Had an extremely productive day today, for me at least. Got the bank to transfer the money from my current account to my ISA, started on the invoices that will also go into my ISA when they get paid, giving me savings of almost 2 grand. Wishing I'd started this saving lark earlier though, the amount of money I've wasted this year is incredible. ( Read more... )

I find it the ultimate irony that even though I dislike pretty much all vegetables, onions remain one of the few I will actually quite happily eat, yet also possibly the only one I'm allergic to. Hence I have spent the last 2 days suffereing for a stupendous bangers and mash with onion gravy. But it was worth it. Mmmmmm... sausages....

I was gonna ( Read more... )

... so Piglet started bailing!

Will update the weekend later, but think the weather deserves a mention first! BLOODY HELL!  Weird really, wouldn't have even known there was a problem but for the TV, and the unusually long queues up to Hillsborough on my way home... at 8:30 in the evening. Leadmill held up pretty well, apart from a couple of leakes ( Read more... )

There are now 3 people in the entirety of the Leadmill. Me and 2 of the kids from programming. I hate Saturdays. It wouldn't be so bad if I had absolutely anyhting to do. Well, actually, I do have things to do, I just can't be bothered to do them. Bad *emmaaa*. On lunch break now, will get the air compressor out in a bit and blast some dust for fun ( Read more... )

Henry's just gone in for his MOT. I swear this must be similar to what parents go through with their kids when they do dancing exams and stuff. I'm sitting in the office waiting until 2pm when I can go find out what the damage is *crosses fingers* Of course, Henry being Henry, he's made me look like a complete eejit woman who couldn't park and didn ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a weird day. Weird enough that I'm still here after work to type up some of the stuff that's in my brain at present before I get annoyed with it and pop!

It's not been a bad gig today. I think I came to the conclusion last year that my hayfever turns me into a different person, I certainly don't feel like *emmaaa* when my head's all ( Read more... )

Not much to say really. Carnival was OK, afterparty was great, except for the expected onslaught of hayfever that's still causing my eyes havoc. Currently getting ready to go to work, feeling crappy that she's wasted the entire weekend being asleep, annoyed because she has to go to work tomorrow, and just a litle bit nervous that the best of al the ( Read more... )

My LJ life seems dependant at the moment on stealing other people's internet connections. *waves at dave* So, I'm in Manchester chez Helen and Dave, in dire need of tea and a fry-up, and the instructions for making my shawl while everyone else wakes up. Silly *emmaaa*. Got here yesterday, admittedly about 6 hours after when was planned which cut ( Read more... )

As most regular readers of this will have realised by now, I'm a very negative, pessimistic person. I don't have much time for a "glass is half full" philosophy. But I think that just throws today into sharper relief. Today has been a fantastic day ( Read more... )

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I hate it when LJ eats my posts! *scowls* I just wrote a fricking ESSAY about... well, not a lot really, just last night... and now I have to do it ALL AGAIN! Grrrrrrrrr ( Read more... )
