IA: DS snagged a returned mountaineering windbreaker jacket at work (Originally over $200 but with the sales and his discount got it for $30!!) which he thought he could give to his dad for Christmas. Discovered it was actually a women's size!

UP: I have a new jacket  :D

UP: I made it through all the cuts for my Wheel of Fortune audition last week.

IA: I now have to wait for two weeks for a letter letting me know if I've been selected to be a contestant on the show.

I think I'm getting an ulcer from waiting, haha!

Oh my god! I love Wheel of Fortune. I hope you're selected. Also, it's my dream in life to be on Jeopardy.  ;D

IA: It's been 2 weeks and I STILL don't have my car back from when it broke down on the motorway and the mechanic is NOT calling us back to let us know whats going on or what to expect.

UP: Get to work from home today because of lack of car!

Hope they get back to you soon and are able to give you a time frame.. and your car. It seems odd they haven't been in touch for a while.

My husband is FUMING today with the mechanic! He called twice on Monday and left him two message to call us back and let us know what's going on to which he's never called back, we thought that we would give him Monday and Tuesday to see if he would call back and never did, so now it's Wednesday and my husband has called twice today and the guy still "isn't available" to talk to us! My husband is about to get a tow truck and take it to another garage I think! LOL!

UP: My boss seems to be ok with me working from home again! I don't know many companies that would be this flexible! I'm pretty lucky!

IA:  Halfway through my shower, I remembered that I left my shopping out and in that bag was salmon.  I gasped when I realized because the last time I left something like that out, the cat got into the bag, pulled the meat out and ate through the packaging and ate a good portion of it.

So, I jumped out of the shower and ran downstairs wet (of course!) and with no clothes on, but.....

UP:  The cat was sitting peacefully on the sofa, and the salmon was intact, thank goodness!

UP: Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Nor Cali...71 nary a cloud and just slightly breezy. So I washed the car, cleaned the house, did all the laundry, played w/DD & bubbles outside and still managed to finish my Christmas Shopping for the DH.

IA: Ok at 8.5 mo pregnant maybe I went a bit overboard, my body is killing me today  :-\\\\

This is from yesterday because I've only just had a chance to get online and post:

UP: Our work team won the Christmas pub quiz last night - we got £50 to share between us :)!

IA: On the way home from the pub quiz, I got a flat tyre (my first ever flat) and I got stuck sitting in a Tesco car park for an hour at 10 pm (15 miles from home) waiting for the roadside assistance van to come out :(. I was supposed to be getting an early night as I had to get up at 6 a.m. for work this morning, but I didn't get home until midnight :(... so I was knackered at work all day and I had to take the car into the garage at lunch to buy a new tyre.
