Obviously they are so personal no one else could have chosen them so you were obligated to get them yourself weren't you?

Edit Late today

Not to be out done on the naughtiness front - I have just been out Christmas shopping. I bought:-

A pair of trouser boots - FOR MYSELF
A pair of fabulous gloves - FOR MYSELF
A polo neck jumper - FOR MYSELF
Some perfume - *cough* for myself

Christmas!

Ops :rotfl:

hmphhh, I don't remeber you making excuses for me!;)

No spend day and is going to be a no alcohol day to:j(honest!)

I am going to have to bite the bullet and finally put some fuel in my car tomorrow.

My lovely neighbour took in a huge parcel for me today, the jumpers etc. that I ordered the other day. I am being good, havn't opened the package yet!:rotfl:

ok, I'll try to think of something next time you step off the straight and narrow:D

I think you'll find you need to use a diesel pump....

Seriously though, it would be interesting to monitor your consumption by recording the miles driven and fuel added; then compare to the in-car readings over a few months to see if they agree. My car reads 30.4mpg but when distance and actual fuel added is considered it comes out at about 28.8mpg... but you do need to fill the tank each time. Not an issue for me doing 300miles per week commuting, but you may want to think about hauling the full fuel tank round if you usually do short journeys?

Normally do much more mileage, just been in normal place of work and lots of back and forth to mum and dads with all the upset. Would normally be doing about 300 miles per week, but only done 480 the last three weeks! Will pick up next week though (boo)

Lol at the diesel pump!

You are soooo right.

• I have been looking to replace my current boots for ages, they are falling to bits and just couldn't find the right thing. The one's I got yesterday are to die for:D.
• The gloves - well I always put them on my Christmas list and nobody ever buys me them so I just had to get them myself:D
• The polo neck jumper is to get me warm so I don't have to put the CH on (it's money saving;))
• the perfume was cheap (so it was also money saving:p)

I'm going "Christmas" shopping again later :rotfl:

Poo to your work's accounts department! Hope it gets resolved for you.

I hope you can get the pay resolved; can you start noting things like the missing payments and duration and noting interest lost etc? Would it in any way help?

Enjoy your (MSE) shopping spree!

I've had a few glasses of rose wine!

Done a big Tesco shop and filled up with diesel. (got 5p off a litre though!)

Dad is continue to improve physically but I am worried about his emotional state.
