    Started a twitter debate with someone after they posted about an issue that bugs me. Didn't realise at the time it was my lecturer. Oops! :o

    Next installment of my scholarship came through today. I feel flush with cash! Even if it does have to last me three months...

    Love the dress Pixie, I had something similar for my 21st :)

    Thinking of dying my hair a plummy colour again, I miss it.

    misslt - does that mean you don't have to bring any on the plane? Sounds like a great idea!

    we're getting the boat cos of the cat, but yeah we'll only have to take what we need for the few weeks at my mams!

    we filled one pallet last night and will do the same tomorrow, thank god for shipping companies is all I'll say :)

    knackered now, but we're nearly there, making meatballs for dinner and opening a very well deserved bottle of red!

    Waiting in Gatwick for my flight home after a very long weekend! I have SO much to do in the next 8 days it's beyond funny...

    Operation "I will not whinge because this flight was £20" is already in full swing too :pac:

    Treated myself to a Vivian of Holloway dress for my birthday too - a girl only turns 29 once so she has to treat herself!

    Could you work on a cash only basis? As in take what you need for the week from the bank, then leave your cards at home and only use the cash to spend? I find it helps me hugely when I've to watch it for a while.

    Was it one of the new mc flurries? Because if it was, I believe that would outweigh going back to work.

    Just home. The presence of an almost full bottle of M&S ginger ale in my fridge makes me far happier than it should :eek:

    That's a pretty good idea! I might try that but tbh cash can kill me more than card sometimes. I seem to spend cash easier. It's as if I don't want any in my purse.

    I also have know my laser card number off by heart...

    Jessibelle wait until someone you follow favourites or replies to a tweet of yours. The addiction will kick in then :)

    If the world existed on a four day work week, three days off basis I'd be so much happier. I'd even be happy with the resulting reduction in pay. The idea of working Monday and Tuesday, having a day off, Thursday and Friday, two days off just sounds so amazing. And I'm fairly certain the reduction in hours would be made up with people working harder because they don't have five days of bollocks to put up with.

    A friend even claims to have read a study that says if we worked a four day week instead of a five day week, productivity would go up, employment would go up, people would be happier with less and the whole world would be better off.

    I know you didn't read it but do you know how they did that study to come to that conclusion?

    I'd think the same as Ivy. Once people get over the novelty and get used to four days, they'll just want three.
