Two mince pies is enough for one year. It'd be very difficult to make two with any kind of monetary efficiency.0

LIR I get a vision that you are very much like the woman in the Wylde family in Emmerdale (I forget her screen name but her that's married to Mark). Are you anything like her? I imagine you living in a Home Farm type place with a millionaire 'DH' (as you refer to him) and have horses and a 59-plate Range Rover Vogue and a kid called Will (all posh people have a kid called Will). Am I warm?

Loads of my friends have sons called William, and there are two in my son's class at school, although not my son himself. Does that mean I'm moving in posh circles but am not posh myself?Oooohh, I wanted to call my youngest son William but then discovered my sister had claimed that name for one of her children plus hubby really didn't want it.
He has it as one of his middle names though....
Does that make me semi posh? :rotfl:Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
I had this joke sent to me from a mate in Canada. I liked it.
At St. Mary's Catholic Church they have a weekly husbands marriage seminar. At the session last week, the priest asked Giuseppe, who was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to married to the same woman all these years.
Giuseppe replied to the assembled husbands, 'Wella, I've a-tried to treat-a her nicea, spenda da money on her, but besta of alla is, I tooka her to Italy for the 25th anniversary!
The priest responded, 'Giuseppe, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here!
Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary?
Giuseppe proudly replied, 'I'm a gonna go get her.0 -
I went into Tesco's today and arrived at just the right time. I have filled the freezer with massively reduced stuff and I now feel all saintly and MSE.
Or at least I did.
I have been celebrating my frugality by buying a load of make up on the Debenhams website that I neither particularly want nor need.
Right now I am snacking on a bowl of brussel sprouts in the desperate hope that I might actually be able to get into the little black dress I bought earlier in the week for the office party.
I hope house prices rise soon because I may need to sell mine very quickly after Christmas:oRetail is the only therapy that works0 -

May one ask why you might have to sell your house quickly after Christmas, wageslave? It's one thing to indulge to the point of not fitting into the little black dress, but do you really anticipate not fitting into your house after the Christmas excesses?Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

If you keep eating brussels sprouts you may well be the only person at the office Christmas party.0 -

If I dont stop spending on this festive nonsense we will end up living in a tent.
I think your signature is proof positive that this is a karmic universe and I am now feeling a little of LIR mortification....
...but not quite mortified enough to delete her quote:rotfl:Retail is the only therapy that works0
