    Morning all. Was going to post last night but didn't get time. Steve got a bit upset last night at the comments about him on here. He feels like everyone's picking on him for spending money on his lunches etc at work when in reality he's cut his spending from around £10 a day on rubbish to £4 a day on just food. He thinks that he's the bad man because everyone on here seems to be judging him on that he spends about £4 a day. He works really hard and although he may not be on exactly the same wavelength of my obsessiveness he has had to make sacrifices too and is getting better. It was his idea to start the £2 fund and he's every bit as excited about paying debts off as I am it's just that he's rubbish with money by his own admittance so he's more than happy to let me control things and tell him what to do, so to speak.

    OTOH, assuming there are 200 working days in the year, that would be £800 pa on daily food. You were thinking hard about having spent £4 on some clothes.

    Note: I've kept the XBox out of it.

    But talking about XBoxes. In other news - Page 17 of Which? Dec 2005.

    Why do I have to be so rubbish?

    You're not rubbish woman! Go make yourself a cuppa and cheer up. You're doing great and no amount of "Health Professionals" should take the shine off that.

    Are fish fingers a good substitute for a cup of tea? Have already had my 'quota' of tea today (Can't stomach more than 3 cups of tea a day...) and have just put some fish fingers in for Ash's dinner.

    Whatever makes you happy. If fingers make you happy - who are we to pass judgement on that..? ;)

    Hi
    Sometimes health professional just do not know how to deal with young mothers. They can draw inappropriate conclusions like 'Young people just cannot cope...', however.... on the other hand maybe they did not know how to respond to you. Constantly asking questions might be the best approach they know, maybe a bit of training would not go amiss. You are doing fantastically!
    Your self restrained is legendary ( re;haircut), I MUST keep away from the internet ticket sites since Download is calling..... Marilyn Manson...;) and I suppose to be a responsible 43 year old mother of two...
    Have you seen 'Cradle of Fear', Mr Filth's acting contribution to the British Cinema?
    SSB :D

    Oops posted before I'd finished. We went to Ozzfest a few years ago. Was fantastic and loved every minute of it except I missed system of a down because the security they'd employed were useless and stopped anyone getting through. :mad:
    Really want to go to download but as usual fat chance of that. Grrrr. Will have to be satisfied by Cradle (Not that it's hard. ;) )
