    Oh dear! :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: No they weren't meant to be connected :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    (not that I'm not already an internationally famous lingerie model, of course)

    (you might think I'm joking, but there are actually freely available (and decent! (mostly)) pictures of me on the internet in a corset and not much else :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:)

    But not this time :D

    I know Z, not very MSE at all! :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :D Still, it's making money for someone, somewhere - kind of (gosh I'm making it sound worse! :eek:)

    Dropped pick axe off at friend's house, and had nice little chat :) Feeling rather more jolly now, and have all soap ingredients at the ready, so going to have a quick spurt of tidiness in the kitchen (can't play with hot oil and caustic soda while tripping over stuff on the floor!) and then get stirring :j :j Be nice to feel like I've actually achieved something!

    Spent an absolute fortune today :eek: Most of it was budgeted for I think, but still :eek: I've bought:

    £40 new phone (that will come from monthly 'fun' budget - don't actually have a budget to replace 'essential' (if you can call it that!) things (other than emergency fund - but this wasn't an emergency!)
    £8 oil for soap making (comes from this week's 'fun' budget, but that will do for cooking as well, and will make at least a year's worth of soap, plus presents, so not too bad!)
    £2 tea at WI (perfectly necessary :D)
    £3 cederwood oil (from fun budget)
    £10 nice knickers :D (from underwear treats budget :D)

    Er, actually that's not bad really considering everything had a pot to come from! Just don't want to be doing it every weekend... :p

    So - a plan for the rest of the evening :j :j

    10-10.30: put music on, hang washing up, tidy kitchen
    10.30-11: make soap
    11-11.30: probably still stirring soap :rotfl:
    11.30-12: curl up on sofa and cut pictures out for cheery craft project til Mr Daffs gets back

    Actually, there's not a whole lot of evening left, is there?? :rotfl:

    Cheery, you are making it worse, love! Knickers, photo paper, camera, pick axe...If I were a Swedish wiriter I'll borrow these elements and construct the plot of a darkly-obssesive and terribly naughty adventure.

    Made me laugh, anyway.

    I know this sounds daft, but you just reminded me that i should have an underwear budget..i will allocate one with my clothes budget.
    Sounds like a productive day to me and the soap making is one thing i would like to do. Would love to see piccies.

    So, to recap: There's pictures of you, in a corset, and not much else, much are mostly decent, and which are making money for someone, but not you...

    Hmm... :think:

    Why does this remind me of Grease? The bit where they start singing "Tell me more, tell me more!"

    that giant hole's not going to dig itself!

    I think you were both wrong and right about that... :rotfl:
