Bet the hair looks fab!
I love the 10p noodles, especially the curry flavour and porridge, might go and grab a bowl for my tea as not in mood to cook.
Have a lovely evening x0 -
:jYeah I subtly try and get the kids to eat 10p noodles for one of their meals a few times a week as it is such a bargain. I don't do it tho when they are on sandwich lunches but since DS was at home today it was a good time to do it! I can't stand them myself but my kids used to have them and enjoy them at the after school club - it was them that asked me to buy them - FAB!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I love 10p noodles but don't buy them enough!
Just had soup for dinner cos got the gym tonight and getting taken for lunch tomorrow so hopefully will be a couple more NSD's for me, yeah!
If you're feeling better with the new hairdo, a new top to ahem top it off will be good, go for it, it all adds to first impressions!
Oh well better go get ready for the gym, you can tell I'm so excited about it, not!0 -

SH hope DS is ok now ( like the Mcflurry medication) think I might try it lol
having your hair done is sooo expensive but definitely worth it, think of it as 'me' time
good luck with the interview and presentation
my kids love 10p noodles so we do have them occasionally , urghh i hate them, i like proper noodles though. just bought a book called 'the good scots diet' got it for 19p! its all about the scottish diet in times gone by and how healthy it was and how the scottish diet is now infamously bad!
I was wondering whether eating the old way ( within reason I dont fancy boiling cows blood for tea :eek:) would be not only healthy but cheaper, I will have to let you know when I have read it
hope youre all ok x0 -

Hi SC, I would agree (being Scottish) that the Scots diet probably isn't the healthiest! Have you ever tried haggis? Love, love, love it!
Well savingholmes, glad DS enjoyed the McFlurry, and the ironing was put away (listen to me, I don't even iron), ha!
Have a nice night, just gonna watch The Mentalist! x0 -
Hi SC and Swinstie - glad you liked the food thoughts... I'm currently watching the mentalist- very fanciable LOL!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Not a chance!Now you've done your ironing, do you want to come and do mine????
Please!!??
It took me a couple of weeks of being off work to get round to mine!:rotfl:You know that declutter thing you keep talking about in your diary - well I still need to do mine... I only ever manage to scratch the surface!
At least when I am working I can blame everything I've not done in the house on how busy work is - shame my house looks even worse now I am off! If I'm not careful I end up surrounded by a debris field around me and my laptop! Not cool!:eek:
Thanks for popping in LOL! Happy to make you a brew - unfortunately you live a few hours away I think....Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
