You're a nutter and I'm pretty barmy too
Forget the walking. We've no chance of remembering where we're supposed to be going :rotfl:. Maybe we could take along a guide

What plays are you going to see?
Ps. Mr T charges too much, several thousand if I want to use a low resolution picture of him on my corporate website for 5 years :rotfl:
Pps. How many sleeps? :xmastree:0 -

The Hollow, The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, Yes Prime Minister are the three I can remember off the top of my head
Next thing is to hunt down more free cinema tickets.

Morning, Thursday already
Poor Mr T is poorly and needs to come home but too ill to drive. I'm hoping he's slept well and feels better today. Sounds like old fashioned flu
Making a beef stew pie tonight with bargainous puff pastry. I also have a cake to make for a Halloween event at work tomorrow.
Today will be a NSD and I'll finish on time tonight and will head home to look after Mr T, if he's managed to get home.
No other news and no pennies anywhere.

Hi Tilly
Sorry, you may already know this but have you had a look at the Ll0yds Club account? There are different benefits you can choose but one of them is 6 free cinema tickets. Off the top of my head you need to pay in £1500 a month for the account fee to be waived (can be in multiples and moved straight back out again) and pay two D/D's. If you have enough DD's you and Mr T could have 3 accs between you, 2 sole and one joint so 18 cinema tickets
There are no identifiers on the tickets so they can be sold too so if you don't fancy the account perhaps you could pick up the tickets elsewhere as I've seen on other threads that people are selling them
The Account also gives you access to Club 4% savings account (max £400 pm)
Sorry to hear Mr T is unwell, hope he perks soon and manages to travel home
Regards

Hi ATT, thanks for dropping by and the information about Lloyds. I've been debating whether to open an account and I think I/we will
Much appreciated.

Evening, Mr T came home mid afternoon, having run some calls from the hotel room. He's in bed, eletric blanket on, fast asleep. He's so rarely ill and it's hit him hard.
DS is also in bed asleep as he seems to have the same thing :eek:
No dinner for anyone so far and I think I am just going to go mad and fetch fish and chips for me
I had a huge melt down earlier which was driven by work pressure and extended family and I am truly grateful to GG (Gally) for being an extremely good chum in RL as well as here. Thank you x x
Money news - £34.86 claimed from TCB - thank you very much
I really am looking forward to finishing work tomorrow and intend packing up as soon as my last call is done.
Now, shall I have fish and chips or beans on toast?
