    PP, I am taking you with me next time hehehehe :p

    We basically went out, after I had the chocolate muffin.. clubbing!
    I got a bit carried away on my dance moves lololol just a tad tho.. no full splits hahaha.

    My husband recorded most of my "bad behaviour". He is saving it to show to the kids when they are teenagers.. why drugs are bad for you... *cheeky monkey* loool

    He says I am always so worried about kids, work, home, finances and everything that I forget to live.. hence the space cake/chocolate muffin prank!

    My mum didnt talk to him for weeks, she was horrified by what she saw loooool I dont blame her.

    It was good fun, I suppose.

    Hi guys

    I spent £15.30 yesterday, bringing my total to £25.30 out of a pledge of £10. It was purely because I forgot to get wine on the weekend and I needed 2 bottles. When I got to Tesco yesterday I could have had the one I love at £5.49 a bottle down from £8.99, or they had 3 for £12 on and a couple of nice ones on that. So I got the £12 offer as it was £1.50 more, and now I have a spare bottle for when it's needed. Or when I need it hahaha :rotfl: The other £3.30 was for 2pts milk, apples, bananas, and one thing I didn't have on my list which was nectarines as they had packs of 3 reduced from £1.49 to 75p. I couldn't resist as I refuse to buy them full price but as this made them 25p each I couldn't say no!!! Wish I'd bought 2 packs really and one for my mum as well, they had loads there and they were absolutely lovely, so sweet and juicy, what a treat, YUM!

    I'm over my pledge but I don't mind as I did genuinely forget the above on my shop on Saturday, so it's no more money than I would have spent, plus it's not like I've gone and blown hundreds, it's still only 25 quid at the end of the day.

    Oh and i haven't smoked since 10pm Monday night.

    Hi elsiepac

    Oh a bad behavious boot camp one would be good and I could sign up my nephews and OH:D

    I got a facebook request from a friend who is a fitness instructor and is starting an early sunday morning bootcamp - circuits, running etc. I felt that I couldn't say no and wanted to support him. It's for 3 hours:eek:. After next sunday I may not be back on MSE as I will have collapsed and died. :)
