Blimey you give me a headache just reading all about number crunching etc.... but well done!

Shame about the boots, they were lovely but like you say if you don't love them no point keeping them.

Yay for DS trying pizza, maybe he'd like HM pizza with less tom sauce on it?

I spent £38 on a pair of boots for the child yest :o they are very nice tho, almost the colour of this smiley

I wouldn't normally spend so much but I thought with the run on period of the childcare element of WTC I'd treat her.

Meant to be going to Hilliers today with Mum, my Nan, my Aunt and Uncle but it's raining here, so waiting to see how it is at lunchtime.

Oh and my noisy neighbours are def moving out, but they started last night at 6pm and didn't finish til midnight and started again at 7am this morn, they are so inconsiderate :mad::mad::mad::mad: I just hope we get someone nice and quiet up there, but if they're not I will start as I mean to go on and complain all the time...:rotfl:

Oops, I appear to have hi-jacked your diary, but its so comfortable here and you have plenty of jaffa cakes... yum :D:D:D

Yup, my M/S is smellies too - always good to have in the present box - I have made DS who is 15 a lovely gift box of all the things I have grabbed over the year.......that free avon lipstick, the nail varnishes I can get from boots when they do the £5 free vouchers, various freebies and samples I've got through the post, and from cosmetics counters, etc. Whatever I get on the mystery shop will go in the same box - I love MSE

I'm doing the casino offer too - it is one of the rarities that is partner friendly, so a double whammy for me this week

I'm glad that the finances are done, and that November will shape up nicely. Always a nice feeling to have rather than the feeling of dread that can sometimes lurk!

Hope you have a good weekend - happy halloween!

Hi ben ben,

Well done on getting ds to try pizza, maybe he would try homemade especially if he made it himself.
Good luck with all shopping, must get myself motivated and get xmas shopping sorted.

benbenandme

Hi Miemie, I think he's been well and truly put off them again for a bit, but I will suggest hm ones, maybe if I tell him he can put sausage on it he might be more willing

Hypno thanks for the pm re. bingo, I will give that one a go and see if I get lucky

£2 just made on a small matched bet, only small amount but all helps in the grand scheme of things Off to Tescos now, going to try and stick to £40 this week.

benbenandme

Back from tescos, did very well in theere today, spent £40.52, so only 52p over budget :T I also got £25 of petrol. Within my £40 I bought some soft drinks to go away for xmas, a new washing up bowl and several stocking fillers that were reduced

I'm going to step away from the laptop now for an hour and see how much housework I can get done in that time, then I have some paperwork to do for school so will crack on with that while sky sports news is on in the background with the latest footie scores, leaving me tonight to veg on the laptop in front of xfactor, a purely blissful afternoon and evening

Double_Trouble

Well done on the bingo win I recognised the name at the last minute I won £5 on the next game so I was happy too.

I will go back to lurking now

DTxx

benbenandme
