    Hi Keiss
    The coaster is lovely, really hope he liked it.

    Hope your tooth starts to get better soon, it sounds really painful:eek:

    You're having a rough time at the moment, remember to rest and look after yourself.

    ((((((hugs))))))

    Thanks Spoony, yes, he liked the coaster, though the cheque went down better!!! He did moan a bit about not getting it sooner as he had just been in town to put the rest of his birthday money into his bank! Boys!!!

    I am feeling a bit better again today, though I can really tell when I need to have the next dose of paracetamol!!! That's soon so I must go and make lunch in a mo. Must do some gardening done this afternoon...DS2 had diabetes appointment this morning, and later I made him in carrying all the heavy shopping, he comes in usefull every so often!!

    Should be an NSD weekend...more gardening stuff to be done!

    Have a lovely day everyone.

    Hi all!

    What a lovely day! Wish I had something exciting to do with my weekend to take advantage of the sun! Working tomorrow morning :( *must keep thinking of the money*

    Anyway it was NSD 6 yesterday, 5 in a row!! A bit gutted I have to spend today, but I am sick of frozen food! And would much prefer a big shop on a Friday night rather than Saturday or Sunday! Can't remember the last time I went supermarket shopping on a weekend, I get terrible trolley rage!

    Hi everyone,

    Been a bit of a spendy week but today is NSD #2. I'm determined to reach my target this month!

    On a seperate note to those who remember me talking about my S.Dad's health issues. He's had a pacemaker fitted today and we've just heard it all went well so I'm feeling very happy :D

    Off for a catch up with the thread, hope you're all well,

    Going away for the weekend to MIL's house in the country, so had to spend some money on food to take with us. Not a NSD but still within budget for the week ;).

    Hugs to everyone xx

    That's good news about your S.Dad Honey, glad everything went well.

    Well it feels more like June than April in my garden today - it was only when I looked at some of the plants yet to come out of winter hibernation I realised it was still only the beginning of April.

    Had the afternoon off to enjoy the sun and been sorting some stuff out from the shed for a car boot on Sunday (please let the weather stay nice, please let the weather stay nice) My friend and I need to invest in a new table, but we're gonna go halves on it and as her hubby rightly points out, once we've bought it we'll have it and it will last in the long run if we get a decent one now (though I told her not to tell him I agreed with him :rotfl:)

    Well NSD fell at the first today....with a £1 in the Grand National Office sweep. Got some French donkey that was about 100/1 so no chance of re-couping my costs, even if we put Igor on to ride it tomorrow :rotfl:

    Also had to collect car from garage....already knew they had to replace the rear shock absorber (£40) and two exhuast clips (£35 for both) ... plus MOT, service costs, labour + VAT....but wasn't quite prepared for £291 :eek::eek: They'd also found a part on the engine managment cooling system (whatever the beejesus that means) which needed replacing so that was £20 too. I though it might have been about £200 so I'm a bit :eek: at how much it really was. It is a good garage though and I know they won't have ripped me off - just could've done without the cost - and breakdown cover is due next month. So that will make it Tax last month, MOT & service this month and then breakdown cover..... I think I'd better start looking for some more things to sell at this car boots on Sun.....

    CW - sounds like a busy weekend for you, we'll give you a wave as we fly over the bowling alley - shall we put a bet on for you?
    Thanks for the offer, but No thanks...

    I don't even do sweepstakes, as I don't like horse racing in the slightest (and don't/won't do anything that could be seen as encouraging/supporting it). I would never dream of having a pop at anyone who does, but it's really not my thing at all :o
