    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Great plan! Everybody has off days, or off weeks, and thats what friends are for - to rant to and get rid of all the angst (and to tell you you are doing great!!) a very odd comment, not worth considering really!

    Thanks for your post earthgirl :)

    It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! :j

    and I've already had an early birthday present :) a £15 voucher for Monsoon.

    ...but have you ever tried to spend only £15 at Monsoon?

    I ended up spending £48!:rotfl:(real money £33) on a really pretty grey skirt and pink top.

    oh well... i am unrepentant :p

    :think: I have to have a think about what my 100 day challenge will be (inspired by Memory Girl on DFW) hummmmmmm.........perhaps only spending what i have in my purse/vouchers would be a good start? :rotfl:

    Thanks hun :) I had a very relaxing weekend with breakfast being cooked for me and what with going strawberry picking. Never got my cocktails in the end as we sat about and chatted too much! Had very nice fish n chips though

    Parents gave me £100 so £33 of that went towards the clothing I bought :D DH got me a Bravissimo voucher so I'll be in Oxford Sunday!

    Well done Danny for getting through my thread :T I feel like I've stolen a bit of your life away! A week and a half!!!!!!!!!!
    Let me know when you start your own diary so I can have a mooch :)

    Ohhhhhh, My Lemonbalm vodka is all ready and is maturing in the cupboard :D It knocks your socks off! I'm having a go at Rhubarb vodka, Raspberry vodka and Tayberry vinegar now :beer: Now there's no need to worry, I'm not becoming an alcholic as I plan to use these as gifts :) I've just found a recipe for rhubarb champayne too!

    I'm thinking of making piccalilli (sp?), plum jam (there are trees near us), biscotti and different infusions for Xmas. I was thining about potted meat too (got some rabbit) but I'm not sure how long it keeps for!

    I'm glad to say that both banks accounts look nice and healthy :)
