    You must throw a huge Halloween party in that case shs - it's only fair :rotfl:

    Zoo event sounds good cath :)

    I've had a great few days lurking on page three mfd's :D eating out three day's on the trot , thurs evening girls meal at p*zza express , Friday night dh took us for a curry, today out with the inlaws for lunch. Living the dream this week now I'm on the 5-2 :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm currently going through a rebellious phase and must confess to visiting a mini garage and c*rrys to look at fridges :eek: hopefully it will soon pass and I will look and not buy (as usually happens ). I guess as long as we don't buy it's cheap entertainment in a way :o

    £20 voucher to spend on Xmas today, the first free voucher from the new cc :beer: I've also had a £50 Amazon one form he Amazon cc and I've got £20 of clubcard vouchers to spend too. If only all Xmas shopping was free!

    I'm thinking of getting dh a new tv for our bedroom for Xmas, controversial for some I know, but I like to feel like we have a penthouse flat rather than a bedroom on the top floor, somewhere to escape the teenagers :rotfl: will keep a look out on the deal sites for any offers, it doesn't need to be anything fancy.

    Need to update the food and petrol spends so far now :)

    That's funny I just posted in your new diary :D

    Thanks, 7 years is a LONG time for me to stick to anything :rotfl: best of luck with your five year plan.


    Why is it the more early I have to get up, the less I can sleep the night before? I was in bed tired early most of the weekend. Now with a 6am start, I know I'll be awake a fair while yet!

    Whilst not sleeping in bed tonight I've been having a look at the Xmas M & S Xmas food to order, it is very tempting to order some bits :o we will have between 12-14 people probably this year on Boxing Day. Last years food was a cold meat/cheese/ exotic salads type affair. Still was time consuming on the day. I've been seen quite a few things I fancy buying. I may even have to do a posh festive Xmas eve dinner too :D

    Don't think I'd fancy camping on the roof of a mini :eek::eek::eek:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
