    Nope! Everything is my fault or because of an action that i did. He's fantastic at twisting my words to say what he wants them too....i call it his secret weapon :rolls eyes:
  • afternoon all, lovely day here :D we took kids to zoo (and dh was on best behaviour) and I found £10 :eek: !!! 1p, 2p !! It's definitely my new hobby now lol. I was going to give the tenner back but i didn't know who had dropped it and as it was so busy dh told me to keep for ice creams...i felt so guilty after though :o!

    Not a nsd. £20 on petrol. £4 on bread, and a few sweets for kids (and it reminded me why i avoid the co-op so bl00dy expensive). Petrol was not budgeted for as we've gone over the budget now (after paying MIL's petrol) so luckily we had £20 left in there! Now the bank is down to £1.54 :eek:! The bread & sweets came from my pocket money :cool:

    NSD tomorrow, has to be really :rotfl: I is broke now!

    My father called and is still having ds1 over for some of easter, will keep him busy hopefully and away from the x-box & ps3 for a while :cool:. Anyway must go, dinner on & i'm starving!

  • Hey DFW :wave: good on you for finding a tenner :D. Don't feel guilty! I make a point of looking out for lost and lonely money :p. Apart from the regular pennies I find, I've also caught a £5 note as it was blowing down the high street, £20 that was dropped in a car park and then in France one year, I found a 20 euro note in a SM car park!!

    My OH thinks I'm nuts or lucky! I don't really care which I am :p:p.
