    change, wash, and hang bedding. List items on ebay (already started). Self pedicure and hair do. Am making an excel file of pantry contents and tolieties so I don't overshop anymore.

    wont get done : cutting the grass

    Non-MSE dinner with other couple at Carulccios. In Budget for the week. As we aren't drinking we will spend no more than £25 for both of us.

    How about you Benders?

    We will walk there instead of driving or bus so free!

    I am guessing about £1,500 to £2,000. it's pretty bad.

    Lesson: don't ever buy a brand new car if you live in London

    Arrgghhh!! That sucks! :(


    I'm so angry for you. It's horrible and we've been there, although thankfully not on this scale! When we lived in the city, our wing mirrors would constantly get vandalised and we also had grafitti painted on our car once. Little sh*ts; kids about 11 or 12. Where on earth do their parents think they are at night!!? :mad:

    Gargrave is right to get her wee one out of this country before he gets much older. :(
