    Ah, found you :D
    Seems to be a few of us returning recently having gone awol for a time :cool: Things do just seem to get in the way don't they :o

    They sure do. I need to manage this from the start - enough effort to make a serious difference - but not so much time on here that I don't do anything else!! :p
    Ditto what Hypno said ... BUT - as for catching up ...... good luck with that :eek:.... the rate some of them are talking you could be some time ... least we'll know why if you go mia again ... I still haven't caught up :rotfl::rotfl:

    Dont think I have a hope of catching up on 18 months or how ever long it's been - will just dive back in and catch up as I go along! :D
    Plus she pinched all the Jaffa's again :shocked::naughty:

    Is she still doing that?? LOL
    Sorry things have been so rough, hope you are on the mend now :A

    Much better now thanks. :)
    Look forward to the progress and at least I may be able to keep up with this one :o

    I hope so. I've asked for it to be moved to the diaries board - save starting a new one there!

    Ok - stuff listed on eBay, Euros found ready for conversion, list of people to phone tomorrow to see about reducing payments on empty house. Now to sort out meal plans for the week (parents here so need something but want to minimise). Good to be back. :)

    With the number of cross-overs we're all doing ..... We'll all be following each other round the threads & diaries like Nellie the elephant ... trunk to tail :rotfl:

    Ooooh, wonder if we could maybe get a big enough train of peeps and to do the conga through them all :eek: now there's a challenge :p:rotfl::rotfl:

    Sorry ... :o little things make me smile sometimes and I needed the light relief ;)

    Aaagh. Just got a notice of prosecution for speeding through - seems to be on the motorway but in a 50 limit - probably one of those average checks. My own fault but annoyed at myself - waste of £60 or whatever they charge these days. Not to mention the points. Well that's me driving at the speed limit from now on.

    On the plus side - done week shopping including food for the parents and it was just over £60 - still needs to come down but given how high it has been of late I am happy with that especially since it is for 4 rather than just the two of us. Have found a wonderful and cheap fruit and veg shop locally too!
  • Ooouch Miz :shocked: Not good :(

    I managed to collect a parking ticket the other week - but as there was no clear indication that I couldnt park there .. I've contested it - not heard back yet mind :o

    Well done on the shop ... I've been looking locally for a good quality but cheap greengrocer and butcher ... not found the right combination yet - most of the places round here are farm shops and quite pricey ones at that :eek:

    Hi mizmir welcome back. Hope that you can make a big dent in your debts before your circumstances change. And fingers crossed on the house.

    So this is now officially my new diary - thanks for moving the thread NearlyRich.

    BOB & Chev :hello: - great to see you again. Certainly intend to reduce those debts - no - I WILL reduce the debts - before May.

    That said will not be here much this week - have the parents staying. But lots of good MSE low cost/free activities planned!! So I haven't gone AWOL again and will try to drop in. :)
