Hi milann, nice to see you!! Hope you are well.

It is very wet here this morning, which I didn't think was forecast, so I hope it clears up soon. I had sort of planned on heading into town to do the last bits of holiday shopping - toiletries, books, that sort of thing, but I don't so much fancy soggy shopping There's not much I need so I can prob do it in lunchbreaks etc, but I would quite like to be organised for this holiday for a change!!!

Yeah, right :rotfl:

I confess, I've never had a G&T :eek:

**note to self: investigate those single portion things, as long as that doesn't get me chucked off the thread**

And Hypno: I love, love, love the new sig!

hypno06

I've been known to buy the single portion cans in the past - very good for picnics they are too

The sig comes from a card that was sent to me out of the blue from a lifelong friend yesterday who just saw it and thought of me :cool: Was a lovely thing to come home to at the end of a hard week.

You know your turnaround is complete when somebody reads that and thinks of you. Lovely!

Dont you just love friends who take the time to follow up a thought of you? When it is that thought then KC is right, your turn around is complete.

For some reason that doesn't surprise me

I've done my holiday shopping - well as much as I can anyway - got some good bargains, a couple of hats to stop my wrinkles getting any more wrinkly, some excellently priced bikinis and a couple of other bits and pieces. The Boots shop was expensive but sun creams and insect repellent are probably cheaper here on 3 for 2 etc than on hols, so at least that is done.

Did spend a bit in Waterstones, but then I always treat myself to new books for hols.....hmmm

Oh, and that pesky Hobbs sale got in my way too :rotfl:

Stopped at the butchers on the way home and picked up plenty of meat for the freezer so that is one thing I don't have to think about when we return home.

So, all's well......:D

Hi hypno

ouch! sorry to hear about your finger :eek: But woo! :j:j:j to new bikinis and books for holidays Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for the kind advice and support you have shown me on my thread :D I really do appreciate it.

Am sure your holiday will be fab!

I also love your idea of coffee pot vs rome pot & moroccon tagine :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Brilliant and motivational to see it building up like that. i went to rome several years ago - only a very short break and would love to re-visit properly i.e. when i've more time and when i've got some money i can actually spend there

Hi to everyone else too and hope you are all having a lovely weekend x

Thanks DDFW - and you are welcome re the advice etc on your own thread. The way you attack your payments and M/S marathons etc reminds me of how I used to do things in my early years of MSE. I perhaps should embrace more of those things again, but I got to the point where I was just comfortable to "be" for a while, and that is more or less where I remain. But I remember those days with fondness.....or something

The travel pots are certainly helping me to stay motivated re the coffees and unnecessary lunch spending, and have also helped me to budget. Because of course if I spend £2.10 on a coffee, the reality is that I will have taken £10 out of the cash machine, and can be sure that the change won't just be spent on coffees for the rest of the week.....whereas by transferring £2.10 via online banking into the Rome pot, I have *only* spent the £2.10, not anything else, so my money is going further.
