    :rotfl:a pretty good summary there Shaun. Heading for the Baarrrking bit whilst trying to keep a PMA (positive mental attitude) with it.

    Signs of baarrking so far are:

    Jeremy kyle and other similar american shows become watchable.:rotfl:
    Getting yourself crisps and water is a major life acheivement:rotfl:
    You actually care "How its made" on the said TV show.:rotfl::rotfl:
    You read medication instructions fully due to boredom:rotfl:
    Your day is planned around the TV
    add to that
    wondering if the phone is broken,cos it never seems to ring..
    waiting for the postman to deliver ..
    reading the junk mail!!!!!!
    enjoying walking around the super market..:eek:
    trying to do the ironing via telepathy
    watching tele sale adverts to the end to see what the special offer is!!!!
    WAS DEBT FREE & STILL BAAARRRRRKING :cool:
    hello my name is shaun,,,and im not so addicted to farmville,still addicted to football:o:o

    BAAAARRRRRRRRRRKING er insanely so :o
  • Oh done the last one too many times not to mention the others. Only thing is whats ironing :confused:? Is it that thing my OH keeps whinging about.......:rotfl:

    Had fun today with my new wheelchair. Friend wheeled me to the school for a laugh and I can move around the house easier. Been sat in the garden a while whilst friends DH cut our lawn. Good timing as OH had started. Its not the cutting thats the problem but the vibration going up his arn to the shoulder that is very painful so I hate him doing it.

    NSD so far although I did say friend could take £10 off what she owes for the lawnmowing.

    Some new mini injuries to the list fell into a doorway trying to negotiate two steps at the red cross which lead to sore elbow. Although weight did go on bad ankle is was brief and no pain felt thankfully. Flaming cat didnt want a cuddle so a nice deep scratch on my chest to round it off.

  • Whenever I say I wont look at the budget it is a guarentee Ill end up doing it and vice versa. Alot of variables but overspend for the month is £200 of whigh groceries were £150. Considering I was aiming for £200 this month it isnt too bad.

    I have yet to stick to a grocery budget - no matter what I do, it seems to run away with itself!

    It is one of the areas I am going to really crack down on next month......I am determined not to let Tescos get any more out of me than absolutely necessary!!
