£25 on a new router too. Ours died last night and I cannot be without my internets.

Mark me red again please

Oh dear you are not having a good run of luck. Rubbish about the buses you never know hopefully the one back from Vegas will be running early and you will make the last one.

Our router just stopped working about 6 months back no idea why I think they just get old and tired.

I have signed up for the Edinburgh meet so you have to promise to talk to me so I am not Billy-No-Mates:o

YAAAAYYYY!!!

I was hoping you would come to that so we could finally meet in person :j

That has genuinely made my sh*tty week a lot better, hurrah

In other news, I told my boss I couldn't have an Xmas night out that weekend as I was meeting people from the internet and she's horrified and thinks that everyone there will be a rapist/murderer and that she'll never see me again. I think I'm going to have to text her to let her know I'm ok.

Boss - "How do you know them? You've never met them"

FF - "I do know them, just not face-to-face. I'll be fine."

Boss - "I've just had to have this chat with [insert bosses daughter's name here]"

FF - "Yes, but she's 12 and I'm 28 and I have met some of my best friend's online and have just attended a wedding where the bride and groom met online"

Sheesh.

PP has just come up with a cunning plan to steel F_F's phone and send said boss a text saying "help I have been kidnapped by people of the internet send help and chocolate biscuits"

Mwaaahhhh (evil plan laugh)

Good luck for the wedding True, I hope you have a great day. And well done on keeping the wedding budget so low, you're an inspiration!

Today I spent £1.83 on ginger cake and some bagels to see me through work lunches. I wish I had enough self control to stop buying cake! As if hitting my waistline isn't hard enough, I've noticed that it's my major spending weakness too!

So £8.17 left til the end of the week.

Good luck Budgeteers.....She starts singing "One for all and all for one, budgeteers are always thrifty".:rotfl:

One for all and all for one, budgeteers are always thrifty
One for all and all for one, counting every penny......
One for all and all for one, its a budget story
Sharing everything with fun, thats the way to be

Okay so it doesn't exactly rhyme!!




FF & PP -you'll talk to me as well won't you!!
My brother was horrified as well - I did point out I wasn't meeting 1 strange man but lots of strange women and a few men - now unless some person has spent the last 10months with 15 different alter-egos on MSE just to trick me in to meeting up with him I reckon we'll be safe :rotfl:

The first time I met kissjenn she sent me a text saying she had prepared the attic for me and that she promised she would bring food every 2nd day :rotfl:

I don't have an attic but I do have a rather large cupboard of doom.

Hopefully we should be safe, safety in numbers and all. Plus we must be weirder than the weirdos so we should be fine.

Morning all,

Not quite Friday but Thursday is not that bad.

Not out for dinner tonight so OH suggested the cinema as I want to see UP. Hopefully small spends due to the additional 3D charges:mad: and I might treat myself to something nice for lunch.

Happy Budgeteering.:beer:
