    I like that one , :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    So do I!!! Good quote k2tog! Unfortunately, we seem to have a culture where idiots are rewarded. Have set in motion another cunning plan to save some jobs. Don't think I can pull it off, but it's worth a try!

    I am waving to you - not sure I like this diary moving thingmy.

    I feel very peculiar not being on the normal board with SM and all the others.........

    I still don't like it much, it's put me off posting a bit and I'm a bit concerned that I don't see all the sad posts. That sounds a bit weird and I don't mean it to. Rarely can I help them as I'm an idiot with my own money so don't feel equiped to give advice, but I can keep an eye on them and give a virtual hug sometimes.

    lovely day for a hack Piq - hope there aren't any hunts passing :D

    Hunts on Saturdays, we had a wander through the woods and admired and ate some of the wild flowers :o

    daily update

    The quiet time of the month financially again. My spreadsheet says that provided I don't spend anything else between now and payday I will have another £150 to throw at the card.

    It's difficult to believe I've actually got left over money at the tail end of the month, not sure that this has ever happened before. But I haven't had any new clothes, shoes, books, magazines or beauty products. It's interesting how little I miss them :rolleyes:

    Very tempted to buy one of the wall fixed rotary dryers, but before I commit myself I need to find someone who's handy with a drill that goes into brick work. Will start the research work on price and drill wielders....

    It's not long until his favourite wild flower is out, cow parsley.... we do dramatic veers into fields and hedgerows if I'm not concentrating :rotfl:I have a fantastic photo of the two of us galloping down a field with him joyfully trailing about six foot of cow parsley from his mouth. Looked like he was [STRIKE]eating[/STRIKE] carrying a bridal bouquet :rotfl:

    Wild garlic is another tasty treat.... he has no respect for hedgerows or gardens, they are only a horse sweetshop...

    daily update

    Got a battery for the scales, from the office stationery cupboard, naughty but saved me money...
    I have put on two stone since working for idiot boss :eek:have realised comfort eating is possibly not the answer. It's certainly not making him feel guilty or uncomfortable, only me...
    :rolleyes:So, ladies on Fay's diary and anyone else who wants to join in, here goes Piq's 'get into her summer clothes' diet. I started at 6:00am and have stuck to it all morning :T There won't be any twink's hobnobs for a while and the wine will have to stay in the wine rack:(

    Moneywise, not a lot going on, all direct debits and bills paid and today will be a no spend day too.

    As part of the company's cost cutting they have disconnected the vending machine! They have also stopped supplying sugar and milk :rolleyes:

    Who on Earth gets these ideas? Is your special boss on overtime Piq? Will the beatings continue until morale improves? Poor you!
    Oh gosh, I mentioned beatings in front of Hamster.....
