Pleased to report that the flea situation is improving, thanks to Lovely Vet :staradmin I literally picked off hundreds yesterday :eek: The kitten has been feeling very sorry for herself with it all and cat flu but is picking up; currently fast asleep on my lap
Finally going to get my menu plan done today, the GC seems to be going quite well so far though (hope I havent jinxed myself!).
Have a great frugal day everyone, whatever you're up to xx

Oh dear, I went to a party last night, drank way too much. Managed to get to work (the train ride was not pleasant), but it's getting worse. I didn't stop drinking until about 2:30 so maybe the full force hasn't hit me yet.

Anyway, I'm an office manager, supposed to be responsible, and I've just spent 20 mins in the ladies throwing up veeeeery loudly.

Help me. I can't concentrate of anything except not puking on my keyboard.

Does anyone have any good hangover remedies? I tried taking an Alka Selzer. Threw it up after approx 20 mins.

Pleeeeeeeease. Any suggestions gratefully received. Oh god everything spinning

Sounds nasty dfw! Alka Seltzer is made by teetotallers to increase the suffering of the damned :rotfl:Um, loads of water, greasy food, green tea, hair of the dog...could you go home claiming food poisoning? Hope you feel better soon, it's horrible x

Unfortunately they know it's a hangover - because I saw swaying as I walked into the office.

Can't go home, I give them all crap if they take time off when they are not genuinely sick, so I have to practice what I preach.

Just threw up THREE more times. Will I never learn?

Green tea is a good idea, we have some in the kitchen, thank you.

And I totally agree about Alka Selzer. Never bothering again. It was expensive as well.

The hangover was cheap as the wine was from Aldi - suppose that's one saving grace

:rotfl::rotfl:Keeping the frugal spirit alive, that's what I like to see! Get well soon!

System

if you can get to a shop milk thistle is good (helps your liver work, you can take it before you start drinking too to prevent a hangover)

and orange juice and salty things

you can get vitamin c tablets that dissolve in water that are really easy on the stomach if you can't hold down real juice!

Thank you to whoever gave the link to Greenmetropolis I have registered and will be listing some books when I am ready. DH had so many books I really will have to sell some of them if I can. But the library was his specail room and I find it really hard to go in there at the moment.
I have got nearly everything for our dinner party tomorrow night. Just need to see if I can get some strawberries.
The only money I have spent this month (apart from fruit) has been on stuff for the party so that's pretty good.
I got 2 big pork leg joints in Lidl for £4.50 each and that will feed the seven of us with a lot left over.
DS1 phoned to say he and DS2 have booked me into the hairdressers at the end of the month for my birthday and I can have anything done I want :j My colours need doing again so that's great. Then they have booked a table at a local posh restaurant I am so lucky to have such good kids.

Had a letter from the Council to tell me I don't owe anything on Council Tax for 2003-2004 and 2004-2005
I phoned the office and spoke to someone who told me that it was a computer glitch and I wasn't the first. Wish I hadn't wasted a call now.

Off to look for these Curry Queen recipes which look very interesting..

Hugs, Janey. :grouphug:

Congratulations, Whitewing - happy and supportive thoughts from Wales.

Hugs and support to all 4Kers - I can't go and catch up unfortunately, too busy clearing out house - woohoo, after all this time, I've hit a patch of "AntheaTurner-itits" How wonderful is that?! LOL

Anyway, had a migraine yesterday [THAT explains the feeling stupid, dizzy and generally rough for the last week .... always happens, never remember what it is, oh dear....]

gotta run
hugs to all
DG

ps so far 6 NSDs and have stuck to the August Grocery Challenge - despite DH spending most of the month's money on dog food we already had, tucked away neatly ..... ho hum.

Agreed 100% but am frugalising the typing by pinching the quote Every time I see 888 I think of Whitewing's wedding :beer:

dfw - as Bails suggests plus - if you know any err... whispering next part - vets or dentists, you could go get a swig of O2 as it ALLEGEDLY works - but I didn't really say that and it's strictly off the record, not for quoting, I only heard it from a third party many years ago and it could just be an old wives' tale. :whistle:

I am becoming obsessive again, about yet another moneysaving strategy. I'm already a frugaholic but I now have 'lecciemeteritis'! I didn't realise that this was as contageous as frugalitis until checking the chart for electricity consumption figures and that's when it struck me! I spotted a gap in the chart, a flaw in my system! :eek: We only ever read the main numbers and never include the last digit that counts up in tenths. I guess if a kilowatt hour = 1000 watts than each of the last digits must represent 100 watts each? Well that is fine, IF you are using complete kilowatt units but when you reduce, reduce, reduce then you suddenly (and gloriously) find out that every few days, that results in a big fat zero! Well, I KNOW that the fridge and freezer don't use zero, so now I need to watch the watts as well as the kilowatts! If we're only using 950w as opposed to 1000w (1kwh) then I want to know about it! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP.... who was it said their degree was in psychology?
