    That's cheap for a candle Z!!! Are you not familiar with Jo Malone?

    Not sure he's planning on uni, going to be a games designer or footballer like every other boy his age :D

    I'm shocked at the price of tea lights...

    I deny that allegation. It's all scurrilous rumours. :A

    Not a spaceman or train driver? Sheesh - kids these days... ;)

    Payday today so a bit more off - in the two thousands at last:D, ok only just but still good! I think I only have two more pay days before it starts accruing interest so want to get it down as low as possible before having to dip into savings, should really put it into savings and pay it back the day before the interest starts but I prefer it this way...
    An exciting evening of filling and sanding lies ahead, ahhhh such fun!

    So where was I???? No sanding done :o oops! Seems like a lot of washing and ironing going on here though - boo!!!

    Have had lovely weekend with my lovely bloke so lots of these:smileyhea today :D, didn't go anywhere particularly exciting but was nice to just get some time together. Didn't spend much though so that was good! Not been feeling well so missed a couple of meals out I had planned towards the end of last week so trying to look at that as a bonus on the calorie and money fronts;).

    You take care - eating little and often is better for you than going without for long periods of time.
