I thought I'd missed something there too Birdie
Sounds exciting about the wedding-moon though!!
Was very good in Asda this afternoon - only bought one thing I didn't plan for an that was only some Smart Price Noodles for 9p so that's not too bad. Fully stocked up on Cat food, various body sprays and air fresheners for a while now. Well, unless I become really stinky or Pip becomes uber-fat-cat.0 -
How exciting Birdie! Do you know where you want to go?
I love making holiday plans. Me and OH want to do road trips 'up North' at some point. And me and my family drove to the Outer Hebrides which was actually really good stopping at places along the way! Was a 9 hour drive though :rolleyes:
I love Devon and Cornwall, it's about a 2 hour drive for me so it's nice to go down in the summer for the weekend. Haven't been for ages though.
Well done Cinny for not buying loads more in ASDAI always end up buying stuff that isn't on my list!

Takeaway, yum! Does your OH get to choose?! Lucky thing!
What hair mask do you use? I just bought a Boots own one, but I usually use the Aussie 3 minute one cuz it's lovely!
I reckon you'll get your list done, but don't forget to have fun cuz it is the weekend! :TTotal Debt (Dec 2015) £11,500 : Currently £7,675Lose 21lb : 0/21

I'll try
Going out with OH and his kid Sister to see New Moon on Sunday so that will be the fun part of the weekend! And yep, OH gets to pick what we have. He's been working hard all week so deserves a treat!
I have a James Brown Intensive Hair Mask I got ages ago for free with a Magazine so I'm planning on using that one. It works okay, but my fave it S&Gs hair supply - There's a lot of bad reviews about it but it's perfect on my hair0 -

She was sat up in bed last night with a little glass of it resting on her bosom, but fell asleep and said her nightie was stiff as a board this morning! And if that's not bad enough she added: 'But guinness is much worse'! Seems granny often falls asleep with a tipple in her hand!
Thats nothing, my grandad used to have baileys on his cornflakes!!!:rotfl::eek:

Majorly overslept this morning *yawn* Still in bed actuallyGoing to wake up Pip and get him fed, then think about getting on with the rest of my list. Have the two products to review on DooYoo so I might attack that first.
ETA: Taken off a couple STP goals as I've just noticed the time!
Pretty tiddled off with OH atm, I don't mind helping him out moneywise but I feel like he's taking me for a ride. Spoke to him this morning and he said he's just got enough for his sisters Cinema ticket tomorrow, and I said 'So you're not putting any money towards tea tonight?' and it turns out he spent the last of his money out with his mate this week :rolleyes: Why does it feel like I'm the one clearing debt here?! Going without a lot of stuff I want when I don't really need too, or watching every penny when I don't really want to just so I have extra money incase HE needs petrol for HIS car or to feed HIM after work. Mean while he b*ggers off playing pool and drinking the last bit of his money away. Urgh!0 -
Feel really mean for slating OH now :rotfl: Just needed to let off steam as I don't think he needs me having a go at him atm. Hes trying his best I suppose!To Do List for Saturday:

Going to root around for some boyish wrapping paper for OHs younger Brother now. If I can't find any than I think I'll just leave them unwrapped.
Not holding out much hope for crossing anything else off my list if I'm honest. Sat infront of the fire and just about to do my nails (although the Daily Mail say that nail varnish will stop me having kiddies :rolleyes:) and OH gets here in an hour or so.0 -
Cinny a lot of your posts do come across that hes clearing the debt off your back, so its fair enough to be tiddled off! If NIM did that to me and spent his money going out drinking then sponged off me for joint things I'd be so angry! Standing up for yourself financially doesn't mean you love him any less, it just means you respect yourself and think he should get himself out of his own hole - at the end of the day you're not his mother!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
Debt September 20th 2022 £2991.68- 96.92% paid off0
