  • Here we go then, all down hill till payday:j
    I had a lovely weekend, did some walking:rolleyes: and some socialising:beer: ended up with 12 for spag bol at mine on Sat (not sure how that happens) but I did it without going over my grocery budget - nice mince but value toms/ pasta and garlic bread:p no one noticed it was great, desert was a HM cherry cheesecake and there was loads.
    Sunday was official nerd day- I created yet another spreadsheet with all my estimated debt busting and spending for Feb (including decorating my daughters bedroom and a plumber's visit to sort out the flush:o ) So now I'm curious if I can really turn that prediction into reality:confused: :rotfl:
    Did I mention I got a terimundi for my birthday? I'm saving for a holiday in Oct:D I also got a set of (wildy inaccurate lying [EMAIL="B@$tard"]B@$tard[/EMAIL]) bathroom scales:eek:
    Have a good week all xxxx

    Hi OBNW. Just popping on to say Hi and that I'm ok. Thanks for your kick in the pants!!

    The mexican meal was great - it was great to all bring a bit .... very DFW. I will get everyone to dress up next time!

    It has been a long month but it was my payday today. I have done my 'shiny new spreadsheet' too and on Saturday will go and draw out my cash to live on. I have still got a couple of pounds left from this month with 3 days to go!

    I think the batteries have gone on my scales. They are digital and keep sticking at the same weight!! They even go up some days! Think I might start wasting 50p per week to get weighed in Boots ... the printed ticket may be an incentive if I stick it on the fridge!

    Hope you are ok and have shrugged off your 'grump'. We have snowdrops in the garden and the nights are getting lighter!

    Hugs,

    Lewbs xx

  • OK now picture the scene.....

    The curtains open, and there in the spot light is Olderbutnotwiser sporting a red curly wig, a hand smocked dress and ankle socks. She opens her mouth and sings...
    ' Tumurra tumurra i luv ya tumurra
    paydays only a day errway'

    She curtseys politely and exits stage left
