    Calley, you've no idea..... He's in the bathroom, no joke, for at least an hour in the morning! He thinks it's normal and healthy...... :confused:

    Think I'll buy some of that hard paper loo roll, I'm sure he'll cut down then, or maybe not... :mad:

    I'll tell him his limit is 3 a week, see if it works! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    An hour :eek: In all seriousness maybe he needs to see a dr as that is not normal.

    Mind you according to on programme I saw read about they suggested that you should go after ever meal :eek:

    Can you imagine being in the loo for 3 hours a day. I sure work would love that.

    "Calley where have you been for the last hour" and I reply "in the toilet." and I think there reaction would be :think: "yeah right". Here your P45 :rotfl:

    I thought it was just a bloke thing. My OH spends about half an hour on the loo in the morning (and does two "stints"). I am gobsmacked at how much loo roll we get through and I am so going to be doing that standing on the roll thing to see if it makes it any better!! What a wicked idea!

    We don't have a magazine rack in the toilet but that doesn't stop me from having to pick up a pile of magazines (normally my magazines) from the bathroom floor every day. It's not right, really, it's not.....

    Anyhoo. :confused:

    Nope I think it is just your bloke.

    Mine is in and out the bathroom normally quicker then me in the morning.

    I can think of nothing more boring then sitting in the bathroom for too long :rotfl:

    Right new month and I spend £40.69 non food and a few pounds on sundries like washing powder.

    See how long that lot lasts.

    Just can't down to meal planning at the moment. Husband is on nights this week :j not. So that is throwing out all plans being made. And I am just too tired all the time to beothered.

    well Ive just spent £8.04 at pets at home, the pooch was at the vets last night and has to go on a hypo-allergenic diet to see if it improves his skin as we have tried everything. He has really bad dermatitis and his poor wee paws are all red and sore. Anyway this food aint cheap!

    Have said that I'd like to do this grocery challenge this month (I think on the August grocery challenge thread), nut no-one has answered how I budget this month. I'm going on holiday on 27th August - 4 September, and it's half board. :cool: The hotel for the week was £157 each (there is just me and OH), so my point is, do I include this in August or September, and how much of this do I include etc? :confused: Sorry to be awkward, just wondering how other people have done it? I paid for the holiday in full last month.

    I checked my food reciepts, and last month I managed to spend a very frugal £99.13 for the two of us. :jI'd like to try and aim for £90 this month.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • Doing ok so far i think!! Spent £81.60 so far since the challenge started, I think I said £45 per week, so am skimming just under that so far!!!

    I have loads of bakery stuff, and my DD is looking forward to a cake making session (shame I'm trying to lose weight!!!)
