    but 28's nearly 30, 30's nearly 60 and 60's nearly DEAD!!

    I'm too young to be nearly 30!!! Nooo!!!! 30's a scary place where you start wear sensible shoes, watching countdown and thinking Alan Titchmarsh is a bit of alright. I can't go there.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    Bob - nooooo, no Alan 'thats-a-trowel-in-my-pants' Titchmarsh. Urgh. And take off that cat-hair covered cardy. The teacosy hat does you no favours either.

    Hi guys, yes, I'm fine dandy & plugging away. Mrs T - wasn't me who broke Lappy, it was The Boy. He's been tugging on the adaptor lead and snapped something inside the lead. New adator works, but pin on Lappy is a mite loose, so the lead has to be twirled a certain way to 'take'.

    So I hope everyone had nice, cheap day. We're clearing out the freezer - Mystery Meat Night returns. Last time I told hubby he had beef & potato curry, turned out to be Spanish Chicken....hmmm....methinks I must invest in freezer labels. Got tonnes of veg from our veg box delivery, so I'll be making loads of tasty veggie soup over the next few days. And hubby still hasn't found the £2 coin stash. So it's all good here.

    Well cheapier than I expected it which is a good thing I guess :) DHs lappy needs a total rebuild so that's on the cards for tomorrow - it also needs a new battery but not until we're sure the rebuild has fixed the other issues :) No point spending money on it if it has other problems :)
    As we're probably looking at a new fridge/freezer we really need to start working our way through the freezer contents too... Although this time is a lot easier than last time as I've written on most of the food bags with black marker pen so I know what's in them ;)
    I MIGHT however treatmyself to a new stick blender... mine plays up everytime it's stick bit has been washed and it was only a cheap £4 Tesco's value one... about time I bought a half decent one with oodles of baby food needing to be made in the years to come :)
