    It gets you a discount but doesn't cover full cost of fare. http://www.thamesclippers.com/routes-times-prices-booking/timetables-prices.html

    They sell hot and cold drinks and snacks on the service too but at £1 for a can of coke I'd take my own if you can. You don't get a commentary but take a guidebook and you'll have a great time, plus you can get off and on all day on some of the fares.

    Good move, get off at Greenwich and walk up the road to Greenwich Park, just a few mins away, you can sit and eat with each other on different sides of the thingy line....

    This was supposed to be a no spend day thanks to a nightmare with the mortgage company it has not worked out that way. Am off to buy chocolate lots of to try to stop me screaming as I am so so so annoyed.
    Now £285 + interest more in debt.

    Rats!

    Rats rats rats rats rats!

    Should have been a NSD but blasted car got a blasted puncture in the blasted front tyre so that was £62 gone, just like that! So I thought sod this for a game of soldiers and went shopping.

    On the bright side, my car now has four tyres that are all brand new this year so should not need replacing for a while. I also bought some reduced price strawberries and cheap vodka which are now in a Kilner jar festering away on my kitchen windowsill - strawberry vodka in the making! And 2 lots of cutprice rhubarb. One lot is chopped up in the freezer, to become a pie, fool or crumble at a later date. The other found its way in the microwave with an equal quantity of sugar, grated fresh root ginger and a lemon, and is now in 2 jars - rhubarb and ginger compote.

    Tomorrow the Ringtons tea man calls, but I have already set that cash aside for him, so can I count tomorrow as a NSD? If I don't spend anything of course!
    One life - your life - live it!

    Thanks Spoon for my dancing kitty, loving it!

    Jo, I hadn't heard of Bircher muesli so googled and I had tried it before but under Jamie Oliver's 'pukkola' recipe and I don't know what I did wrong but it was awful, had a nasty thick consistency and no taste at all, I think I tried 5 spoonfuls and had to throw it away. :( However I will kindly take one of your Florentines to mask the memory of that taste in my mouth. *shudders* smiley-eatdrink022.gif

    NSD 11 for me today! :T Will try for another 3 this month, just to keep me going, I was going to say 5 but I think that might be a little ambitious as Friday is payday! :Dsmiley-excited001.gif
