Diary of a Maintainer

[Laura_carlburgess]

Hey no i was completely out yesterday...been tescos today but Alpen lights not on offer and not spending £1.70 on five bars eek. I realised after that as I had one HEB and one HEA couldn't I still just class it as a EE day?

Although my digi scales broke yesterday so had to guess the cheese so hopefully would balance itself out and I have just taken them back for exchange so have new ones to weigh things today yey x
