    Well today i had a nice surprise :) My missing wages are in and the account looks extremely flush...but it is all spoken for, so must behave myself!

    Stomach still feels full from over pigging out on delicious curry last night. :)

    It was the nicest Tikka Masala i have had for a very long time- Yes, i am not that adventurous when it comes to curries and i had to laugh when the waiter guessed all of our orders-we are so British when ordering Indian food :)

    I am just debating whether to do an approved food order or not. We have a stack of cheap shops locally, but i am quite tempted. Any advice appreciated and i am going to have a look on the threads as well just to get an overview.

    MG on the matrix thread has just had an AF order delivered. I think it might be good for families, but as there is just me, it would be too much.

    How are things at the 'ark' today? :grin:

    I may have a compare of cheapie shops and see if it will work out. I have had a quick skim read of the approved food thread on here and there is mixed opinions.

    Things in this little part of the world not to bad at the moment :)

    We still argued about other stuff, but progress is being made:cool: So back to a normal day in the household after the anniversary-Life eh?
