:rotfl: Andan - that must qualify as one of your longest lists ever:eek: :eek:

I have refrained from killing any decorators so far today- don't want bumps in the patio;) , but they are all skulking about looking very sorry for themselves after having a good b*******ng from their contracts manager - as it has now cost their firm lots of dosh to redo the lounge - the paper is £20+ a roll and room is huge.(they managed to hang it upside down yesterday:eek: )

Hi Andan
Amazing list

Re the pop

We (well the kids )drink value fizzy water (18p 2 ltrs?) with squash - its just like pop but so much cheaper (and better for you)

I just drink fizzy water - takes a bit of getting use to BUT when I worked in a night club you had to pay for juice but fizzy water was free - soon developed a taste for fizzy water although it did take a bit of time, I do like a bit of lime in it now.

You prob do it already but might be worth a go.

Some fizzy juice police person in our house won't let fizzy sugar (or diet) juices in the door -

My biggest acheivement was changing the OH - took nearly 3 years.

SM well done on no deed bodies

Sorry, my NSD turned into a 'meet friend for coffee' chat, which turned into a 'book browse' so didn;t have time for coffee, but just purchased a 60p can of diet coke to ease throat for this afternoon. Think I chatted too much rubbish at lunchtime, have a throat of razorblades! Low Spend Day at least (and out of my 'spending money' pot) x

Andan, you may have already looked on it but just incase there is a website called London is Free which you could check out.

Pippilongstocking

Andan I dont know if this is something that you might be interested in but one of my pals is going to this (and invited us to go with them)

Thinking of the treatments you do is it worth having a look at this big green event in August this year - might not be suitable but it does look interesting and in your (?) sort of neck of the woods? Sorry if its not suitable or you know about it already.

SM, a long list i agree, but i love crazy busy days where you get to catch up with everything. Got the music going and got myself working away!!

Fay, i tend to buy the very cheap pop but want to stop buying as much as even then it works out expensive when you drink as much pop as i do and when i have already paid for the water!! Fizzy water is an idea though, so, thanks for that.

Debt free me, i haven't looked at that site but sounds great so will do so in a mo, thank you.

Fay, the big green gathering sounds interesting, will also check that out later, thank you!

Now, back to my crazy busy list!!
