Wowza! Maybe it will be able to get the low-level grime out of everything at Fresian Towers I'll be giving it a bash in the kitchen and living room shortly!

How did you get on with the Stardrops? I recently started worshipping at this altar when I discovered it got foundation out of the carpet! :rotfl:

Busy day. Let me know when you're next available for dinner and a movie and I'll come into town to meet you.

This week I'm going to a gig with Mr Fresian on Tuesday, despite his illness. I'm going to the pictures on Wednesday with my pal already, but as we have the Card Of Wonder we could easily go on Thursday instead. What you up to on Wednesday? Is there anything you want to see?

It seems to clean as well as my other cleaner, I haven't noticed a difference so far. To be fair, I haven't asked it to do anything difficult....yet Money post to follow shortly. Mr F is making me watch a programme about science, I have no interest and thus am having much MSE fun!

Who ya going to see FF?

Money post!

Here is the current state of the bank accounts....

PAD = £42.53
Groceries = £92.39
Entertainment = £17.25

So, not too bad all in all. I'm still working on the theory that this will take me up until the end of the month (Groceries/entertainment, the rest will be PADded before then!)

This months budgeteering has been going quite well. Since the start of the month I have spent £340.93 which does not include mortgage/debt payments, but does include power, pet insurance, heating insurance, home insurance, TV licence, telly and all other groceries, toiletries and gubbins. I've only spent £64 on groceries so far this month, which is pretty good given that I have been to three supermarkets in the last two days :rotfl:

I will be ending this month's budget on the 29th as I will then be on holiday for a week and would like to have a week off from budgeting.

I paid for the car insurance today (Eek!) I wasn't able to get cashback, but did get it insured for £280 in Mr F's name and I will be able to build up NCD. Cheapest quote with me as 1st named person was nearly £500 :eek:

I need to decide what I want to spend on the car and how much I can afford to put aside every month. I think that will be for tomorrow though!

Right....seeing Girl With The Dragon Tattoo with the friend who has the cinema pass too, and she'll be p*ssed if I go without her :rotfl:

Legion looks like a giggle but it's only on at half four, which is nae use to me.

I will happily see I Love You Philip Morris or The Bounty Hunter, as they look awful, but the good kind of awful

If Wednesday suits how about we see what we fancy on the day? I need to see what my friend has planned though, would Thursday suit if not?

Both are fine. Awful films can be funny for all the wrong reasons. We either having Scottish Gerald Butler chasing Jennifer Anniston or scottish Ewan MacGregor chasing Jum Carrey!

Did you know that the newish gingery ex-army surgeon in Greys is Scottish too? Small world.

The Scissor Sisters will be turning in their graves with this. Not quite as odd as Welsh reggae though or this.
