Oooh AND he can buy shoes as gifts!

Ok, now I'm interested .

Just been dying on the sofa & watching Jamie's Great Britain. I think he has my kind of camper van .


Ok, let's talk about the money:

- in my pocket money purse I have £21 left.

I already had £15 in my pocket money purse before I added £60 from my pocket money money fund.

I therefore spent £54 from there.



- in my everyday purse I have £8 left.

I already had about £3 + change in there & added £30 from the Fun fund

I therefore spent £25 from there.


I know the train fare was £3.10 & the taxi fare was £20 so we can deduce therefore, that the round of drinks I bought, cost .... £56 :eek:.

I do remember trying to buy a round, Highly Annoying then getting all manly & telling me that when they take 'ladies' out, the ladies don't pay. That always makes my hackle rise & as we were in fact celebrating The Chief's impending marriage, I insisted on buying him a drink .

I also remember feeling that Highly Annoying's speech came across as somewhat 'proprietorial' ( if that's the right word ?) & made me a bit uneasy as to whether he felt he was taking ownership of me for the night :mad:. As my memory returns in fragments, I have a slightly distasteful remembrance of him trying to hold my hand in the taxi ... eeeeeuuuuuuuwwwwww _pale_.

Anyway, as DD took £20 for her night out & I used up the other £30; the Fun fund is now empty .

Total spends on Friday was £250.93p.

Total spend today is £000 - NSD 12 :j.



I'll be trying to resist the urge to go to Waitrose & stock up on fresh fruit & veg tomorrow. I'm sure we can get by with what we have in stock & for any bits we might need, such as milk I'm going to use the co op vouchers .

Ooh sorry Rosa,

was so busy typing my own reply that I missed yours .

Thanks for the ebook link :A & I can't wait to hear about the boat viewing , would storage space be an option for some stuff ? - ooh cheery - forgot your post too, I've only recently become aware that you were also a boaty :cool:.

I absolutely loved living on the boat, * wonders if Mr. Laidback might be persuaded to buy one :think: * & still keep that option open for a possible E.F.R.

Off to watch some Merlin now ...

A one driven by a multi-millionaire?

Well if it was, he's just made an arse of himself in front of his workmates... WTG... :rotfl:

Perhaps you should have let him - at least then you'd know where they were...

*I know it used to be perceived differently for older women-younger men than vice versa, but I think that's changing. People hit different stages of their lives at different times and have different plans. I have exBFs 17 years older than me and 6 younger - the only thing that was an issue is you have to have your childhood TV and music nostalgia with friends instead!

Or you have eclectic tastes. I'll pretty much listen to most good music from the Big Band era up to Adele. I irritate my workmates by liking both heavy metal and opera...

:rotfl: logical... but somehow I doubt I'd manage to maintain logic in that particular situation.

:happyhear :rotfl: the rest of the uni heavy metal society committee told me off for giving flyers to freshers in Radiohead t-shirts.
