Not by much but a wee bit here and there, if I buckled down gave up the gym membership, entertainment budget and cut the food budget in half I could make more of an impact...but you've got to live a bit eh:o balance is all, but having just written that I'm now thinking I should maybe shave a bit off the entertainment and food... oh dear I'm hopeless!

If you can afford them, there's no reason why you can't have large pleasures..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Some days being surrounded by teenagers is awful - today was one...:eek::eek: it's the shallowness! makes me feel about 150 sometimes and as you all know I can talk pish with the best of them:o
Any how, that aside tonight I've been googling Butter Chicken recipes - bad Elantan bad:p There doesn't seem to be a healthy version ANYWHERE! But it shall be on the menu here next week, can't do it this week as The Menu Plan must be obeyed (and there's no chicken in the freezer).
Meant to say, I'm loving the student discounts and have finally started Christmas shopping - I know it might be early for some but when you are getting stuff delivered I feel December is too close to the line. Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Yeah, but if they were deep and meaningful at that age, they'd probably even bore themselves...

You've got to remember that some of them are less aged and "mature" than a good whisky...
Of course for some of them, this is as deep as they will go in their lives.skint_spice wrote: »Any how, that aside tonight I've been googling Butter Chicken recipes - bad Elantan bad:p There doesn't seem to be a healthy version ANYWHERE!
And which part of "Butter" was causing you the most confusion... :rotfl:skint_spice wrote: »But it shall be on the menu here next week, can't do it this week as The Menu Plan must be obeyed (and there's no chicken in the freezer).

Went for a run this morning and seem to have been hungry ever since:o!!! 5 miles so not too bad and did it despite the wind and the rain so quite proud of myself for not wimping out:D
Apart from that I have been mainly studying today and think I'm quite up to date now *** breathes sigh of relief***
