  • Oh my word woman, you really have had a very successful January:D When you list all the things you have done you'd think you had spent a fortune, but you haven't - brilliant, hope you're feeling very pleased with yourself:beer:

    What a fab month Determined!!! Sounds great and like you crammed a whole lot in. Good for you.

    Now, what to do with the remaining 47p...? :)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: the decisions I have to make La E!

    thanks for being my biggest supporters ladies (and stitchy of course)!

    I was thinking whether we could in anyway organise a small things meet at some point in the future? Be lovely to actually meet the people I spend a very large chunk of my time with! :T

  • Stitchy I will at my next team meeting discuss with my team dates and then come back to you, sorry its taking so long - work is just manic for me at the moment! Have you been to Brighton? My fave place and just a stones throw away? was also thinking about looking for the free gym membership passes I have at the gym I used to use and then going for a suana :), also do you like swimming? My gym currently has this offer where I can get a week's free membership for a friend? well you'll need the cozzy for the sauna anyway! x
    I remember going to Brighton once or twice many many moons ago, but I don't know what stone you're throwing as I'd say it was a good couple of hours from you!! Actually, it's about half way between us both. Don't worry about that bit of my 101 things list, as I've got a few other places I NEED to visit this year.

    Sauna and a swim sound good. Shame I haven't got a swimming corset ;)

    Well done with the spending diet - such an inspiration! I can only say I have totally blown the budget today and feeling very guilty for it too :o:o

    Would be great! :T

    My sis lives quite close to Brighton actually and I've only been there briefly. More visits definitely needed in future ;)

    let's have a weekend in Brighton - OMG the debaunchery we could have :T:T:T:T :j:j:j:j:j

    opps blew my budget :o by 23p :p

    although technically if I have £15 pw spending money in the month of Jan then as there are 4.4 weeks (or is it 4.3?) that means £15/7=£2.14 PD*31 (DAYS) =£66.43 so still within budget "technically" :p

    Mils you must have had a wail of a time at Brighton uni!

    I did - which is why I had to leave after 2 years, no work and no degree...ooops:o:o I partied too much, was too young to find the balance between having fun and doing uni work...so left before I was asked to go! Big regret though....hence the studying now, at the grand old age of 38:rotfl:

  • ur still a baby love - plenty of wildness left in you I have no doubt! x
