    Hi All!

    Right! I am back from Exeter - 5h20 there and 4h20 back!! To say that I have seen enough of the inside of my car for a while is an understatement.

    Moneywise, I did ok.... bugetted £140 for the weekend and spent £147 - this did include a present for the baby (due 4 weeks!) and a new necklace for me so not too bad all in all. I have enough diesel in my car to last another 240 miles, so that should last 2 weeks (equivalent to £20) so that will get knocked off my weekly budget and the money sent to my HSBC OD.

    Still have all of this weeks budget of £60 to go so I'm ok! (helps when you leave your purse at home so you can't buy lunch!! :o Thank god for having a food stash in your desk drawer!)

    OH did a good job on planting the veggies in the new veggie patch!! He even constructed nice bamboo wig-wams for the beams to grow up! I even have a sweet pepper plant growing as well too!

    So all in all I had a lovely weekend catching up with the girlies from uni and their bumps! Fell in love with Dexter the beagle - I WANT ONE!!! Scatty as hell, but sooo funny! (best part of the weekend? 1am Sunday morning, sliding down the death slide in the childrens park with a bottle of beer in my hand - naughty, but sooo funny!)

    I will try and get through all your diaries later! Work is still manic with people trying to get to grips with the new system - luckily the old system server that died last week has only lost the last half days trading - so not too much to re-input (worst case scenario would have been a month to re-do!!)

    Love to all and keep up the good work! Nats :beer:
    Need to go and get my head roudn this outdoor snakes and ladders (arty job) but tonight I just want to go home and go to sleep!

    Hi Nats

    Sounds like a brilliant weekend and well done on sticking near on the budget - I think really you're under as you still have 2 wks diesel left!! ;) I like the sound of sliding down the slide at 1am beer in hand - definitely my idea of the end to a good night too!

    Your OH sounds talented with bamboo wigwams - keep me updated on your veggies!!

    Glad to hear work server not as bad as could have been ... and look forward to update when you get a chance!!

  • Just thought I'd say Hi and well done and that I'm really really jealous that you are growing veg as that is my dream for when I have a bit more time.
    Take care
