    Evening BOB are you feeling any better?
    Mr BOB never fails to amuse me with his very frustrating antics...you must love him or have loads of patience...lol

    I have been trying to figure it out myself:rotfl:
    He is a thoroughly nice chap, everyone who meets hims says so and i must admit he makes me laugh...years of amusement there! If only he was as savvy as he is nice:o

    Did i mention he can balance to a penny where he works?:rolleyes:
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:
  • That's made me :rotfl::rotfl:





    Snort,,, that sounds just like Mr GA - I even list the pack sizes / quantaties / brand etc ..... still comes back with something different :rolleyes: Then I get the excuse .... they didnt have any .... how come EVERY time I go - I get exactly (ok the odd exception) what's on the list ... EVERY time HE goes ... :mad:

    *Toddles off to check dinner*

    G:A xx

    Yep they must be soul mates or typical of most chaps..he does try though and has kept everything ticking away while i have been ill:DI am just going to be more savvy with the shopping for the rest of the month.:cool:

  • :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I know its :eek: but you gotta :D even thugh you really want to :confused:...what is he like...bet he came back from shopping so chuffed cos he had change didnt he! I am beginning to wonder if mr bob is actually my twin...oh dear! Cant belive he (1) wen for consolodation and (2) was so :confused: that he actually thought it was a good idea! and as for men in shops...in my book should be banned!:cool: hugs for you bob...feel better soon :D

    You hit the nail on the head there:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Took me all night to get it off him though:eek:

    He did think the loan was a good idea, i suppose i was just a bit naffed off that he discussed it with them and also that it would only clear his stuff and my name would be on it:cool: I think it is because i reached the end of my tether with it this time as to the amount run up. I know i have been guilty in the past and am no angel when it comes to money ( who is?) But i hope i have learned the difference between need and want, and that compound interest is a killer...biggest one for me though is the statements which say XXX amount to spend I now mentally think of that as xxx amount for debt

    Although credit where it is due, when i looked in freezer, he has been to Farm foods and bought things and used a voucher off, so freezer is full:o I am not exactly sure what i will eat though as non of it is slimming and of course as Shaun pointed out - it is to his taste ( starving man, wifey laid up and what is easy to cook?):rotfl:

    For what it's worth BOB if I send MR TAXI shopping (which I don't) he'll buy anything without checking prices or offers.He has no idea about prices.It must be a man thing.
