Morning Peeps!

A bit overcast here this morning (I am starting to feel like a weather girl! lol) - but apparently going to be cracking for the weekend!

Need to return my clothes purchase from Mr T's - all this exercise malarky appears to have shrunk my assets a little! Not sure whether to just get a refund or another size - refund is an option as they had no matching bottoms worth wearing to match.... oh, the dilemma! lol

The upside of exercising is that the wearable content of my wardrobe appears to have increased and more of my clothes now fit - just need to decide if I would be seen out in them! ;O)

Nothing else to report really - actually.... nothing at all!

Ta ra for now! x

well done for shrinking, wish i could say the same it would give me an excuse to buy some new clothes as a lot of what i'm wearing is donkey's years old.

Good morning All!

Another glorious day here!

Lovely evening yesterday too, so headed out into our little garden and had an hour or so living 'The Good Life'! Little veg patch more or less all dug over, pots emptied ready for things like radishes and carrots and the mint and rosemary re-potted! Its's looking better out there already... and there's nothing growing yet!

That's all I have to report for now! Hope everyone is well? Laters x

our garden could do with a flame thrower, but then i think this whole place is the same, but i think i'm that kind of frame of mind. think Easter is going to be spent with lots of large charity bags.

Good lovely sunny morning All!

I hope you have all had your share of sunshine this week?

Well, it's my favourite day of the week again - I get 5 of them this month!!! Money has shifted around according to my instructions and everything tallies to the penny!

Grand National this weekend - have a new online account sorted, via Q.co that will give me £20 cashback when I deposit and bet £20.... so even if my horse/s lose, I won't be out of pocket! Now that is the type of betting I like!

Working tomorrow and then out for a friends birthday dinner tomorrow - to our favourite Italian restaurant - yum yum yum!

Still no more clothes spends!

LT I know exactly what you mean (and I have always wanted play with a flame thrower - ever since Aliens!!!) I have 9 days off work at the end of April .... time to be dedicated to decorating, cleaning, sorting, tidying, throwing out, charity shopping, ebaying (or at least set aside to ebay) and if I have enough time, everything will be coming out the loft, it will be boarded and then the everything will be sorted, re-boxed and organised according to long term keep, annual access required (xmas decs etc) or instant access for boot fairs!! PHEW - I am worn out just thinking about it - might cancel the time off and work instead - less tiring! :rotfl:

Right, off to do some work! If I don't catch up with you before, have a cracking weekend, Nats x

sounds like you'll need your 9 days off. I think what brings me down is before Mr LT moved in, which is only less than 3 years ago, i had a massive sort out so that he could 'fit'. and he didn't really bring that much with him other than some clothes. Where has it all come from???????

Enjoy the sunny weekend as well.

Ah, now see my OH is a serial boot-fair buyer and charity shop fanatic.... this in turn leads to many 'bargains buys' or items that he 'will sell for more' being in our house. Then he moans at all the "clutter" and says that the place is a bit of a tip.... BUT IT'S ALL HIS STUFF!!!!! lol:rotfl:

Needless to say OH is not off work the same time I am - so what he doesn't see go, I doubt he will ever remember!!

Nats are you too worn out to type?
Did you win big on the National and escape to sunnier climes?

Good morning All!

I KNOW I KNOW! I appear to have been lax on the whole writing thing - but, in my defence I wrote my Friday update this morning as I am not at work tomorrow, and the computer ate it... it just vanished!! :mad:

But, now the morning rush has passed, I will try again!

Tomorrow I am off work as we are taking DSS to Legoland - not sure at the moment who is more excited.... me or him! lol

I did have a little win (and 3rd!) on the GN - returned a £22.50 profit, or £42.50 if my new account tracks via Q.co. Nice!

Thank you Mr Tax Man - I am now £4.87 a week better off - although it sounds better when you calculate it through at £253.24 a year! YAY! lol

Clothing budget £80/£100 remaining
Decorating budget remaining £200/£200 remaining

(Oooh, and I have a new car - all run through the spreadsheet and it's fine! I am due £218.31 back from my old cars finance though! YAY!! - Now althouh this is a little frivolous, it isn't that bad as this summer I was due to fork out £200 for a service and a similar amount for 2 new tyres! So all is not bad really!)

I have changed my budget as well.... I was sending £10 a week to my eSavers Acc to cover diesel and withdrawing £50 for misc spends. Now, what with the increase in the cost of fuel, I am transfering £15 a week to the eSavers and only withdrawing £30. I found that if I had £50 in my purse, I would spend it - I have to think a bit more about dwindling away £30 (I am not strange - honest!)

And, I think that is about it for now - I am sure some other bits will rattle through my brain at some point during the day and I'll be back!

If not, hope the rest of the week and the weekend is a good one for you!

Nats x :beer:
