getting ready for vets now
have e-mailed freecycler and arranged to do swap tomorrow
will get round to lasagne later on - too hot now!!!
doing well!!
returned from vets - cat has ringworm and i could catch it too

. he has to be bathed every couple of days in special shampoo until it goes - not very happy about this and i guess he won't be either
:(
freecycle swap is sorted for tomorrow - ties in with trip to morrisons so saving on fuel!
just had a look in fridge and carrots not looking particularly nice any more although could probably make some (more) soup... going to have a look on recipe thread to see what i can work out - unless anyone on here has a fave recipe to share??it's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:0 -
Confession time for me

i am rejoining my health club which is going to cost me £32 a month.:eek:
But in my defence- I can afford it - even doing the £4000 a year challenge
- I need to go as I need the exercise and swimming is the only sport i like/can do
- I intend to go daily with a friend - so we can kick each other up the backside if things start to slide
- I will be driving but friend will be paying for a coffee afterwards.
- I need an hours relaxation time to myself as i have a lot of stuff to deal with at the moment - and i intend to use the sauna and jacuzzi after swimming.
- I don't drink, don't smoke and rarely go out so don't have many other vices;)

Hey all,
I went out last night to a work's do (only spent a tenner!) and got very drunk, been feeling a little delicate today so not done as much as I would like! I wasn't planning an NSD today as I needed cat food but my lovely dad came over and insisted on paying for my shopping, result!
So today I have:- Done Clicks
- Ordered my birthday present from Dad online through Quidco and used a £4 off voucher I found on MSE as well
- Sliced the pie a bit
- Possibly found a second job :j
- Eaten from stores
- Did shopping with meal plan in mind and stuck to it!

Hope everyone's well xx0 -

I don't think I've ever been happier to read a post! And no, I don't work for a heath club or gym....:rolleyes:
One of the reasons I'll never post an SOA is i'd get complete hell for it. I have Sky (half price full package for the year with free broadband). I have a monthly gym membership which until recently I wasn't using (I get my moneys worth out of it now after a weight lightbulb moment. -where is the little fat smiley when you need it-)
I'm sure there are other things that would have people shaking their heads and wagging their fingers at me but on paper, and even with paying off my debts I can afford these things.
I can justify them in many ways but you know what? I'm not going to.
Thank you SOOOOOOO much Sophiesmum. You've made me feel like a normal person again, and not a failing DFW.
rant over... sorry everyone!
KTjazz:hello: - Proud to be dealing with my debts!:j DFW nerd No. 1011!
I'm back, and this time I mean business!
If you need to talk to someone confidentially call Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 or email jo@samaritans.org
My heart knows me better than I know myself so I'm going to let it do all the talking.0 -

not very happy right now....
not going to make lasagne tonight but will do tomorrow. also was given idea for making carrot cake - sounds nice!!! will let everyone know how it turns out tomorrow
it's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:0 -
Sophiesmum you do not need to justify the health club membership, you are debt free, you work hard and need a break, and you have a lot on, you need to unwind properly so just enjoy it!0
