    Evening all :)

    Flowers look lovely, cake delicious.

    Well done to Karlie for getting the ipad thrown into the course :)

    Hugs to fudge2, 3dogs and blondynurse as I think you'll still need them x

    Had to restrain my spending this week, no T's for a few days, as wanted to come in under budget again this week.

    3 weeks now, and less than £20 spent per week on groceries.

    Had a promising JTD womble this evening, might nett £3.xx, fingers crossed for the email arriving tomorrow!

    Good night all

    Evening all, gorgeous flowers Nikki! Arghhh it's going to take me a while to catch up on what I can so appologies to those that I don't have chance to read or those I miss thanking!!

    Yesterday evening I lurked for all of 5 minutes and was feeling quite down already that I didn't feel like joining in on the debate, especially as I found some of the comments quite hurtful.

    Anyway, moving on....just had a fantastic whoopsie session between A's and T's :D

    A's: -

    2 x sage and onion stuffed whole chickens (originally £5.62 and £5.86)
    1 pack stewing steak (originally £4)
    2 x lamb mince (originally £3.30 x 2)
    2 x sandwich fillers (tuna mayo and egg&bacon)
    1 pack roast topside of beef (sandwich meat)

    = 80p !!!!!!!!!!!! (everything 10p each)

    T's: -

    5 x chorizo Tapas meals (whoopsied to 50p each so total cost = - £1 :D)
    1 pack strawberry iced ring donuts
    1 pack custard donuts
    4 x Thorntons 90g chocolate Santa's (broken)
    1 tub single cream
    1 pack prepared pineapple

    = 11p !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

    Woooooooooooooooo yeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

    Hope all is well with the Elite. Still thinking about your losses Blondynurse and 3Dogs xxxx

    Nice whoopsying!!! :T

    Frequent oh decorating oracle please tell me I'm doing the right thing:

    I have stripped the yucky wallpaper in my study, revealing lining paper that is mostly intact and very stuck to the wall, bar some small nicks from some overexcited stripping :D I'm planning (controversially according to OH) to just fill the holes and paint over. Will that look ok?

    I was going to take all the lining paper off but it is so stuck down it will take lots of effort and time - too much.

    If you are gonna paint over it, make sure the paint is MATT finish otherwise every imperfection will stand out a mile when the light hits it.

    MATT covers a multitude of sins.
