    And just to make you laugh...
    I pulled a rib the other day doing nothing in particular and today I decided to go to the allotment and I pulled it some more.
    NOW I AM IN AGONY!!! :mad:

    Morning reb
    Don't you know it's wishbones you're supposed to pull :rotfl:? silly girl :p! Seriously though hun, hope your rib is better soon :kisses3:
    Evening all,

    I've spent the day trying to sort out my hysterical sister. She's going to have to go bankrupt. Thankfully the folk on the bankrupt board are just as friendly and helpful as us.

    Stunty.

    Morning stunty
    It must be a shock to your sister mate, good job you're there to give her some guidance :D

    Managed about £1.80 into the sealed pot last night, also got 2 X £2 coins in change last night from buying drinks (non-alcoholic!) at our weekly scooter meeting

  • Thanks folks. I can think of better ways to spend my day off, but I'm now helping her book in and fill out forms. Got her an appointment for Friday, so I'll go with her with Furture Mrs S.

  • Hi all

    Reb - i think you should send DD some of the links to the diaries on here of the fab moneysavers getting married for £200 all in.;)

    A few pennies in the pottie last night as I was out with my friends drowning my sorrows.:( Thanks everyone for your lost job condolences.:A:A:A

    On the upside today I get to tackle the ironing mountain - and will hopefully get back to de-cluttering the house via ebay.
