Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

That makes me think of that Honda advert, "hate something, change something, make something better" - all the bunny rabbits were running from the nasty diesel, or wearing ear muffs, or shooting arrows at it, and when the new quiet one came in, a rainbow appeared. It was a great advert! I actually downloaded it, never done that before

I'll climb back in my tree now

Honda do make good adverts usually don't they

Cute as a button that puppy - and of course Peedie is too, I like dogs but not the thought of walking in bad weather or scooping, so happy to cuddle other people's instead!

Oh dear, spent again.....went in to get a lottery ticket (oops!), and couldn't resist 20p chillis, now in freezer, 30p parsnips, 30p carrots and broccoli and 65p yummy bread rolls.

Tomorrow, the purse is staying at home!! I have about £200 left for the month to cover everything....But in good news, I got to have some lovely cuddles with OH this afternoon, nattering and snuggling on the sofa and making plans for the weekend

Yay for lovely cuddles KK :j :j

And yay for pesky small dogs

Pippi, stop sausaging girl, I bet you're a FAB teacher! You worrying bout it is a sign of wanting to make sure you do it properly - and fretting a little bit (but not lots!) will make sure you do the preparation, and will mean that your class wll be marvellous! :T :T :T If I was there I'd be taking it

Great teaching advice on here Pippi, not that I'm a teacher but I help out with various child-related things and I feel more confident in my abilities the more I do, I had sleepless nights before leading my first session - and that was infront of a bunch of 5-7 year olds!

morning
internet bad here - hope you're all good

bank checked, all tight but OK.

CC next - well when I can get it to load.

Good luck Pippi, hope it'll speed up! I'm feeling great as I've realised that I had double-accounted for my credit card, so "found" an extra £60 for the month, yippee

I have my purse with me but will only be adding to it today as I won a whopping £5.70 on the Euromillions!!

Update: oops, forgot it's OH's son's birthday at the weekend so have sent him a card and present and will shortly be buying something on Ebay that finishes in a little while! I am rubbish aren't I?!? But then they are both paid on Paypal, so not directly from my purse.....

Well done KK! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sorry to hear about the slow t'internet connection Pippi, hope you can get things done despite it.

Well done on your win and other money-accruing adventures KK :T

Not going anywhere today and not spending on-line either. Been busy baking this morning (4 fruit loaves and 3 dozen courgette buns cooling in the kitchen) as well as a bit of painting. Having a sit-down to catch up with emails and MSE for a bit before heading upstairs to sort out my "craft" room, still not fully sorted, but woukd like to get some sewign done today sometime

Oh I need to ring our local car-man-that-does, and ask if he will take our old estate, and possibly give us a bit of money for it (cheek I know as it's pretty clapped out, but it got 4 new tyres in the summer, and has a nearly full tank of diesel....well, I didn't think we would be getting a new car quite so soon! :o:o

Have a good day everyone...still a bit breezy up with you Pippi??

such a very cute puppy, such a lovely colour.

Keiss - clapped out or not, scrap merchant pay for car's down this way. There is a lot of money in scrap metal at the mo so it may be worth checking the local paper and having a ring around
