    Shala-Moo, you are going to HAVE to change your user name because every time I see it I start singing your name to the tune of 'Is this the way to Amarillo' and my work colleague keep asking what is making me think of that song. Can hardly say I'm have a sneaky update on MSE.........

    Am glad. Otherwise I would have had to hunt you down and kill you (Moderators this is a joke) out of jealousy. Now I can go back to thinking you look more like this.

    Dear lord, are you trying to kill me?! :rotfl: I nearly choked on my tea!
    *Taxed myself 0.60p for 3 teaspoons of sugar
    20p per teaspoon... interesting. I must therefore owe the piggy pot £1.70 for the last few days... and that's only in tea. Not even sure what adding cereal to that would be. I also purchased myself a woopsied Cadbury Wispa yogurt thing today at the sm - 59p reduced from 78p, but even so... bad Caz... baaaaaaaaad! Think perhaps the entire price of that should be taxed...? I wouldn't have bought it at all had I not walked past the woopsie section and stopped to stare at a chicken.

    I now have a vision of you staring down a chicken at the whoopsie section 'Geroff my Cadbury Wispa Yoghurt!'. The chicken is wearing blue heels with a matching handbag that don't do anything for its pale plucked complexion.

    Sugar - that was for one cup of tea!! I don't drink tea very much but when I do I need it uber-sweet. So in a tall cup I have errrr 4 spoons - but this morning I left about 1/3 hence the fine for 3 spoons :o:o:o:o
  • *Taxed myself 0.60p for 3 teaspoons of sugar

    That is cheating :eek:

    Tax yourself atleast 1p per spoon, the lowest denomination of UK coinage.

    ok small things (this week to come)

    - kept to calorie allowance today so no "choc tax", not sure whether this is good or bad??
    - save petrol tomorrow as no work (hospital appt instead but my dad takes me)
    - dad will drop me off at hospital and then pick me up when i ring instead of paying £5 to park :eek:
    - will be making a homemade foccacia (a la Hairy Dirty Bikers)
    - making homemade stew in slow cooker, will freeze a few portions and have some for tea, so much veg in it, it should be low in cals
    - charge phone at work
    - made a cheap pudding for the next few days (SF jelly, water and yogurt - makes a nice milk jelly type thing) 80p ish for 6 with a bit of squirty cream on top, just enough to satisfy the sweet craving
    - got £5 extra from cake order as a "tip"
    - will catch up on surveys - also sent referral links to OH - he will join :D
    - £35 M&S vouchers and £10 sainsburys voucher for shopping at the end of the week
    - tried to drive more sensibly to work and back to conserve petrol
