    :rolleyes: Talk about that Friday feeling - my office is empty...where are they all hiding?

    Yesterday I found 3 sheep wandering lost in my willow fields - not my old sheep - just three sheep - think they were out of a jaunt?

    Well done for knowing all your sheep individually :T Do sheep jaunt? we need a sheep dot, where's KT?

    With reference to your earlier post, I always look to see what you've been up to, never boring, some times funny, always a highlight of my day!

    I'm having a little lie down because of andans list :eek::eek: that is one long list....

    Thanks andan, if it's right with the man, I'm going to take happiness if that's what's on offer. Not rushing though, we'll date 'til the new year and see if we still like each other first!

    Can't tell you my secret fay, instead i shall have to bottle it and sell it on ebay, perhaps thats how i will make my fortune!! Perhaps you should do the same, have noticed your lists getting longer, especially with the new lodger;)

    Have to keep busy otherwise it will all pour on top of me.:eek:

    Hoping the one item on your list was a good one then piq, an idea for one extra on your list, is to say your going to post on here!!:rotfl:

    Might have to check out some matched bets as there seems to be a few about thanks to the horse racing this weekend.;)

    Figured i would get in on the little men bandwagon:j:beer::j
    :j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j


  • I can just see it - on your list - Andan

    ....Energy bottling, labelling, listing and ebay posting to do.

    Great stuff - hmm lodgers yeah they do add to the list now I clean and feel amazingly dfw as its for him (not us of course!!)

    Whoops best watch out SM will be telling us all off for being naughty and posting so much............ yesterday there was 60+ responses to keep her busy!! (I blame the silly wee men)

    Here they would call them the 'peedie folk' (peedie=wee or little), my favourite expression is for 'peedie-breeks' (for 'children' ie those wearing short trousers)

  • Well every day I go to work is payday for me :D . Not as good as it sounds though as self discipline required.

    Anyway, pushed myself a bit harder at work and got a bit more done than I expected (self-employed).

    Put all paper cash takings straight into the bank cashpoint to avoid temptation.

    Went for the cheapo Cornflakes in Sainsbury's (saved about £1.60 just by bending my back).

    Also in Sainsbury's noticed that Fairy liquid is being promoted at 65p instead of the usual 98p. Bought 10 bottles (I'm a window cleaner so I get through more than most). It's a business expense of course. I know there are much cheaper options than Fairy but I find it the best one for cleaning windows because it lasts so long as it saves me doing nearly so many detours back to the bucket. So saved £3.30 on something I would buy anyway.
  • I finally sorted out my phone!
    Went into Carphone Warehouse, canceled my £2.50 current bolt on and took a £7.50 one for unlimited texts instead!
    Means i will be saving £40+ a month on my phone bill, as it's usually £80+ because i go way over my text limit (500)
  • I haven't had a good day today!
    I spent £4 on a chippy lunch for me and my Mum, 'cause she's not feeling too well, I spent £8 on a gym induction, which means I'll probably spend £30 on a months membership on monday. :( (I WILL use it though - I've missed my Gym!)

    BUT I earned 400 survey points and I didn't spend any money in the aquarium shop round the corner from the gym!!
    I'll let myself off this time - it's the first time I've spent money in AGES! almost a whole week!!
