Mmm, you've reminded me now. Of old habits in that direction. Which I do occasionally now - but rarely because of the expense etc - but I regularly purchased the 10 piece buckets from KFC, made it last 2 days. Or, at one point, there was not one week went by when I DIDN'T order a seafood mega sized deep pan pizza on the weekend where I lived back then. Or, the time I went crazy over kebab meat, burgers etc for home delivery. Convinced they were putting something in the kebab meat because I kept ordering it and wanted more of it. lolmany e numbers etc - note to self : DO NOT EAT JUNK EVEN IF IT TASTES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
In fact, am thinking of treating myself - last time was Xmas for this particular one - of buying a KFC bargain bucket sometime next week. Also gives me an excuse to travel to the one on the coast I enjoy visiting.Any help, opinions, views I may hold those are my own. Respect them as you would expect the same in return. Offered freely, is gleaned from a lifetime of experiences, knowledge gaining. Passed on to benefit others. I may be direct, ask you questions but those are to help you. Up to you if you choose to take it. I won't judge you either way.

Lily brilliant xx
SM well done - woo hoo - I am no nearer doing a thing for my 'virtual weigh in' on Monday.
DS just been offered a week away with his best pal to Northumberland (will contribute £100 to my pal) but that means he won't notice not having his normal two weeks at dads and means he gets a pile of fun too - then we will all meet up in Edinburgh and I can take him mountain biking before they set off for Dads a couple days later. So chuffed for him. Whilst its not super cheap he will have lots of fun. xx
Might rent his bedroom out whilst he is away (joke, joke, ok - wont rent it but it will be empty)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:0 -
