  • Morning Boultdj, hope it helps. You can see months worth of stuff and it really does help me plan and save £ :j

    I, :o sadly :o enjoy taking my inventories and really do look on it as cash savings.




    Grey old day here but it is also grey and raining in Portugal, so I don't feel too bad :)

    Ironing pile is winking at me and I can't 🙈 any more.

    No pennies to TT, no cash to claim, payday next week :T

    Have a good Friday.

    IT'S DONE :j:j:j

    Thanks to Graham Norton and Robert de Nero - iPlayer is such a wonderful thing :)

    Lodger's bedroom and bathroom has been cleaned and bed remade. Washing sorted and first load on.

    DS bedroom tidied - he can clean his own bathroom, I'm refusing. Parent evening last night was excellent and I'm feeling very proud of our confident and capable son - I'm sure bathroom cleaning is within his abilities :rotfl:

    Cup of tea is beckoning.

    Garden is looking extremely sad :(

    Again, Thank You Tilly, I was looking through the diffrent month's last night, also noticed activities blocked in, pity that would not work all time for me, but client's want massages after work or on their day's off, so some of it can be last minute change's for me.
    Oh my.........anyone want bake beans?...............or mushy peas?.....

    Hi, I use the activities column to remind me I need something quick :). Beans on toast sounds good to me but with BBQ sauce in with the beans mmmmmmmmm.

    Evening, just to warn you this post may be a little odd :)

    I met a very good friend today who is terminally ill. Their zest for life and doing things though is phenomenal - it makes one really question how we live and how we perhaps ought to live/look at life.

    If you knew you would not be here next year, next month, next week - what would you do differently?

    To be told you are going to die and still be able to live life to the full is absolutely incredible. It puts so many things into perspective and really does make you question life. I guess it is an extreme form of Kon Marie - does this give me joy? If not, boooger off I'll do it my way.

    I guess I'm saying to anyone reading my diary - live your life, make the right financial decisions but as they say, this isn't a dress rehearsal.

    Night Tilly x x

  • I couldn't agree more. As you know, we have plans as most on here do. I am happy to not buy a sofa or a pair of shoes. But i never let saving get in the way of a good time with people or in a good place. Here's to life.
