    Kathy, hope you're doing ok ((hugs))

    Nargle, lol at Beard!!!! I nearly spat coffee all over the laptop :eek:

    Woohoo, 1st NSD for me yesterday :D Hard work getting that one! I'm hoping for NSDs for the weekend too as we are planning to decorate all weekend and only popping out to take DS to a party.

    Right, we're off to buy party present, visit the library and go and feed the ducks. Have a great Friday all.

    way to go all the newbies with the 1st NSDs :)

    bought a lovely handbag from Asda for £5 - an upgrade since the last one cost £3 from Tesco. I also bought a big bag for tansporting makeup and clothes when going out on nights out after work for a £5 and eyeliner for £1.50 from the discount Asda range. Total spend=£11.50 and a very chuffed me. Going to M&S to spend some vouchers today so hopefully another NSD - I don't think £50 will go far on food tho!

    Woo, I got my 2nd NSD yesterday! That was easy, like I knew it would be.

    I want one today as well, but today might not be so easy, my friend wants to go out and see the maze in Trafalgar Square, which is free, but we always go and buy things afterwards! What's more important... my social life, or my NSDs? Oh what to do, what to do? :D
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.
  • morning all, going to be a spendy day, am down to my last 15 tins of chopped tomatoes...............must restock the cupboards, pesky people keep eating and eating....


    Jinty I think this grand Cross thingy in the sky is making everybody grumpy, I can't remember a period when I've heard so much bad news in such a short time, there have been deaths, dreadful illnesses, accidents and just sheer bad luck, must admit it has made me quite po-faced thi8s week, to-day is the finish i think so everything should start to improve tomorrow, fingers crossed.

    Onward and upward folks.......

    Morning everyone,

    Haven't managed number 2 yet, but have got my fingers crossed for today :)! DS and I went zipwiring off a very big cliff yesterday so I think poor old mum is due a recovery day! Maybe we'll bake some gluten free buns seeing as I bought the flour the other day....mmm...will probably cheer him up, got to take him to the hospital later to start looking into whether he's actually coeliac or whether there is something else causing his problems, poor little mite. Aaaanyway, got to fork out for hospital parking but I'm not counting that as a spend because a) its budgetted for and b) its a hell of a long walk :D!

    Thanks PDD, I thought it was just me feeling like that - glad it's passing, though. Good luck with the restocking - if I can see the back of my cupboard I get palpitations, tins, tins, tins.:eek: One day I'm going to make a huge soup with all the various beans, veg, toms Ive got in there, it's ridiculous!


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

  • Morning guys!!!!!!

    Yesterday was a NSD, only got the budgetted cat food and buscuits!!!!
    and OH is finally getting it, i went to my friends for coffee and i gave him the money to get the bus home, as he fancied a bottle of cider, he decided to buy it and walk home instead, to give you an idea how far, it took him 1 hour 50 mins, I chuckled to myself when he said, there was no way he would have put it on the card as i would have killed him as its not budgetted for!!!! LOL!!!
    Well he needed the exercise LOL!!!
    Going to Bristol for the weekend, so will try and spend as least as poss, as i havent got much, need to pay council tax!!!
    Will try to catch up on MIL laptop, sometime over the weekend..............

    Love to all................................
    Im not financially savvy as im still learning but i love to support anyone that needs it and give virual hug's and tea!!!
    Can't do Bickie's Sorry, need to lose weight!!!
