    I always moan at DH as we walk into town with the buggy (about a 40 minute walk, which I do lots by myself) and then he 'needs' a drink and has to buy a bottle of coke from somewhere.

    Next month I swear I'm buying him a water bottle and not letting him leave the house without filling it first.


    Maybe get one with his name on too!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    My husband should have shares at Corsta Coffee as he cannot survive a day without? I'm definately going to get a metal coffee holder and he too can drink from home from the shopping budget.
    I will paint a pretty picture in the brands colours me thinks.:D

    We moved again!!!

    Absolutely zilch to report, no-one even cares enough to ring me anymore *sob*, not even crap one.

    But I've got some Galaxy Counters - anyone old enough to remember?

    They're like the naked minstrels you get in revels for those that aren't.

    Its a weird feeling when they start leaving you alone isn't it!!!

    BUT OMG is that what they are called, where from......the only reason to buy a packet of revels. Think I had them once when I was very little, and can still remember eating them I loved them so much. Yum yum yum off to google them now:D:D:drool:

    the principality is good cos its not connected with anyone else, the interest rate isn't too dreadful and you get to divide your savings into wee virtual pots and give them names and set them targets, save having to have money all over the place for different things and its working for me. You also just run it on the internet. Hope this helps.
    Few tumbleweeds running through there folks where there used to be loads of creditor calls, long may it last.
    ted No OH has not sorted out the awful crap one, he can't bring himself to phone the dopes again, you can only go around in circles so many times, latest apparently is that his name is wrong???????? The one he's had for 53 years??????

    Having an attack of the guilts, just sent a e mail of supreme snottiness using the sale of goods act about an £18 bracelet. I did send a nice one first and the website sent snotty deflecting one back so they deserved it, but don't usually have to do such things. If I don't get it repaired or replaced then thats my bracelet with its spinning beads that everyone thinks is one with a certain danish brand on up the creak without a paddle of its own!

    Also double guilt after Ted's lovely post manaing to reply to everyone!

    Off out now after those naked minstrels!

    Thanks PDD :T I'll look them up now! Do like the idea of being able to split into pots....and being a Southerner, love your use of the word 'wee' :D

    Just a couple of things (mainly food based!), with popcorn, I buy a big bag of kernels from a health food store/supermarket and cook them in a pan with hot oil. MUCH nicer than those crumby popcorn bags. Bag of kernels is only about £1.80 and it'll last AGES (use sparely though, it expands a fair bit!! :D) And if you're anything like me and the BF, we always argue over salty or sweet so just split once it's popped! :j

    ...And newbeginnings when you say 'naked minstrel' do you mean no crunchy shell?
