Quick update- have went for a walk up the hills, tidied back garden and cut the grass still a few things to do on today's list but hoping to get everything done before 8pm so I can have a few hours rest.

Welcome to all new posters x

Morning/afternoon!
I went to the posh do last night in a posh frock and shoes and had an ok time but nothing special - speeches went on forever and food was average (always is when you're a veggie:().
It was like a cross between a freemasons meeting and a wedding - very strange - not my scene really. I also bought a bottle of wine for me and my friend at £18 (cheapest one!) and had only 1 glass! It got mysteriously emptied when we went to the loo...... The cheek of it!
And I had to buy a raffle ticket at £10 each!:eek:
So I managed to spend £40 by the taxi and bits and pieces were paid for - not worth it!

Anyway, at least there was no hangover! Tired today though. Also had to pay £25 for the kennels for the dog and petrol to get there - bit of an expensive night out:mad:

Anyway, nothing really planned for today apart from school work and dog walking and making some nice tea (using stuff that's in the fridge and cupboard).
Also planning to not spend anything after yesterday's entravaganze.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday...

Ouch, for a night out you didn't enjoy all that much that sounds pricey! It's such a shame more chefs cannot cook veggie food well, I hope your next night out is a lot better & a lot cheaper! x

Jonno what is a present spreadlist ?

Tebheag- nothing that exciting I'm afraid. It's just an excel list of everyone I buy for at Christmas with 2 columns one for me and OH and the other for DD and then I just put in what plan to buy and its coloured red. If I order it it goes Amber and then when I get it it's green! Seems complicated when I write it down but it's not it just let's me keep track and know where I'm up to

HTH
