Grrrrrr to cars SM

Thanks for thread Milly

Urg as SM says Andan posts regularly still on the 101 blog so she is doing ok, just a busy bee as always!

No Moneysaving for me today as I am going to the West End to see Priscilla Queen of the desert. The tickets were half price and we are driving to the outskirts of london so we will only have to pay tube fare. Apart from that it may be a bit splurgey!!

Have a lovely day all x x

I might pm/email you when I get my head straight as you had lots of good advice before


Still thinking through decisions and not agreeing or signing anything until I get some more advice and my head cleared a bit.

Sounds like a good plan. Take your time. I'll be here when you need me.

afternoon all

All this talk of sunshine making me jealours. Its wet here. That horrible drizzly rain too Had a busy day so far.


First list is the remainder of yesterday

• chased CCCS to speak to relevant person regarding reposession order. STILL cant get through to the right person and will be Monday at earliest. Getting worried now.
• Phoned electric bill and paid partial payment and agreed to have prepayment meter fitted so I can pay off the debt and stop getting myself in trouble with big bills.
• Made big PAD's as it was pay day.

However, then blew it by getting a chinese and dvd on the way home.


Today's list

• go to work for shower after taking dog walk to save on my electric and hot water
• take dog for long walk for stress relief and excersise
• go into Edinburgh and park in works other office car park to save on parking fees
• dont buy anything for myself in town (getting present for girl who is leaving work to have baby)
• do scratchies
• check banking
• read up lots of forums on here to catch up whats been going on
• update sig with pad's and nsd's

Well, was sent off to buy cowshed mum and baby stuff in Harvey Nicks but they didnt have so eventually found it in John Lewis. 5 tubes of body lotion creams cost £58!! I was not very impressed as didnt think they were anything special at all. Never mind, its the range she loves so nowt to do with me. We also got her £50 of boden vouchers. I need to remember to get money off people next week or I am going to be really struggling. Bad side of going to JL was had to go past subway and it smelt SO good so I bought a sandwich then went to newsagent to get a mag and bar of chocolate. Chose the cheapest gossip mag - is that ok? On way back to car, went into starbucks and got a coffee off my starbucks card which meant I got a free syrup and I was able to really chill for an hour. I got a comfy seat, read my mag, drank my coffee and enjoyed my indulgent time alone. Was so good. Went to ikea for a basket for the baby stuff and bought my self a small plant of orange flowers for £1.97 and a silver flower pot for either my herbs or salad leaves.

I then went home, had a wee rest then did some weeding in the veggie patch. nematodes have run out after about 2 weeks and plants are getting eaten alive again by sluggies. So disappointed. I had one strawberry which has gone!! Rhubarb is taking a hit again. Had been doing so well. I did take off my first ever pea pod (although still just mange tout. I couldnt help myself. It was the best pea pod I have ever eaten in my life. So fresh. I am very impressed with the fact I have been able to grow my own food and know I will only get better next year (as long as they dont chuck me out the house and I end up in a dodgy concrete jungle bedsit LOL)

The_Boss

I'm off to a barbecue next week, where I need to bring my own drinks. I've just been down to Tesco to pick up three bottles of Pimms while they are on offer
