Hi all, another £1 to Barclaycard today.

OH's friend, his wife and their toddler are coming up for the weekend tomorrow. Should be interesting as the wife can be a bit funny with me and I wouldn't say we were exactly friends. :cool:

Reading the sewing thread on here and am so jealous of the amazing things the people on there can make! Really want to try and make a sock monkey now - they're pretty cool.

Apparently the Avon version are good and only a tenner. I think there's info on the Fitflops thread on the Grabbit board. Head thee that way

My mum has both types of fitflops (Avon and 'real') and she says they are both as good as each other. I can't wear them though as I have flat feet and need a bit of a heel to pull my arches up, I borrowed hers once for a day and they really hurt.

Padding £44.89 today please Mary, in German colours lol (sorry Euro, I will support Holland if Germany don't get through!) xx

I have got very flat feet but started wearing Birkenstocks about 6 years ago. For the first few days of constant wear they were painful as all hell, but now they are the most comfortable things on earth and have helped my fallen arches.

Yep! Them thar wagon wheels were bigger in them thar days! and the walnut whips had half a walnut in the bottom bit and .......jammy dodgers had way more jam!
I saved my threepenny bits and sixpences in an old smartie tube but I still think the old memory is playing tricks on the taste buds!!!
Have to say that Haribo sweets just don't give the same buzz as fruit salads and black jacks!
My DD thinks I'm mad when I start to sing "R whites lemona-a-ade" and "Everyone's a fruit and nut case"
Time to step out of the time warp and come back to reality ! or is it?

Ooooh god make me feel old lol yes black jacks and fruit salads don't taste the same as they used to and the black jacks aren't as black!? and yes jammy dodgers were defo bigger, so too wagon wheels but I didn't really lilke them lol Do you remember the crisps that had a little blue bag of salt in, that you had to shake???

Went to the iTunes festival last night to see Paloma Faith and Alan Pownall. Both amazing!! Really good night. But just checked my a&l bank account and have gone over my overdraft by £40! I checked yesterday to see how much was available, and took out what I had 'leftover' from my direct debits still due to come out but it appears my available balance was wrong. Surely the available balance should have taken into account direct debits that went out yesterday morning?!!!!!! If I knew it hadnt included it, then I wouldnt have taken any out!!!:mad:

Thanks for sorting that out Mary xx :cool:

Pad today is £25 to mbna and £37.62 to cc. Total = £62.62
the first one came out yesterday, and I took cc into account for today so still not sure how I got it so wrong!:mad:

I know one thing that was definitely bigger and better - wagon wheels. They were massive and had loads of that jammy flavoured stuff. Those were the days when wagon wheels were real wagon wheels <Rawhide theme tune playing in background>.

That freaked me out - my fiance says that ALL THE TIME when he's getting all nostalgic.
