    I know you're both spot on, I really do, but that sometimes doesn't make it any easier!

    I do understand what you mean :grouphug: There are decent men out there and you will find one them!

    Your night sounds lovely..... What book you reading at the moment? I've not read a book for ages, I so need to!

    We didn't have any snow until about 20 mins ago and is now coming down really heavily.

    However I live a 25 min walk from work so there is no snow day going on for me tomorrow :eek::eek:

    I remember in Feb I decided to go in really early so that hopefully no one else would make it in and the office would be closed and I could straight back home but I was beaten in by 3 other people although we did close the office early!

    We'll see how much is left tomorrow morning, but looks like I'm walking.....
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

  • Just to let the rest of you single ladies know...don't know if you have been on grabbit but when you buy off lovehoney you get a free pocket vibrator, & they are having a sale, & there is a 10% off code! Oh, and it's free delivery! Just spent £18 and got my weekend sorted!

    And, I am pretty sure they count in the 'essentials' section of life, and won't ruin any frugalness!
  • Morning everyone,

    Hope everybody is well and is starting to recover from the festive period. I had to stay off work today, as I spent about 1 hour digging out my car and driving it about 200 yards down the road, then I gave up, so I am stuck in besides the warm fire. what a shame. :j

    I suppose I better do some work shortly though.

    Take care

    Well to finish my lazy holidays in style I have just had a bath for almost 3 hours :eek::eek::eek: It's the first time I've fallen asleep in the bath for ages, I used to do it all the time.

    I'm all wrinkly and my hands are very sore :(

    :j:j:j To those getting the day off work (providing it hasn't caused you more hassle when you go back!) I think I'll be going on the bus tomorrow, I'm not risking my car getting damaged, I just can't afford it!And I was meant to be starting support a new family tomorrow but thats another 4 miles further than work so I've cancelled it.

    Hope you got home ok Mu55inthemule...

    Clarabella, glad you've got your weekend sorted ;) And I agree it counts as essentials! Me personally, I'd rather sleep :o

    Aaarrrggghhhh:mad::mad::mad:. Managed to get the bus into town today, everywhere is sold out of wellies:mad:.

    Have had a look on the internet and found some, but am now having a dilemma. Found some very cheap ones £5-£10 which look cheap, also some more expensive ones £45, which are a nice colour and look sturdy and lots around £25 ish which look okay. I am effectively trapped in the house as I can't walk far here, except to the corner shop and the bus stop. I cannot get my car out as I don't have a spade. :rolleyes: I wouldn't risk driving anywhere anyway. I need some wellies. I can get some nice ones delivered for Friday as long as they are actually doing deliveries as it does say next day delivery.

    I do believe that if you buy cheap you buy twice, so do I get the cheap ones? I might only need them for a few days. Might be 3-4 days delivered so might be stuck till Monday but they are only £5 and I am trying to be frugal.

    If I get the £25ish ones I can get them for Friday but I don't love them.:rolleyes: They look a lot better than the cheap ones though.

    If I get the £45 ones they will be here on Friday, they look sturdy and I like them and I think they will last. It's not as if there are always snowdrifts:rolleyes: so I can't imagine I would need another pair for a few years. But they are £45:eek:. I am trying to be frugal. I don't want to fail on Day 6.

    I am okay at the moment as I have food in and can get to the shop (in sandals!) but when it turns to ice in the next couple of days I will be stuck. I do not want to fall over again. The entire street becomes an ice rink and it is dangerous. What to do?:confused:
