    well done fay. gargamel doesn't stand a chance!! it takes me back to my school days though. my mum allowed us to watch 10 minutes of tele in the morning while we all ate our breakfast and bbc2 (i think) used to show cartoons in the morning. everyday when we put the tele on the smurfs were on. me and my bro used to love it. it was the highlight of our morning! :rolleyes:

    hope DS feels better soon and that you're not coming down with it too

    HI Starnac - we didnt get to watch telly!!

    Moved money to gargamel today :) all DD's for the month are out.

    DD's pressie will arrive early Dec - so hoping even with delays all should be OK - I think to be honest I've done my xmas shopping in the whole (dunno what to give OH as a pressie?) he's got bits and bobs.

    I need work on a plan to stock up on xmas type food stuffs - well at least some kind of plan that doesn't involve shopping that close to xmas (which will involve eating some of the millions of things currently in the freezer!)

    Major rethinks re work - will explore these when my head's less fuddled. And I am further into my writing.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    she's nice that my mum was as well, we were barely even allowed to watch childrens tv in the evening.

    Well i've had the MSE tester subjects swine flu jab today. According to my work 'friends' i will either die or no longer be able to walk forwards and will only be able to walk backwards! As i didn't get much of a choice over the jab i thought i would report for my MSE friends in case they need the jab as well. One hour in and my arm is still attached and i can still type.

    Hope you start feeling better soon fay.
