I've offered to sort out a budget for OH on payday with his help, he's got MOTs and what not coming up so needs some money stashed away for that. I can actually use my DFW skills! Is it odd I'm excited?!

Err, I'd be tempted to say yes, but since we're on MSE I'm sure it's fairly normal!

I can be openly excited about budgets then I love all 3 of those dresses, I wondered were DOTD had gone.

Just got an email from OH with his budget and he signed it off 'BEAT THAT MARTIN SHEEN' I can only guess he meant Martin Lewis.

ETA: Yikes, repeated myself there! Can't really blame it on anything either. I'm just simple!

I agree the Jasmine one is lovely and I love the colour of the Belle one

LOL @ your OH Cinny! I'm sure 'our' Martin will be delighted to be confused with Martin Sheen!
I've just found out that not only do M&Ms print M&Ms with whatever text you fancy (i.e. your names and date for wedding favours) but you can put photos on them too! I know it's really tacky but I'm so doing that for our wedding! Would order them now but they'll probably go off before we got hitched!
And it's my fault you got confused Cinny, putting the pcs up in one chunk them taking 2 away and bringing them back... I'm messing with your mind!

Cinny91

Well it's working, I'm all confused! What day it is? Wheres my baby? ... a little too dramatic I think.

I don't think that's tacky thats fantastic! Really fancy some M&Ms now though *sighs* I'll treat myself to a packet when I go see Ross Noble friday, if I'm good on my none diet diet this week!

I'm on my more of a diet than a non diet this week- low carbing it although I've already had a coffee this morning with milk and sugar in- they are naughty carbs! Ooops! I'd kill for a Snickers. Mmmmm. Have to think about my lovely tea of chicken and roast veggies... and no pudding! Will have to dig out my no-flour chocolate cake recipe!

Cinny91

I've done well today I think, had lots of fruit and no tea, coffee or pop. Will be hell going too Grandmas tonight, it's like 'be our guest' from beauty and the beast. Only with kitkats, blue ribbons, rice crispie squares and chocolate cornflake nests. I think if I can turn that down I deserve a little bit of chocolate Friday night right?

I can't do no carbs, worried I'll end up looking like Nicole Richie and my head will get really big and will weigh me down!

ETA: 5000th post next *jaw drops*

Afternoon girls!

Sorry to hear you're so poorly Dinah. And poor NIM too! It could have been worse - my mum works at a doctors surgery and one of the charming patients took his sample in a carrier bag. No pot, just a bag... What's wrong with people?! :eek:

Poor Birdie too! What a nightmare you're having after all that stress trying to actually move in to the house! Fingers crossed that something good will come out of the meeting tomorrow.

Driving lessons sound like a great idea, Cinny! I think passing my test was the single best feeling ever - there's nothing like it:D

The Ultimate Incentive meet sounds like loads of fun. I hope you all wear little badges with Martin's face on them so you can identify each other! I've done lots of chores today and a couple of MS so best get on with the reports and if I've got any time left then I might put my dungarees on and go and mow the lawn - OH would be v. impressed. Is it sunny where you guys are?

ETA: Happy 5000th post!!

Congrats on the 5000th post Poddle! And can I just say 'Ick!' about the poo in a bag story!
Cinny, I think any diet taken to extremes will leave you with a lollipop head, not just low carb! And at least on low carb I can have my special chocolate cake (which is yummy, like brownies) and a massive helping of thick cream and I don't feel guilty!
