Love Peach snapps, espically with a large vodka added + lemonade to top up.

I came up with the name Bentley - then realised it was the posh car firm - do have expensive taste!

The final name choice is up to dd, she wants the dog in her name, but doesnt want the bills.... shes learning fast....... xx

Some good news - my car passed its MOT, had it serviced as well, (thou the £400+ haveing wheel arches done made a difference), the bill was £180. Apparently one of my brakes was sticking, and the garage sorted it for free. Think it must be one of the only times loyalty pays.

Techincally had a no-spend day - went on dads credit card - got dds bday presents, not till Sept, but shes haveing a laptop - which is currently being built by Dell, and a big thank you to Jamtart6, she sorted out the order for me, once I saw pick ur own specifications it lost me, ordered last week, £414... but mum + dad are going halves, now the sale finished the same one gone upto £508 so very pleased.

We (mum,dad + me), said as shes haveing the big prezzie, just spend £20 each so shes got some to open, (Argos sale here we come)

DS Game £20 reduced to £9.49
Playboy Fleece -£20reduced to about £12 - there off me

ds game £20 reduced to £9.79
playboy rabbit cushion reduced think it was £10 - off mum + dad

Spa gift set, bottle shower gel (from Boots - spent £10 get free Spa bag worth £10) - thats off the new puppy - who we haven't even got yet!

We've brought a basket for the new puppy, again Argos, sale leaflet, fur lined RSPCA brand, so they make a donation......... this puppy is going to be spolit rotten.... and we haven't got it yet.

Xmas
I've explained that as shes had the laptop that wont be like last xmas a lot of presents - then she says thats ok, I'm very lucky to have laptop - phew

Then - she pipes up, its ok I'll ask Father Christmas.......oh heck...... got round it by saying that Father Christmas knows what u have for your birthday so he doesn't double up, and as he will see the laptop, (these white lies getting worse), ok then I'll just ask Father Christmas for a bottle of beer for dadda.....

Positive - got £100 of Amazon vouchers b4 we got kicked off BingoPort, so they will come in very useful.

Got through mums bday...... dad very generous, as we had to go back to Argos, he gave me £10 to take mother for dinner, we ended up at McDonalds.

Signed up offically for next OU course, starts in Oct, bit of a lap over, but slowly but surely life getting back on plan xx

Ah thats the moment I'm dreading!

Our plan A was do enough £5.00 amazon vouchers from Bingoport (mum, me + dad), worked out that by end of Nov we'd have £100 each plus the £100 we'd already got so would of been a freebie........ but as they say plans dont always work (I HATE BINGOPORT!!)

So dads credit card to the rescue, but I've tied up the money with the balance transfer I did for him, his card was 22% I got life of balance 5.9%, and now with no credit card bills (yiphee), and roughly worked out new budget, can pay my share over 4 months, I guess easier in one way with her being an only child, thou that wasnt what I wanted, but life deals you a hand of cards and for whatever reason some gd some bad, I always say the bad makes you appriciate the good..

Getrting my ebay listings ready....... xx

Have brilliant news, went to see the puppies tonight, I could of took the lot, the little girl she was beautiful, she was the only one who had liver and white markings, she came up and wee weed over my shoes, if you could imagine it, the pups were in big outside kennel blocks, the mum dog came out and sat by dad, letting her make a fuss of him, her tempermenant was placid, she was beautiful, so we finally narrowed it down to the pup that took to dd, hes black + white, tiny docked tail, got little bit of white on his ear.....

Hes beautiful, took the camera but forget to take a photo.... dd finally decided on Bailey as a name, so from 2nd Aug... Bailey has his new home xx

I'm glad you have a new pup but a DOCKED TAIL! Sorry I thought that was now illegal as it is classed as torturing the dog

Same here I thought it had been outlawed as when we had Whisky (that was 14yrs ago), there was only 6 vets that did it, apparently theres just two now.

The plans are made and he doesnt come home to 2nd Aug, so far hes got a new basket, a lcd light for his collar, a new bag for his holidays......

We had a call from the Vets 2ngt, Whiskys ashes are ready, so were going to collect Mon, and pay the dreaded bill. We sent his favourite toy to be with him, so he wouldn't be lonely.

were burying his collar, his lead, and most of his ashes in his favourite spot in the garden, then a little bit by the club in Devon, and a small bit by the cottage we stay at when we go to Tavistock, last year when we took him, it was like he'd been given an injection of youth, it knocked 10 years off him.

Good day here, took mum out for a belated birthday meal, now finishing my O U assisgnment, think I may shot the tutor the 1st of 4 that I havent asked for an extension, and if I can get finished 2ngt, be a whole 24hrs before the deadline...

The cat from nxt dr has made herself at home, shes now curled up on the settee with dad.........
Apparently she now ignores the neighbours!! x
