    Just having lunch now although I think I could do with a bib as I'm trying to eat and type and I keep dropping it on myself!

    Suppose everyone ekse is actually DOING something with their life..... *sighs* ... off to make another cup of tea :):):)


    Well I'm not lol

    It is quiet wonder if its because people may have been paid so gone to do their shopping.

  • I'm never on here as much at the weekends, but during the week the computer is always on!!
    I do a lot of comping, which takes hours & then of course I have to check my e-mails regularly for all those MASSIVE wins I don't get:rotfl:
    I've just put a beef casserole in the oven, so once thats cooked I think I'll take the kids to the park, it's so nice to see a bit of sun, even if it's cold!!
    Also I have become a bit of a hermit, as I really don't want to spend any money & I get a bit down when I see things that I like, I hate feeling like I'm missing out, so it will do me good to get a bit of fresh air.
    I might take a flask of coffee though if I've got to sit there in the cold, turning into a right old biddy, will be taking a tartan blanket too soon:eek:
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

  • Maybe that's it; I don't get paid till monday but I am NOT going to go to the shops. Nope nope nope.

    I just ate my luch over my work keyboard too and have covered it in cheese. As I'm supposed to be in charge of IT (har har) I am going to let this blatant abuse of company property slide.

    Just been trying to get my head around free this and that; like quidco free sign ups and stuff. Feel as if I'm selling my soul to some extent.

    Maybe I can stay registered with them for a year then email and ask for details to be removed from mailing lists etc.

  • Like the tartan blanket idea :) If I started doing that it would confirm me as village crazy woman. Yay! ;)

    My payday is usually the 5th or 6th. It's a bit of a pain being then. My last job was paid on the last day of the month (as all my previous jobs have been) so most things come out on the 1st or 2nd. It now means that most of my DD's come out at the 'end' of the month for me!! It's stuff like CT and water, so not moveable.

  • I wish I'd have had MSE when I worked, it would have made the days go a bit faster, now it takes all of my time up!!! I must get on with some housework:p

    I know......the hours I spent on MSE when I was in a salaried job, blimey......not quite the same now. If I don't work, I don't earn now I'm self employed although I don't seem to spend any less time on here -whoops!!!!

  • hee hee. I know; I bought my laptop to start doing design work; then can't afford the software so just hang out here :o

    the thing is I reckon I'm more productive now I've found MSE; as I no longer 'worry' about money.

  • Interesting post about the DDs; I really want to move some of mine as well. I have a plan that if I could start up a 'DD' account and a 'Paypal' account (for MB too; when or if I ever figure it out) and could have one more extra one to put 'extra' money in. Then I could keep my 'spends' in my current account. And then my life would be perfect (hmmmm).
