    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Sorry haven't been on for a few days. Just got my first pets in over 6 years (two male 1 year old rats) from freecycle so busy with them...but will menu plan later and get to Mr A and Mr Al...

    Also tomorrow is a simple agenda. Get the ratties registered with PDSA (wasn't going to be urgent till I discovered a scab on Milos tale - currently treating with salt water. Checked this out with PDSA) and then go pick up this extra cage that's going on the top from a charity shop in peterhead then a frugal tea @ the mission

    So pleased with the boys and they are settling in well. Feels weird to go from 1 - 3 over night but they are gorgeous...Pics on imageshack to follow

    Sleep is good...eating still a little chaotic

    Oooh is that when you put your tootsies in a bowl of teeny fish and they nibble the dead skin away?! Sounds odd...but I'd try it:D
    Enjoy...let us know if you have beautiful feet afterwards:rotfl:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    You'll have to let me know how the fish pedicure goes. My feet are in a terrible state at the moment :o. Though I have feeling I maybe a bit too ticklish for it . . .:D

    I always think this is so strange - these fish are everywhere in the tropics and nibble your extremities for free, and they feel so weird that I cant imagine paying for it! And if they get hold of a little cut or scab.... ooouuuccchhhh!

    What a lovely treat from your mum though.

    You guys are so inspiring :)

    Woke up really tired this morning, my lovely other half had his birthday present of a cookery course last night so was late back and buzzing to tell me all about it :) I'm so glad he enjoyed it and we have a gourmet 3 course meal for tea tonight! But I was paying for it this morning, I struggled to get going and was so close to caving in and getting the bus, but he told me not to give up, that combined with the thought of posting on here that i managed it got me through!

    So today I have/will:

    -walked to work
    -will walk home too
    -brought lunch with me
    -am trying not to eat my lunch until lunchtime, so am snacking on some grapes!
    -making coffee at work and drinking water
    -have a driving lesson tonight which is budgetted for, but no NSD
    -trying to find a cheaper subscription for my mum's mothers day present (i can't seem to find one anywhere, I'll get her what she wants but it'd be nice to save some money on it too
    -payday tomorrow and budget is done, its going to be a tight one, but at least its done
    -will meal plan for next week tonight and do our shopping online
    -checked quidco/pigsback/onepoll
    -all searches through swagbucks

    Can't think of anything else for the time being
    Happy thursday guys!

    Ahhh so that's what it is...thanks for clearing that up :D Clearly the town I live in is not upmarket enough for mini fish! I'm not too sure if I'd like that or not though lol.

    Sounds very strange, but I hope you enjoy it catmiaow!

    Hi everyone :hello:

    Just popping in on my lunch to see what everyone is up to…

    I feel ticklish thinking about the fishes but would defos give it a try!

    Other things from me:
    • Bit of voluntary work - emailed, not called or sent a letter, so no expenses accrued :)
    • Didn't go for my 72p croissant treat; got a 21p banana treat instead :p
    • Asked for flex one afternoon next week :)
    • OH cracking on with redecorating the bathroom :D
    • Emailed laundry man :)
    • Shifting some money around - bills a/c is v close to 0 and has no overdraft. Dunno whether to set up a £250 buffer just to be sure…
    oooh that DFW addiction has kicked in today! :D
