    Now, I read that and thought eh? Then looked at the date between diary entry.....

    You've been very much missed :j

    I'm sorry I've not been about much - italian invasion then brother turning up for a week rather unexpectedly (Ie I had to phone my mother to ask if I was pickign him up from the ferry :eek: and he had got on it (after a short uncommitted conversation) and not told me)

    Alls well that ends well.

    A nice quiet weekend with Mr LT sounds rather fab:T in some ways better if the weathers carp - so you don't feel guilty not doing much :)

    I hope the yukky week at work will unmangle it from your noggin and you get to relax

    Glad the nephew concert went well - nice when they do really well aint it?:A

    Did Mr LT get the bargain food?
    Did your CC let you have £5 back?

    I really hope you're OK and have a nice weekend with Mr LT - I've been hanging onto polytunnel hoops with my hands trying to figure out if I can jump through it!

    I love the sound of music, infact I love all musicals

    I hope you can forgive my quietness :) xxxxxxxxxxxxx I'll slap myself - but not very hard, I'm a bit achy:rotfl:

    Have a good one!

    Hows the store cupboard foraging going? Mines still on track, in one freezer I can almost move things around due to extra space we have :rotfl:

    Hey LT, let me know next time you're having a sing a long to Sound of Music and i'll join in :o and hope you're having a relaxing time. OH is out but unfortunately not SS and he's in a sulk as he can't get access to the tv in the living room (the one with the Sky box), he has a tv in his room with internet access and a playstation. We don't have a tv in our room so what am I supposed to do?.... twiddle my thumbs? Sorry I don't think so.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    hey folks, never appologise for not posting everyone has busy lives i know that was well as most as i'm just as busy.
    I'm wondering if i'm coming on here less as i'm getting closer and close to by DF date? maybe maybe not. Maybe there's so much going on that i just don't get online as much.

    had a very quiet weekend with Mr LT, furthest i went was to the library, my folks and to Lidl on the way back. We didn't go anywhere today which was probably a good thing as i ended up back in bed at 4ish as i couldn't keep my eyes open, seems to be happening more and more, guess it's my age.

    Pippi our storecupboard challenge is going terribly we don't have s apare inch in the freezer, actually thats a lie as i took a loaf out today so we have a loaf sized spare inch. We've managed to get lots of prepped vegies for 10p a bag so we've loads of them, oh and turkey thighs which have been dirt cheap. No pun intended. They seem massive, actually i'd say they're proportionally the same size as mine given the general size of a turkey! We roasted one in the slow cooker today and it was yummy, not dry at all which turkey has the reputation of being. Will keep that in mind if we ever get a house to be able to do Christmas dinner in.

    Should get my CC fiver, just waiting for the statement to be drawn up. It's one of the lowest bills for ages which is really good as well.
  • Laughing at your freezer.

    Take care of yourself, sleeps important, if you need it, sleep!

    Glad the turkey thigh was yummy often see them and think, will I?

    Hope this week at work is better.

    Not long til you dfd :) woo hoo

    Pippi i personally would have looked and thought nah! but Mr LT bought them on his way home from work. I'm glad he did now as they make a bargain roast and there's loads of meat in them
