    Good morning all you Moneysavers!

    Sorry I haven't been around for a bit - we're having the computers upgraded at work so there was no opportunity to login on Friday. Then there was a chance that MSE would be a "prohibited site"! :eek: I ask you! MSE?? Outrageous!
    I soon got that decision reversed! Sometimes there's a lot to be said for being Financial Manager!

    Anyway, an update:
    Went to college last Thursday for that seminar thing - got my £30 M&S voucher. so updated my sig. It was quite interesting actually.:D

    Went out in Manchester on Friday night with my friend Terry. Went to the newly opened AXM bar where my friend Kate sings cabaret on Fridays and Sundays. Hadn't seen her for ages and within five minutes, she'd handed me a microphone and we were doing duets on stage. Go Strumpet Go!:beer:
    Best news though - only spend £9.25! :D;) And it was the first time I'd been out properly for 4 weeks so I deserved the break!

    Shopping tonight - going for £25 budget again, although there are a couple of big spend items required this week - bogroll and coffee! I refuse to make do with cr*p coffee - it's just a necessary spend with me! Will go without the Orange fruit loaf this week to offset the expense!;)

    Dentist again on Thursday which will be another £30 but then that's it! I'm singing counter-tenor solos in a concert on 4th October in Kendal Parish Church - Handel's Messiah :A so will earn enough from that to pay for all my dentist fees and have some left over. Looking forward to that!:T

    Have to get a tax review form in by 30th September so currently collating all the info required for that.

    Strumpet is a very busy bee at the moment.

    Speak later chaps!

    It sounds as though things are going well in Strumpet land! Well done on the money earning "stuff" (any more singing gigs coming up?), I haven't been into Manchester for AGES (not since I landed on the crutches - not being able to walk makes getting round Manchester a little tricky!)

    Luckily for Horace the pain has subsided - it looks as though I can hold off on the Dentist until our check up at the end of October - with any luck Dr Dragon will have got some more money by then and we can afford the treatment!

    Strumpet - buy your bogroll in Lidl - you can buy a 24 roll pack of Charmin (I know its recycled but it is quite soft) for £6.49, cheaper than anywhere else although until recently it was £9.49 but it was still a saving.

    My gnashers are in tip top condition now - thanks for asking:D

    Can you PM me the details of your singing chum - does she have a website etc? The reason I ask is that I am on the look out for some decent entertainers.

    Life wouldn't be worth living if you had no access to MSE:rolleyes: Glad you got the powers that be to see the light:j

    I set foot in a lovely church yesterday, mind you its surroundings were just wonderful as it was in the grounds of the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester. I had been invited to their wedding show, so I went and looked and quaffed glasses of elderflower fizz (no champagne for me as I was driving) and I chomped on heart shaped shortbread biscuits and samples of cake:D

    Two delicious hunks (you would like them Strumpet:D ) offered me a day pass to the RAC gym (the college's own gym) and they offered me some personal training. There was me trying to suck in my podge as much as possible so that I looked svelte and sexy but I am afraid it didnt work:eek: Being good salesmen (I couldnt take my eyes off their rippling muscles) they tried to sell me on an online personal training programme but that too would have cost me money so I shall stick to my free exercise - walking, reclining and sipping:D

    Hi Horace,Didn't you take any photos girl? I saw a gorgeous hunklicious chap in the Tesco Extra in Worcester, so I positioned myself behind the crystalized fruits so I could take a photo of him with my phone (I know it's a bit naughty but hey - he obviously spent yonks in the gym so it would be incongrous to get shirty if people had a sly ogle). I had to zoom out to get all his muscles into the viewfinder! Yum Yum!Thanks for the advice about Lidl. I'll check it out, although I saw that Morrisons had spesh offers on bogroll last week so may have an eqivalent deal. Should go to Tesco really and get the clubcard points, but it's 4 miles away in Burnley.Let you know!Sxxx

    Hey Dragon - what's with the crutches? You been injuring yourself, vaulting over the trolleys in Tesco to get to the reduced price fruit and veg?:rotfl:

    Ah I have been on crutches for nearly two years now! I had a bad road smash about 14 years back (drunk driver on the motorway didn't see the 4 lanes of sitting traffic with hazard lights on! :mad:), I have a smashed right ankle (hence the reason I cannot work, walk or exercise other than [STRIKE]sex[/STRIKE] scrabble!! :rotfl:)

    No to the vaulting trolleys in Mr T's I am more of Sainsbury's Dragon as they do not try and kill me :rotfl:, hmm reduced fruit and veg, also reduced Quorn meals!!
