    I had to answer - erm love I'm 41!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But it made my day, well month, well year!!

    I get annoyed that they don't even ask. I suppose it's the Zimmer frame.

    I hope you didn't lose that 6 pounds off your nicer bits. :)

    I just have to laugh when I get asked my age, ok I might not quite look over 40 but I def look older than 25!!!!!!!!! I carry my Diving licence around with me but I feel quite flattered gettting asked it!

    I've started to get around that one by cooking at least one batch of Twinks a week

    Only problem is that I'd previously given up biscuits almost completely ;)

    I will need to get back in the habit of doing that! Trouble is, my biscuit tastes are very simple - SP custard creams, bourbons, ginger nuts. It's OH with his chocolate biscs! Blame him anyway!;)

    Oh dear, I know I planned to have a small spend day today - needed makeup cleanser and bread...

    It started to go wrong in Wilkos' - got my cleander (77p one but it really suits my skin) and then, as my toner is running out (I honestly do only have a tiny bit left and would have to get some at the weekend), I got the matching toner also for 77p...so far not TOO bad...then I went to Mr JS

    ..I meant to get bread..I went past the fruit and veg aisle ok (have apples at home and will get other bits at weekend prob..then stumbled across the Whoopsies where I went a bit mad with 'Oh I'll just get this for the freezer'...sasuages, fish cakes, THD salmon (which does look yum), chicken goujons, chicken kievs and some BGTY Mini Nanns.... then went down the ready meal aisle and picked up a ham hock with mash and mustard, which looks yum, but I am not sure I needed, and some basics mash (which is super lazy of me but it's v/handy to have in), then bread, and some Uncle Bens mico rice (3 for £3 offer), OH loves it - again lazy cooking but handy in the cupboard. Add in cat treats (she was ambushed in the middle of the night this week in her own home by another cat :eek:) and the total came to £17.62 :eek::eek::eek: I don't know what I saved with the offers and Whoopie reductions but I am mad with myself for buying stuff I didn't really need. :(:(:(

    Will try and make up for it with a NSD tomorrow....

    Back from food shopping and my mystery assignment. Food shop was the last biggie of my month - I get paid on the 20TH so I'm pretty much stocked up, unfortunately I'm £8 over my GC challenge and will need fresh F&V on Monday. However, I'm not too worried as within the month I've had to get a big sack of dog food, plus I got a load of whoops tins of fruit and jars of pasta sauce today and big box of Daz which will keep us going for ages.
    Have run round with hoover, so Im now going to do the dishes and then do my knitting!:)

    Hope you are all having a lovely day:)

    Not been too bad today - spent £1 on 4 cans of pop from FarmFoods, 89p on a birthday card and £1 for parking - total of £2.89 and then.... £5 in Mr S on a birthday cake and some candles for OH (sshhh - don't tell him!).

    But I did go to the bank to speak to the advisor and have completely rejigged my finances and have saved over £100 a month:j:j

    Very happy with that so the spends of £7.89 aren't too bad.:p
