  • He he

    Done the shopping <28 quid - I have my snacks (seafoody goodness) and a movie and a nice glass of something lovely and cold.

    Goodluck with the eyes LT - I am as blind as a bat, don't think my eyes can get any worse - unless there is a white stick involved (think mr macgoo)

    Piq - you do give good advice - away to annoy the little darlings - good tip on the country and western - I find the spice girls have hte same effect.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:

    ...last resort with the country and western - add a little line dancing routine, so embarrassing for teenagers ;)

    Hi, well I'm seriously p'eed off. Asked for playboy duvet set on freecycle and got it and youngest turned her nose up at it! I'm raging. Ok so maybe I shouldn't have told her it was freecycle. But half her stuff in her room is from freecycle and she recently got clothes from a relative. Ungrateful or what? So tempted to give it to my pal's teenage daughter just to spite her!

    or is that just bad?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
  • Hello - give it to your pals daughter - I would - sometimes they just need a virtual slap!!!! So giving away something that they probably want anyway should do it.

    Or keep it and wrap it up for xmas/bday x

    thanks she knows about it and what its like, just can't believe she's being that ungrateful! She knows half the stuff she has has come from freecycle even though I haven't said up front. The time I thought why not and she says no. Sorry but not spending 50 quid on the new one, she can want. Think I will give it to my pal's daughter at least I know she'll be grateful!

    how is everyone?

    I agree, give it away, if she doesn't want it, let her have something really horrible instead - a scratchy old blanket and sheet like people used to use before duvets were invented; she'll soon come begging for the cover then, lol.

    Yay to me - I managed a NSD today :) and even made £1 as I saw a coin glistening on a driveway when out with DD. Now, do I put it in my sealed pot as it was really pennies from heaven, or do I keep it in my purse as I seem to have spent a stupid amount of money over the last couple of days :(

    It was a GORGEOUS sunny day, made me think that I must have SAD as I felt like me again today rather than the miserable whiny lardy beeyatch that I've been for months!! Here's hoping for another good day tomorrow.....

    We had one of those up here too and I felt really good, so maybe we've all had SAD! Its amazing the difference a bit of sun makes. Even got washing out on the line!
