General chit chat thread.

I have just been on a mini shopping spree, I have treated myself to a couple of books, dvd's & computer games. I finally got round to spending my birthday money.

I went to get the new Dan Brown book in Asda as it was £5 last week as soon as I picked it up the lady took the ticket away so I didn't buy it. Good job as its gone up to £9 something so I bought it for £7 on Amazon & got my nectar points

How is your FIL, Mandy?

It sounds like you had a good shopping spree Nikki

I think my FIL is doing fine. The last I heard he'd gone out to get a newspaper and to see the doctors, so I guess he's OK ~ thanks for asking

 

[irongirlof12]

i spent my money within a few days

why does this not surprise me

i have just ate a fab 'slimming world' chicken korma that DH prepared, so delish. I need to get him to cook more often

All those feeling ill... Get well soon!! I'm hoping upon hope that I don't catch anything before I go away... The centre I work at has all kinds of bugs going round at the moment but I seem to have been lucky so far, I used to catch things at the drop of the hat when I was doing day to day supply (i've been here since April) I've started taking Berocca recently which has something like 150% RDA of vitamin C so maybe that's helping, I feel more alert at least

Good news Natalie

Its payday today so I might go & treat myself again. I have been after a new pair of sunglasses for ages now so that might be my next purchased.

Having days off work can be dangerous Although where I have been working a lot of nights I haven't gone shopping for a while

Hello everybody

Glad you're feeling better today Nat

Wish I had a payday - I miss that feeling. Hope you enjoy treating yourself Nikki....

I seem to have been super busy this week catching up after our weekend away, also Poppy's birthday and parents "evening" in the mix.

FIL and MIL are on holiday and FIL is a top Pigeon Flyer and I've been going around to their house to feed the birds lucklily it was the last time this morning I told him on the phone that he owes me - big time!

After a few weeks consideration I have decided to join the local health club I used to be a member before I had the girls and I used to enjoy going, it has a really nice spa area which I'm looking forward to relaxing in again.
Although I want to manage my weight better I'm struggling with dieting and I've noticed on our last two holidays that I'm weaker and more tired than I used to be. I really need to get fitter. I've decided to take out the cheaper "off peak" membership as I've noticed my weak area is going out in the evening to exercise, this way I have to fit it into my day and weekend evenings. Not looking forwarded to the dreaded "assesment" I know they will want to do - I'm actually contemplating doing the "senior" classes to start with - I feel that unfit

 

[natalielongstaff]

Sounds like a good plan Joanne, good luck

 

[mandymouse]

Good luck Joanne, I hope you enjoy it

I feel the need to rant right now!! I enrolled online weeks ago and my tutor last week said I am not down as enrolled, and I am getting emails and text messages from uni asking me to enroll online which I can't do as I have already enrolled online, If I try to access it, it says you have already enrolled!!
I had problems last year in that I wasn't enrolled on all my units for months and it took ages to sort out so I am dreading having to sort this out on monday!!

Just popping in to say "hi!" I returned from our most fab WDW/DCL trip this morning and have spent the day chilling out with my DH and DS - I have sooo missed my menfolk...

It's going to be a bit of a shock plunging back into real life tomorrow morning (a cruel 9am start, if I remember correctly) but I'm actually looking forward to starting Uni, getting back to the gym and losing those inevitable post-hols pounds - bring it on!!!

Hope everyone is well and I'll catch up with you all properly over the next week or so...
