Memorygirls - The Matrix Re-inspired

Dorastar

Positive pushy vibes for Parsnip and big :T for the ebay queen.
Have had an odd day so far as my back is chronic today so I need to keep moving or it seizes up. Am a real glamour puss dressed in tracky bottoms and a tshirt as I can waddle around with a slimline hot water bottle stuck down their elastic waist which helps keep me mobile.

Have also managed to actually get through to dh this morning (this takes some doing believe me) and he now understands how much £ we have coming in and how much going out and that he is a fritterer and if he frittered a lot less we could be paying off credit card, saving for wall, saving for other stuff etc. Also spelled out in black and white how we are going to lose £300 a month if govt CB and my pension plans go ahead so we need to stash some away as we will have no 'slush' money available. He has also agreed that his expenses claims which currently get stashed back in his pocket are going to go into a separate pot which we will use for treats - I got him to work out the last time we went out together without the kids and it was my birthday last year so nearly 16 months!!!!!

Have also gutted our room aka the room of doom and started clearing the clutter.

Am quite enjoying this restful bank holiday so far:rotfl:

Dorcaster well done on getting through to OH, wanna try and get through to mine?? He bought a 42" tv on Sat, cause the boys and him were complaining about not seeing stuff on their games consoles on the other tv. So I'm still beating him on the boiler pot

Well half the bedroom has been done, had to come and sit down though as I came over all shakey. So will sit for a while then get the rest finished.

Right I'm off to sort more washing and attempt to finish the bedroom.

:eek::eek::eek: OK so I know they are not exactly in season ............ but

£0.95 for a leek in the local Fruit n Veg shop.:eek::eek::eek:

Back to L**l for me I think.

Mind you I shall appreciate DS1's leeks all the more when they are grown - he's got about £100 quid growing at the moment

Why not MG - after all that cooking why not have a picnic tea with whatever is around? They will love it. Queen, Love LOve LOVE them. That reminds me think there is something on iplayer about them.
Well done on finding the fiver Dora. Pippi over on her thread found a tenner in the washing machine yesterday. Wonder who will be the third person to find some money. Hope its me and its lurking on the lottery ticket!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

I dont believe it the sun just came out after raining fro 3 whole days. Just as I am about to go for a bath to warm myself up. Oh well I might just go for a walk instead.
