    Trooserrrd - that's why I was confused

    I can write in Scots but don't sound it unless I get around someone really Scottish (like OH) who then thinks I am taking the P***

    Me scary - NOPE - barking perhaps - with a terrible perpensity to swear but not scary!

    I sound quite English (having lived in Englandshire for alot of my young life)
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    I reckon she sounds more Englandshire than me guv....

    She does love to talk a la Française from time to time though but in an Englandshire accent :D

  • Oooh my feet are so cooooold! I can't seem to warm up today, despite heating being on full blast. But I actually LOVE this weather, so I am just having a little whinge for the sake of it, tee hee! ;)

    I did have a drink last night, but it was only one glass of red wine and my OH had a glass too and we drank them with dinner. And then I put the rest of the bottle away for another day!!

    I feel very proud of myself and OH was very happy with me too (possibly also something to do with the coffee machine I bought her yesterday..... :rolleyes:).

    Sooo, I will be AF today, as I have LOADS of pre Xmas cleaning to get through and later we are going to dinner at our friends house (booze free dinner) and then we are off to the supermarket at 10pm (uuurrghhh). Hopefully supermarket won't be too bananas at that time??

    Best of luck for an AF day for those who are aiming for one.

    Welcome also to Steph - this is a great thread with wonderful people :T

    Hugs,

    Good luck with that!:rotfl:

    I ventured out this morning to Mothercare to get some paints to go with Piglets new Easel. I managed to drop a pot of orange paint in the middle of the shop....it went everywhere. Very embarrassing! Don't think I should be allowed out in public!

    Oh I am sorry Miss P, but, :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: that reminds of a time (a long time ago) when I took a 4 pack of San Miguel off the shelf, one of those ones that has the cardboard on the top and bottom but not the sides. I was holding on to one of the bottles and the other 3 fell out and smashed all over the floor. I was soaked in beer _pale_

    Where's HB, has she gone away?

    Mr T's was a NIGHTMARE!!! Over 2 hours! We had to queue for 35 minutes for the till. Wasn't till I'd paid that I realised I'd forgotten the trifle :doh: oh well, I'll save that for another day :rolleyes:

    Off to make a bolognaise bake that I nicked the recipe from on another thread :drool:
