Old Style Diary Archive - APR 06

Hiya,

I am so sad to see Squeaky leaving but I am hopeful that he will still pop in now and again to say hi.

PP - Do please complain, how will they ever get it right if they aren't aware of their short comings.

I hope the CQ is ok too, Its been a long time since she popped in, :hello: Hi if yr reading this.

I have not been around for a few days, things were going well, then they all turned bad. Not to worry though, I think things are going to be ok and its to do with money so at least it isn't health related this time!!!


I didn't have a moment to do any cleaning yesterday as I was busy stressing out so I have a long list of 'bits' to do, hoover, empty bin etc.

Must get the WM on in a mo, hang out clean sheets as its a lovely day here, then jump in the shower, iron some clothes and knuckle down to some coursework. I spent the evening last night finishing the first bit off so I need to spend a good few hours today on the second bit.

I am not sure what we r going to eat today but you can bet yr bottom dollar it will involve chips as we have 9 bags :eek: in the freezer, I used vouchers from The Sun and they ran out at the weekend so we had to stock up!

Have a lovely day all,

As you may have noticed, music is basically the only thing I still spend any serious money on... (oh, and wine - must remember to place an order this week )

Aaah - a girl after my own heart! I can't live a day without music (or wine!). We are very lucky to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra on our doorstep with the brilliant Marin Alsop so I get to go to quite a few concerts. We don't get much opera down here though, which is a shame as it really is a big passion of mine.

I've just learnt about Squeaky, too. He will be missed soooo much. I do wonder how he managed to keep his patience and humour somethimes though!

jaybee - why do you think I choose to live in such a bl**dy horrendously expensive city?

I worked out that my expenditure on my music habit (which includes cheap tickets for 2-3 concerts or operas a week in London, subscription to Opera magazine, subscription to Friends of Covent Garden which is vital for the priority booking, a budgeted day to day overspend throughout the entire Proms season, Proms Arena Season Ticket, standing room tickets for Glyndebourne plus travel and picnic, etc etc etc) works out about the same as a 40-a-day cigarette habit :eek: but is much healthier

I hardly buy any CDs or DVDs though (don't need them with all that live music!) and am weaning myself off programmes

I'm not doing anything vaguely old style today as it's my birthday and I'm going to have a really lazy day.

Happy Birthday Black-Saturn

Only 4 days till mine, wonder what DH has got me?

Had to come back here to brag Even after having to buy DD all new clothes as she has sprouted like a seedling, paying £24 to have DS's bike repaired and treating myself to a new outfit from Primark I have managed to squirrel away £270 into the savings account, £20 into the car tax account and still have £57 in the main account to last until Friday

And I've managed to make one CC payment early (just after the statement arrived but before payday) and cleared one catalogue account
