Pippilongstocking

£450 in the evil one's secret stash Edna my dear we are almost half way

Mince, (OK mince and soya mince mixed together) tatties, neeps and dumplings for tea nom nom nom

Went to bank but was shut ? - Slackers - will go later to pay in rent+deposit from lodger (only 1 months rent - paying 2 months next month when I was brave and said UM NO we don't do things in arrears - OK for this next month til you get sorted but um NO not normally)

And pay in expenses cheque (£450)

Can clear Lloyds cc later on (I normally clear it every month) BUT been waiting for various bits of expenses and the balance is at £778 at the mo

Cleared Capital one last week

Well done on the firmness Fay :T A little (peedie?) bit of assertiveness now should ensure that you are not walked all over in the future. (that's the theory, though it IS scary sometimes :o)

Waves to olive this is kinda how my day started today.................god how I hate autumn here.

No leaves on trees soon, no colour just wind and rain til everything is blown off

Thank goodness am inside today!

Whereas it is hot and sunny here :rotfl:
I'll be lazing in the pool after the guys have been to clean it

However internet connection is rubbish - it crashed when I looked at your attachment!

Its cold here, Fay, tho not windy or raining. Olive, I'm definitely getting jealous! And as for swimming............ omigod, omigod, omigod, I could *so* do with a swim in warm water outside............... ah well.

Fay, sorry things were tough over the weekend - if somebody had said that to me, "time for you to be going, I've got things to do", I'd have been really shocked, actually. I'd have gone into automatic and just done what she wanted, and felt really carp afterwards. A walk on the beach, even if it still leaves you muddle headed, is exactly the right thing - and then come on here and vent, of course!

Olive jealous -

KC - thanks I did find it abit odd - which made me feel really odd in return I guess


**Boots***
Our boots has loads of fragrances reduced at the back of the shop for £5-£6 for hugo boss, calvin klien etc

No idea if anyone's will be might be worth a look, looks liek they are sorting out old stock and putting up new stock - so it MIGHT be a nationwide thing?

Goodluck......

I got CK one and Kenzo flowers as pressies for xmas and a voucher for £5 off which had an online code

hi Fay, back officially from holiday as am back on MSE.
we had a lovely time, relatively frugal but not excessively so and we had a lovely time. Had a great day yesterday as it was our first wedding anniversary, went out for a nice meal to finish of a normal pottery day but at least it was a day we spent together. OH was terrible at suggesting what i could give him as a pressy so i made him an exploding box with lots of messages and stuff in it including a pop out heart. i've also told him i will get him a couple of days fishing at our local lake when he wants to go.
OH had his interview today, i was a jittery nervous wreck and he was very chilled about it. I think something went wrong with that equation somehow! He's been told he should find out within 2 weeks, but he's made some more decisions about his current job if this one doesn't materialise.
Just done the accounts for the month and updated my signature, well over half of my total debt paid off now and over 2/3rds of Diavolo paid off. Can't see how i can pay more than the normal monthly amount and my 'basic overpayment' this month to Diavolo but it's still a lot of money to pay off so i shouldn't grumble, i just want to clear it as quickly as possible and 12 months early just isn't good enough.
It's going to be tricky this month, going to have to only spend on petrol and groceries, and even groceries are going to be cut back. OH went freezer diving this arvo and it's obvious we only need cat stuff and fruit and veggies for most of this month so fingers crossed we'll be able to stay on the straight and narrow this month.


sorry to bore everyone, but i've got a weeks worth of chatting to chat up on lol

LT's back wooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooo

Good sock saving cutting off your leg - but probably hard to walk - I was thinking of cutting my belly off - but where would I keep my food?

LT - swimming is good for you - go for it if you can

Personally I HATE IT

But then again I am a lazy toad :cool:
