  • Evening all

    Loving the randomness and wideranging nature of today's conversations :D

    Am pleased to report an accidental NSD! I don't know how it happened, wonder if another one will strike me tomorrow. I have been MSE-ing for a few months but having whacked the credit cards into submission I have slacked off a lot. Also got low-fat tuna mayo ready for tomorrow's lunch. Boring but necessary.

    Anybody seen the pink suede platform shoes boots in Asda? They are sooooooooooo nice and only £15! They only had 4's and 8's in my Asda - I am a 6 :eek:

    My first time having a bash at this quoting business, but forced into action by mention of PINK SUEDE :heart2: I think these shoes might be on Asda Direct - Peardrop Platforms?

    Hey All

    I'm back and had a really fab time away.

    Was on canal boat with my parents for a week which was actually pretty fun - even the locks!! (I kept thinking how good all this excercise was for my bingo wings......) We were so lucky with the weather and I def feel like I've managed to get a bit of a tan. :j

    It was all very civilised, we'd sit down in the evening and listen to the proms on radio 3 with a glass of red, and I'd get out my needlework and my mum would get out her knitting.


    Hello Makeup and wow your hol sounds fab! I have fancied a canal boat holiday for ages, good to hear it was fun. I like the idea of compulsory slow pace. How was it for space, did you feel a bit cramped up? I have hesitated about it because I'd probably go with friends and worry about us all feeling the lack of space.

    Hmmmm....I'm thinking of a previous suggestion regarding wine - incorporate into grocery budget :D

    I think it's an excellent idea as getting it out of the treats allowance severely depletes the treats allowance, plus getting it in the supermarket shop allows you to take advantage of the 3 for £10 deals and means you avoid those trips to the shop for wine which end up costing £20 on stuff you don't need. :D

    ShoeGal, get those shoes, £15 won't break the bank and they will cheer you up.:D
