Flying gleefully into 2009 - One Fresians adventures in debt-busting

Hi,

I got into Edinburgh Costco by working for a big bad insurer. In my younger more dyslexic days I thought the big glass building and the sign saying Scottish Windows made perfect sense. Costco had a list of big companies they dealt with and used to pop along every now and again offering sign-up offers. Not sure if your Bank is our bank or the one we jilted to marry our bank and then go poygamous with the other bank who used to be married to SLAC Alice!

Break that code and I buy you a big ice cream at the Fringe!

I really wanted to see the Macbeth performed on a Bouncy Castle last year. There was a disclaimer that they could only promise to perform as long as the castle didn't go POP. Picture the "Is that a dagger?" scene, followed by Bang followed by the new scene starting "Oh bu££er!"

I work for the bank who your former bank just married in somewhat of a shotgun wedding

I shall try heading along with a payslip and my ID card and hope I don't get run out of the building with pitchforks and flaming torches by angry taxpayers!

It was getting like a bad day on Eastenders, all the jilting and crying and CEOs refusing to come out of the toilets in case they saw "them" again. Now I know why the Exec loos carry a full range of toiletries...it's for those brave face touch ups when Fred doesn't love me any more and has run off with Archie in the next street.

Allegedly when we married the Big Black Horsey we hadn't told our current long term lover that we were even seeing someone else and they found out in their chaffeur driven car over the radio. Boys can out Hissy Fit us anyday. Its like Brad and Jen and Angie without the glamour, sex-appeal or glossy touch-ups :rotfl:

Biffy on sale at 9am, Faith No More at ten

We should totally meet up if you come through from Weegieland for the gig, would be rude not to!

Well OH tried from 10am on the dot for about 45 mins to get tickets constantly pressing refresh but couldn't get them so he is quite peeved but we managed to get Biffy tickets so its not all bad.

I'm glad you managed to get yours and not all of them went to money thieving touts (there were tickets on ebay at 10.15am! :mad:)

We went to see a set tonight by a comedian called Reginald D Hunter who was excellent and I hear he is playing the fringe so I may try and get tickets for that.

I ended up getting mine through the Fringe box office. I could try tomorrow and see if there are any left if you like...

Perhaps you could give them a ring to see what you now need to join ...

When i joined years ago i had to show a company letter head , which had the vat number etc on it ... ( it was years ago , so that may have changed now ) ...

Good luck !

Money Woe-is-me!

Hee-haw in my purse
Same in Groceries account
£8 in PAD account
£10 in Spends account

Money for the hotel room in November came out of my account today - I would have put it on the credit card until payday but there was a £1.50 fee for this. Grrr....

Grand Plans for today are:

• Make living room habitable as brother is coming to stay for the night
• Tidy bedroom - I'm going to lose one of the cats in the mess if I don't sort it out!
• Wash dishes
• Do some washing
• Get dressed at some point

For now though, I'm going to finish my coffee and play a very fun computer game!

Most of the dishes are done, pans are soaking as I type. I have lumped all the [strike]sh*te[/strike] junk from the floor onto the bed, so I can't go to sleep until it's all away! I have cleared out one shelf of my wardrobe and have got a whole binbag full of handbags for the carboot sale I have also found some things that I can Ebay - a handbag I didn't know was designer, a Matthew Williamson handbag (with dustbag) and some (hopefully) collectible music gubbins.

I am on my third cup of black coffee and am having a wee sit down before I crack on with the 2nd tier of the wardrobe :rotfl:

*edit* Still not dressed though!

LOL - how could you possibly forget owning a designer handbag???
