meals out for under a tenner are more common now, especially with all the vouchers and deals around. Its a shame about the £125 but should come in handy next month !

I think so. I am deciding what I should do tomorrow.

I think I will have some gladioli that got me cheap to plant. My handyman rang and said that he is definitely coming next week to start my bedroom. :j I love having work done on the house. It feels like I am making it better and an investment.

There is a gorgeous red coat on ebay. It is at a really bargain price. I think I might treat myself. I have just culled 4 coats from my coat wardrobe for charity as penance. Steve says I can't have it so I have a broken heart. Steve is no longer my best friend or my boyfriend (pretend) even if he is gay I don't care it's over. OVER. OVER. I'm going to die in front of telly. I have said this to Steve and Susan over the phone and they are laughing. I feel like miss piggy and the dying swan mixed with Rupert Everett. I'm coatless and starving and my life is over.

Do you want some licourice

Susan we love you so much. Thank you. Susan and Steve got my liquorice as a treat last night to celebrate my passing from unconspicous consumption. It was delish. Andy even texted me from work that he was still talking to me. I didn't spend money on a GORGEOUS RED KAREN MILLEN COAT and I SURVIVED. I realise now whenever I see red clothes I have to have them and they are right all I do is wear them a few times and then get fed up of them. This is a valuable lesson if I don't buy something I want I can survive. It is terrible for a bit but then it is fine after and I am still alive.

I have saved some money £50 as I didn't buy the coat - I couldn't have afforded that much anyway. We did a survey the other day and I gave some money to Oxfam from it and have banked the rest into my xmas fund. £20. So today is a good day and I have just got up.

The weather looks gorgeous but it is only going to last for a bit. I am in tidy mode today and am going to have a good day. I have washed some clothes and might tidy some of the shoes in my shoe rack as I think it takes up too much space in spare bedroom. It was Susan's idea she is v good at home interiors. It is a little project for today. Operation Clear Shoes has been completed. I do have a bedside cabinet that needs emptying and I might do that later.

Well done on resisting the coat SW :TIts so hard, sometimes its I WANT even though we know we shouldn't

Well done you on all the tidying. I wish I could be more disciplined I still haven't sorted out the wardrobe sitting in my kitchen in bits

I only stopped myself because the gang told me not to. I would have been regretting it today if I had, I am so grateful I didn't get it. lol.

The only reason I am getting things done is because I am off work. There is no way I could do any of this if I was at work Skint Yet Again.

How are you?

Skint_yet_Again · 17 March 2017 at 10:27PM

Blood tests on Tuesday so will see what happens next... Its really windy outside, DS has just gone to work and I am bored. Trouble is I eat when I am bored

rather than shop ... must resist I have eaten and I am not hungry ... takeaways to me are like coats to you SW :rotfl:

Your friends sound so lovely SW - mine are always encouraging me to spend money!! If you've just got rid of 4 coats it's because you don't need them so there's not a lot of sense in taking £50 out of your wallet and putting it into your wardrobe if you don't need to

My friends are great. They are so funny. One of my work friends visited yesterday and Steve rang up not realising. Because they are worried I am down he keeps ringing up saying funny things on the phone.

Yesterday I passed the phone to my work friend and Steve said unknowing it wasn't me: ".. Hello I am doing a survey on ladies knockers..." he always says that to make me laugh as he knows I am quite small in that dept. Anyway M (a male who knows Steve luckily) burst out laughing. I am still shaking - he is soooo funny.

It is horrid outside. I have to write a lesson today and I might move my cookery books into the kitchen again as I really have to start cooking a wider range of meals.

I hope you are all ok. It does look rather grim outside, I hope it gets better. :j
