    you're all mere children! lol i'm also celebrating a big ole birthday this year which is giving me even more argh moments. i had lots of 'would like to do's' for my birthday but they're not going to happen so i'm going to stick to i'd like to be moved into my new house by my birthday - there you go world you've about 3 months to get your act sorted. lol

    hope you enjoyed your crafty/ gossipy evening Pippi.
  • Hey up starnac I'm glad the plans are working out for your weekend!

    Cheery - I'm sure they'll germinate :)

    LT I like that you're giving the world ultimatums!

    I have been out at the crack of dawn to the garage and just home - stranded in town I researched neeps (for my own daft amusement and blogland) - I've been holding 'neep talks' over the winter and had time today to finish off that fine work :)

    I've avoided the shops and therefore only spent petrol money

    Happy valentines day to you all - bit of a mixed one for me hence the daft neep researching, tis the day we parted with the kids dad, which always makes me feel a bit wierd.

    Mr me is also away - business but rang this am and I've money to spend on treats - which I'll do 'after' the big red day - make the money go further.

    :) hope you're all grand and loved and happy :)

    I played hide and seek with the chooks and their eggs earlier - lol - pictures on fb later what a daft bunch.

    OK where are we at?

    Car to garage today = no bill as the guy was out but a nod that my head gasket sounds like its going to go - deep joy. I hate cars. I think we're nearly at 400 between the MOT and the ongoing leaky oil saga.
    I have to write an invoice for work - hurrah

    Not done much in the way of pad'ing as I've been sick and out of the flow with that, therefore today I did a £250 PAD to lucifer as I'd locked myself out of the captain. Whoops.

    I've 36 left in one bank account and £200 in other other with DD's off tomorrow - so as they're also £200 - I've not much left but then again - means I can't spend anything.

    Dear heart Mr Me has donated £30 budget to the romantic fund - I need to decide what I might indulge myself in or put this to the cc.

    So squeaky still - but when the wages hit in a week or so I can put more to the pesky debts.

    Hens need food - I have to tentatively ask at work as I'm not around much this appears to be a bit cheeky, but helps alot.

    MSE getting on with the debt busting Rating - hmmm, showing progress but could do better I think.

    A romantic fund Pippi? How lovely. See, I'm getting good at this romantic stuff. I may borrow the idea and suggest it at this evening's dinner. My man pet may feel that there's hope for me yet!

    Not sure how I'll phrase it that he'll be the only one putting money in it though....I'll carry on thinking about that.

    Guess what...............I have finally got an answer out of the bank/financial advisor/solicitors and we're good to go :) Roll on exchange, now apparently at the beginning of next week (yes, I know, not this week as planned.....)

    So we will be in for DD's big birthday, yup, her 7th, lol :) Well that is, if I can pack everything in time!

    OH is here and currently fast asleep........who says romance is dead, lol. But there is a good reason for him being so tired *whistles innocently* so I'll let him off! He's got a bit of headache, what else were you thinking!! :)
  • Yay kk - to finally getting sorted :) woo hoo and in time for dd as well.

    Piq my man pet only put the money into the romantic fund, it makes him feel all manly and like he's taking care of me - I have a 'romantic budget' which is spent on nice meals and frippery and often things for his eyes only..................

    Dawn - you don't look a day over 21 :) hope you're well and fine on this blustery of february days - hope your homestead is fine and dandy.
