..even scary friends have their uses.... :heartsmil

Just promise to leave the whip away and I promise not to be scared.

How's the war zone today? KT is under her desk or something reporting in.

My evil supervisor seems to have been shipped to the far icy north ( I was thinking siberia - he's only gone as far as shetland.)

Question Piq - Janey's partner - likes horses - its her birthday very soon - whilst I can't fit a whole horse in the car - am wondering what 'horsey folks' like as pressies? Not tooo expensive - those trug buckety things any use????

hi, missed a couple of days on here, need to find a soft brick wall to hit my head against. the one at work today is just too hard. Why do i have to have a team to manage? they're more trouble than they're worth sometimes.
great news on the loan, shocking rate though isn't? I'm slinging all excess money at my overdraft at the moment, which is something i can see coming down, it's lovely to reduce it by about £100 per month rather than struggle to reduce it by £25 per month which is what i was at this time last year.

Love your plan BOB i'm still in the early days of training OH, he's new to the role and though doesn't use his overdraft or have debt i still get frustrated by all the withdrawals he makes for absolutely nothing. I just keep trying to get him to syphon off more each month into his savings account.

Does Janey's partner have a horse? If he does a schooling whip is normally gratefully received, they come with bling these days!

The brightly coloured trugs are an excellent idea and probably your best bet plus they double up for plenty of other things too.

If he hasn't a horse, you could get vouchers for riding lessons at the local school or a day of "owning a horse" ie the stable get you to do all the work for them!

Fay, if you go into Quidco (https://www.quidco.com), then the Merchants section, then Travel, and look through the list, there is all the ferry companies there (P&O, DFDS, SeaFrance etc) giving between 4-7% back.

Ta piq and Uni x - will look at quidco - our ferry folks, Northlink and Pentland ferries (use to P&O a long time ago)

(I thought I had taken the 'in the freezer' bit out:D )

Clearly thought it but didn't type it.

Car tyres shopped around and got the 4 for £190

(£110 cheaper than the first quote )

My very very long suffering OH has a salary to match his ego - lol

Getting him parted with his CC's would be a tough job - it frustrated me when we lived together how much he spent on his indulgences.

Freezer girl , not much good this time as neither of the ferry companies are on it but click on the socks




for a link to a cashback comparison site for future use.

Well done on the tyres :T

Sorry about size of pic, it won't shrink :eek:

Galleygirl you are awesome - thanks so much!!!!!!!!

Can't stop giggling - dashing to school to see if the young sir has bought someone elses report - its got lots of well dones on it.

I AM suspicious.

Just hope he used a cash back site if he bought one......................behave yourselves til later on.

I shall return. Off to find some sensible mummy clothes - and of course some stripey socks.
