Gonna have to be mean and leave him with less pocket money than usual but maybe that will be a lesson learnt (god i sound harsh don't I?) as usually i have to do the struggling and the bailing out of us.

Not harsh at all. Either he's promised, not intending to deliver, in which case he needs to stop that, or he's promised and forgotton to deliver in which case you're doing him a favour by reminding him.

honestly he's not that bad, and he would have given me the money straight away, but i thought it would be fine when the bill came in, but then he bought a new satnat and ended up losing 12hrs wages as he had to phone in sick at work. Guess i have learnt my lesson. But honestly he's not bad.

things do crop up from time to time to throw a spanner in the works ..at least forewarned helps

Lemon_Tree

that it does Taxi, that it does! my problem is that i want to put my money in the savings account against the Norbert loan rather than pay it off the CC but if i'm going be spending money i've got to pay it back.

Just sold my final £1 worth of onions before i took the add off the notice board at work, so that's a tenner in total which i think is pretty good. Ok not a huge sum in the grand scheme of things but it will help offset some of my plant/seed bill this year.

£10 is better than you had before so :beer:, okay off to cut up my CC NOW!

Edit : CC cut up and binned *grin*

Lemon_Tree

yay that's a mega step Dragon. I'm not that brave yet.

Hi Lemon Tree
Can you pm me your address so I can send you the baby Lambs Lugs

Lemon_Tree

email sent, thanks so much Greenval.

Hope everyone has a good weekend planned, i'm hoping to go to a crop tomorrow so i really must print out some photos tonight or it will be another reason not to go. We're hoping my folks will be visiting us for half an hour or so on sunday which will be nice, as they haven't been here since before Christmas.
for weird reasons tonight is giving me bad memories/vibes, it's just cos it's comic relief night and on the first one my dad had 3 heartattacks that night and technically died 3 times that night, sort of sticks in your head when you're there at the time. I know they're not linked events in anyway but still........

And that also means you've saved the money for your own onions and that will cut down your food bills for the onions and the petrol to go and buy them and the packaging they'd come in you'd need to recycle - all round its a big saving when you can grow some.

When you add it up - growing your own will save you much more than just the £10 the small things really do add up, well done you:T

*hello* haven't popped nose over for a while, sorry!

Trying to sort your strawberries today! xx

Lemon_Tree

don't rush over the strawberries, i'm sure they're perfectly happy with you.
We're planning some more time at the lottie tomorrow. OH did some tidying up in the back garden, we're thinking of replacing all the fences, can't remember if i said that before, so we have to look into that.
Got another step further on the porch issue, managed to get the addy of the landowner and for free, ie didn't have to pay the land registry, so once i've set the ball rolling i know where to write the letter pleeing for them to step in get things sorted.
Had a lovely day today, spent the day at a crop and scrapbooked 2 pages. Not much but i did enjoy myself, and except for paying for the class kit and the crop i stayed away from the shop and didn't spend anything else yay!
