    Just popped home to have lunch with Popeye which was nice but he ate TWO meals that I had planned for him :rotfl: (chicken curry AND pie'n'mash) and I had yesterdays leftover risotto. I can see my grocery budget flying out of the window :rotfl:

    Well anyway he admired my new figures (see signature, and get your mind on loftier things ;) ). We said how well we were doing and I said just think if we didn't have debt we'd have had £20K to spend, no he said £30K.

    He's right, and I work in accounts and have been thinking £20K is OK for 2 years.......and suddenly it's £30K :j :j :j :beer: DOH!

    Fastest money raising I've ever done :rotfl: :rotfl:

    We're going to see a farce :rotfl:

    But a glass of wine on the lawn (mostly moss :o ) before we go - is that romantic enough?:love:

    And IF there is any food left in the house, and he is STILL hungry, I have a beef casserole for supper.:happyhear

    Edit to say - on re-reading your post -it's directed at Popeye isn't it? :D :rotfl:

    Well I printed off a list of jobs for him and he's already done a couple :j :j
    1. he sorted out the seepage under the sink. Just a wrongly fitting grommet :confused:
    2. He's sorted out the shed:j :j :j (It did take him all afternoon and he did say I shouldn't have tried to do it without him-but FOUR MONTHS of waiting that'd have been :eek: )
    Today he is collecting DS2 from uni :D and has already been to the butchers. Now bearing in mind that we're away at the outlaws so it's only DS2 & the lodger until Sunday evening, there is now enough meat for Desperate Dan in the fridge :rotfl: There is bacon, a pork roasting joint, a ham joint (good thing we like pig meat :rotfl: ) and mince for a shepherds pie.

    And from his list he is hoping to do:
    a bit of woodwork in our bedroom,
    put a picture up in the lodgers room,
    mend a sticking window, and
    buy the ready meals for tonight - we're having chinese as a treat.
