    Thinking of setting up a diary, now I'm on the cusp of earning money. Title 'Time to use my loaf' - What do you think?

    Alternatives were 'We'll be needing considerably bigger buns', 'A matter of loaf and death' 'More bread required'.

    "Loafly dough"?

    "I want bigger baps"?

    "Born and bread"?
    Sandwiched between a Toaster and Breville, aka Butti's journey to the ultimate Club Sandwich

    I learned long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away (France) that a Madame Sandwich is far ruder than you might imagine...
    Seeing I am not "au fait" with the multi quoting...

    So practice - otherwise you won't be... :p

    Been having a look at z$pper to sell books - prices not great but they never do well at car boot so might go for it just to declutter...

    And when you take the quotes out of context, you get...bigger baps, born and bread whilst practising a madame sandwich:eek::cool::rotfl::rotfl: Interesting title for a thread though:D

    Thankyou very much, it's great to be back. Hope you are fine and dandy.

    Well I was being ever such a good little money saver but then I booked a wee holiday for me and DS - bargainous and leaving from local airport so if it's nice we can walk there on the departure day :D even if we get a taxi it's much cheaper than paying for parking at big airport.
    Hoping to do a carboot tomorrow so must go blag pasting table from my dad, this is as much a decluttering endeavour as a money making exercise so anything that doesn't sell will be going to CS on Monday:D

    Think DS is finally on the mend, he's about halfway through antibiotics now so should be fine for hols. It's been a very frugal week not been out much so very little money or petrol used.
    DS at his dad's now and I'm off out for a wee walk and drink with my lovely man, sun's out!
    In other news part of my grant at least has been approved so that's a relief :D no sales spending to declare with the exception of one belt for £2 as I don't need anything:A
    Butti - think it's a free listing weekend again, I can't list anything as I'll be far away next weekend:p

    Hello Skinty

    Hope DS is okay now.

    I have bowed to pressure from that Mr Z about why I was being so quiet (such a bully that man :rotfl:). So as you'll see from my signature I am going to try and cope with my move, my new job and several weeks without being paid by moaning to people on here about it. Seems like a bit of a plan.

    Need to show my dad my repayments to him tomorrow aswell so I will have to do a budget (people are SO demanding!)

    Good luck with that. Remember to adjust for unexpected events.
