    Evening all


    Welcome Purpleheather!

    Just put Piglet to bed. OH out playing badminton so I'm going to get on the exercise bike in a minute. Feeling a bit touchy and grumpy so hoping the exercise will perk me up.:)

    Including today - 24 please Shaggy!

  • 8 for me so far. It's abject poverty rather than willpower that's doing it for me at the moment though. I've already exceeded my food & drink budget for the month - with six full days to go - I'm not going to be going out and buying booze.

    I'm shortly going to be getting rid of my daughter for six months though, as she's off to Canada for gap-year voluntary work. It's cost me a small fortune to send her there but hopefully I can save on the grocery bill with her gone. Somewhat OT, but does anyone know if I can get a rebate on my council tax with her out of the country? I have a confirmation letter from the organisation behind it that I can forward to the council.

    Wellcome Purpleheather :wave:

    This is getting easier, dashing straight back home without going to the shop is soooo nice, even nicer than having a drink. So I should be "safe" as long as I keep doing my shopping during the weekend when I am not pooped. Good for the purse as well as it is raking up the NSDs ;)

    Declaring 25 please shaggy and another day in the bag please Pen :)

    Well done you.
