The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Pippilongstocking

Ok Confession - not a decent one yet - will keep a decent one til you are bored.

I don't like cakes
Or chocolate
Or anything sweet
Or puddings

I hasten to add this does not make me skinny - I am a plumplet

I am not a real girl although I do look like one........I just dont like 'normal' girl stuff. Prefer mud and lots of it.

Although I do watch girlie movies - Watched 'The Jane Austin Book Club' with dd at weekend was lovely.

i wish i didnt like sweet things.......and crisps..............and doughnuts...........and biscuits............

Kittikins

I like sweet things, savoury things, everything bar meat....yup, I'm proof you can be a fat vegetarian People are often surprised when I say I've not eaten meat for 27 years, the fools!

Brighton/Scottish island - we could do a houseswap, lol. Do you have sand up there? I'm bored of stony beaches....I lived in Scotland when I was a baby, keep on saying I'd like to head up north to see what it's like, think the furthest I've been is Hull!

Pippilongstocking

Ah ha we do indeed have sand. Brighton always sounds so lovely.

I am going to drive to france in Summer - Granny annie stays other side of hte Humber bridge - so was thinking about doing Hull Zebrugger - I love down south that way - been to Cornwall couple times (EX EX EX family live in Saltash)

When you leave here to go anywhere folks ask you when you are going 'SOOTH' doesnt matter if its John o Groats or Cornwall - its all 'SOOTH'

My downfall is food, mainly bread, and cheese, and anything savory really and of course red wine, white wine, malt whisky and gin and tonics. I am however cutting down on those things so I DO expect my tummy to disappear without the aid of a dyson, am alllergic to exercise you see, terrible condition.

I have spent the past 2 mornings, (when I really should have been doing something else....oops) reading through your thread.

I have been lucky, as the times something outrageous (sp) has been said, I haven't been drinking coffee! But I have been guffawing none the less!

You sound like you lead a very interesting life, and your ex hubby doesn't know what he is missing (doesn't he know vet stupid woman will trade him in for a sexy french bloke now they are over there... )

I always fail to see how men can't understand that when they leave the outgoings for the children remain the same or increase, so how do they expect these to be paid, without them paying their fair share? :rolleyes:

Anyway best of luck with your debt busting

Hi I've just been reading your diary and have found myself laughing out loud ! How do I subscribe to a thread ? I'm quite new here !!

Pippilongstocking

Morning all

Hiya Chev, Haleygrey, MM and Mummy em (think um you hit on thread tools and subscribe? I wouldnt though far too much nonsense and scary whips here?!!)
Chev - I agree - and when they stop paying what do they think the kids are eating/wearing??? Its not the all the 'emperors new clothes' for one thing - its a bit breezy MM (hurrah for silly socks)!!

Piq just a thought re that money making thing involving whips.... you could supervise house/stable cleaning.
I could maybe supervise garden maintenance?? I do have a decent table tennis paddle?
Away for an update..........

Daily Update -
(thank you piq for the cunning update in a diff colour :A )

Yesterday - Paid the first extra payment off my 'scary hairy maclairy' loan :j
Whilst I know this isn't new to any of lots of you its really uncharted territory for me.


Added up going away this week (wont put it here as its too scary for a couple days away) Keep thinking argh maybe this should just go to debt - but we don't get much time together as the cherubs go to see daddy in holidays so its nice to have some time - will check out how much exactly and compare the two ferry companies.


I called scary credit card people (barclaycard - first credit) the interest is frozen on that debt I am not paying any - therefore I think it can wait


Decided having taken advice and talked it through the scary maclairy loan can get my extra attention first


New lodger girl money wasn't really expected so considering throwing the whole lot of that extra to the loan each month. ?
The loan seems to have the interest applied to the balance each three months (4% every 3 months I think - be gentle I am very new at this 16% - can that be right? I have had this loan since 2003 - many expletives if that's right:eek: ) so in my new DFW thinking - the more that's off the balance as quick as possible is the way forward???


It is actually (is this sad?!) quite exciting thinking - right sleeves up - come on RBS you Bleeps - you aint getting much more of my money as interest.



Busy day today - need finalise something for my evil supervisor
(I have 4 there is only one who is particularily worthy of being fed to rabbid sheep or given to a cannabil and eaten with a very little spoon):D
So......need keep him happy somehow or other - as I can neither (according to the evil one) 'write nor express myself clearly' this will be a challenge.


Dunno how to do the 'work out when you might actually be debt free bit' but will sort that out soon. OH seems a bit perplexed about my sorting things out?


Must email lodger girlie and sort out lease, deposit and first months rent.

Watch out scary hairy maclairy loan.

ps Hairy Maclairy is a funny wee dog in a kids book that looks like my dog ''peedie'':D
