Ouch to the arm..hope it isn't fracured or broken.
Fantastic new on the 5k payment (nearly)..knew you could do it and your friend will be happy to stump up for the Ritz.
so weird as really didn't think could do 5k, (nearly there) as when I'd originally done snowball, it said 3k,
We both decided to do something for us for our 40ths, I pd for the Orient Express, and she suggested the Ritz, so said yep, but need the incentive of debts hence the 5k.
its been a bit tight in places, but its really made me appriciate life more and what I've got, ok the loan adds a yr on, but took off 2k in interest so balanced out.
Now I can walk past Evans without the need to have that must have item, whether or not I need it, even cooking at home appriciate things.
we did a bulk sausage + tom casserole 2day, me shouting orders- dad cooking, dusted off the george formum and its cooks onions, put it all in freezers, and for 21 portions it came to £12.00.
Bailey keeps coming up and trying to pull the splint off, its blue the same colour as his fav toy....
Fun + games, but better than a plaster........ xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
