My only problem is I get so grumpy and short-tempered, but OH says I try so hard to be nice during my TOTM I'm actually nicer then than I am the rest of the month!
The Cheek.
Mine says that too! SodHe knows before I do when I'm due as apparently I'm very bad about 10 days before.
haha that arab stallion comment did make me laugh.
I was let-out-involuntary-snort-shocked by that! Especially from you Tete, the way you snuck it in among moneysaving... baking... sewing...wholesome walks in the countryside... :rotfl:
Lucky girls!
Have fun at sewing - sounds fun, but hard work!

[STRIKE]Dinah[\STRIKE] Service Desk,
Can you email me the code directly as is turning it into an image. Use the usual account.
I will have a look and see if I can crack it!0 -
I thought it was longer than that until your wedding Dinah! It's not long!
Cinny, I'm excited for you that you're starting a moving out fund! I can't wait to start mine. Just need to get rid of these last bits of debt. :rolleyes:
I'm having a money dilemma which I need advice on!
I really want to buy a bike. My OH is really into his mountain biking, and I like cycling too. When I move to my Nan's she has a cycle path right next to her house so it would be a good opportunity to exercise. OH would find me a decent bike for about £300 - apparently the bike sales are just starting. Only problem is, £300 would clear a good chunk of my debt, plus my Nan has an old bike she says I should have instead of buying one, cuz she just bought one. But to be honest, I don't really want her old bike! Which sounds ungrateful but I figure if it was decent she would have kept it, but she's making me feel guilty about wanting a new bike.
What would you do?! (Sorry if I have asked this before, but OH is gonna look for one tonight and I don't wanna rush into it if I'm being stupid)Total Debt (Dec 2015) £11,500 : Currently £7,675Lose 21lb : 0/21

I don't think you'll be able to get around it Dinah, underneath the box where you update your sig it saysCan Upload Images for Signature No
Can Upload Animated GIF for Signature No
Which is a pain! You could post it in the first post on this thread though?
Ooo, Double Exciting about the Venue! Things seem to be happening pretty fast with the Wedding plans now.0 -

If you lived near me I'd lend you my Pashley! Personally, I'd take your Grandma up on the offer of her old bike. Might not be ideal but atleast you'll have a bike and can see how much you use it before forking out for your own. You'll end up kicking yourself spending £300+ on a bike to hardly use it. Speaking from experience here, I hardly use poor Darcy! ( I keep on going over him with a duster though)
