    I remember many a gig I landed up going to after having a wee drink and buying tickets ... A-ha were amazing and a band I would never have seen had it not been for a drunken ticket purchase :)

    I usually found out i was going when the tickets arrived:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  • Glad you enjoyed the cinema Tilly! - I do love those films :rotfl:
    Your dinner ideas always sound fab too!
    Keep on keeping on , I find motivation definitely ebbs and flows with this but that's okay , I figure we are all like that and unless its a matter of months , we need to keep at it for years to finish the journey so a few meh days or weeks even shouldn't matter in the long term! :)

    I think the accidental house purchase started off with a bottle of wine Right Move evening :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Mr T is making the supper Morcilla con Manzana from Casa Moro. It's a tapas type dish and we are cheating and having it with a larger salad.

    I read that as 'lager salad' - must be beerly time for the weekend :beer:
  • Evening, catching up on diaries whilst on an escalation call about Brazil - fantastic.

    Mr E, I think Mr T may quite fancy a lager salad - will suggest it :)

    El & GG, I promise not to buy any accidental 'anythings' :)

    Ixia, Mr T wants to see Ironman as well - no clue when we will fit that in :rotfl:

    I'd better go back to paying attention

    Have a good night

    My house is looking like a bomb site but we are out in the morning, then out for a late lunch so it will have to wait :eek:

    No food plan but planning to buy fruit, milk and some veg today then we have no choice but to live out of the freezer and larder :eek:

    Morning Tilly

    Re £co - that never used to be the case so must be a change in terms since the premium account thing came in. :( However, if you are past your anniversary date (can check this on account settings) you can downgrade to basic - then as you don't pay £5 fee and the checks in are your own again
    Thanks for bringing the change to my attention

    Have a lovely weekend

    :) BW

    Morning, frantic but fun weekend.

    67p TT
    H@lif@x rewards to come back today hopefully

    Meal plan for the coming week only and no real shopping done this weekend.

    30 minutes of ironing finished a few minutes ago and I need to get the fish out of the freezer for dinner this evening. It needs to be a quick one, so not sure whether I'll have time for fish pie.

    Work calls again this evening :eek:

    I haven't been posting as much recently as, although my life is normally busy, the last week or two have seen a turn to the ridiculous. I'm taking some practical steps to improve the situation but I won't benefit for a few weeks. So in the meantime, our volunteering is taking a back seat. We haven't been this weekend, are doing an hour one night this week, but we will then step down for a couple of months. It seems a bit sad but both of us (Mr and Mrs) feel we are being pulled too thin - and that has to stop.

    Have a glorious day with the sun shining.



    Best wishes
