bread and just off to watch the beeb!! Marmalade is cooling & have a relaxed work day tomorrow which is good plus back class first thing! Hope all ok! Hugs!

    Decided to have an early night last night & of course couldnt sleep so knckered! Back class this am which was tough as still 1/2 asleep and still had the side effects of the nitol that I took at 12.20am!! Definate early night toniht, with nitol, early! Am NO good with n sleep! NSD for me & just had pasta with mince. Have overdone the soup so hope I dont go off it!! Stupidly chopped veg up en masse & then realised that it was too much & ran out of containers & freezer space!! All trial & error this o/s DFW thing so chucckled to myself! Also made twinks hobnbs but they were so yummy decided to contribute some to a meeting to save my waistline! I can confirm also that you do have to flatten the mix and mine were more rockcake than biccy but still taste yummy! Chilling, o/s research (ie how do you know which shop is cheapest without looking in em all!) and general nothingness. Feel I may have overdone the rather yummy lidl pear juice & tummy has suffered for it today!! TMI..I know!!

  • Hi ISOM, i would whiten my underwear, but can't be bothered. I think grey is very fetching.
    Hope you have a restful nights sleep tonight. I used to buy a generic valerian tablet from health food store rather than Nytol. Tastes and smells like sweaty socks..but it works.
    OS style is addictive, and i have a weakness for marmalade. Have three jars to get through before i make some more.

    hi ISOM i can sympathise about the tiredness. I was still in a teary mood today at work and after someone decided to take their pettiness out on my team i told my manager i didn't care what happened or what the deadlines were if couldn't do my job because of others so be it. I think i even used the 'f' word very quietly. Despite my shame at sinking to that level i amazingly had a thank you for going into work yesterday from the top civilian (unheard of) and my manager got us cakes to boost moral. think i still need an early night tonight though and hopefully i'll be in a better frame of mind tomorrow.

    lol re sweaty socks bob! I also love marmalde but cos it make me money! This time I did it with less "fishes" which are for those that dont know the orange bits you would call peel!
    LT hope you feel better tomorrow & hope the f-word doesent escape! It occasionally leaps from my mouth and people usually know to STAY AWAY when it does!! Rare & not a good example for me to set to teh team so I try not to but sometimes feel so stressed I do! Nitol cosumed & I'll watch a bit of embarassing illnesses until it kicks in! Sucking hard on a nicotenine lozenge & was good & didnt buy fags on the way home (but sooooo wanted just one!) and feel slightly panicked & restless that theres no emergency fag in the house but I figured if there was I'd smoke it so didnt but now wish I had. I'll shut up now!! Night all! Hugs debtbusters!

    PS bob white undies is satisfying & yummy but discovering that you left a bra out of the mix which is still grey, isnt!
