    • [strike]cook dinner with leftovers[/strike]Yes (just finished dinner now :o )
    • [strike]update spending diary[/strike]Yes

    • [strike]figure out how to fix my laptop myself... must head to the techie board...[/strike]Did post on the techie board, but problem has mysteriously sorted itself out!
    • That's it - long evening ahead at work, but at least I can't spend anything! Worked 7.30-8.30am, 9-4.30pm (one 15 min break); 6-7pm and 8-10pm.
    Hope everyone is having a good day!

    Who says the Internet isn't educational... today my kids learned diplomacy and active listening: 'I really am trying to see things from your point of view, but I just can't get my head that far up my own a$$'.... lovely children, destined for greatness, clearly...:rolleyes:
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    • Got up stupidly early to check out the Ryanair deal, only to discover it started at mid day.... so I did all my clicks nice and early! (Spent most of afternoon trying to get cheap flights and failed!)
    • Received my Tesco holiday vouchers and booked our cheapy holiday.
    • Took hm roasted veg soup to work (to be completely honest I think it might have been pasta sauce - it was in the back of the freezer and I'm no good at labeling things... but I ate it anyway.)

    Nah , I do that too:D I once defrosted some cooked rice and a bag of "sauce" to have for tea, turned out to be butterscotch sauce:o :o . Luckily found this out before pouring over the rice and managed to turn it into egg fried rice/ pancakes with butterscotch sauce:p
