I made a big pot of leek and potato soup which will do us for the two lunches, it just feels like soup weather this week.

J-M - you will be pleased to hear DH has decided we're doing an indoor car boot in Nov, prob won't make as much as on fleabay but should be fun.

Fritter princess - did you decide what to do about the OD? Have you thought of just reducing it, just for emergencies, until you can afford to have an official emergency fund?

Ahh ty my lovelies im so so thrilled, though I now got the jakester also trying to 'upgrade' his phone :rotfl: I just keep reminding them its MY prize and I will be having first dibs on viewing and possibly changing phones :rotfl:

Hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyy his missus DH, car booty, car booty :dance: sell all that stuff if I had anything left (and it wasnt so darn cold) id do one meself :rotfl:

That's why I've agreed to an indoor one. He used to spend many a Sunday getting up before the sun did doing car boots in cold, damp fields or carparks, early, dark, cold mornings have never appealed to me.

Half the stall will probably a book stall, he has so many they don't fit on the 2 bookshelves we have and his now retired dad keeps passing them on to him at an average rate of 3 a week! If we sold them all for £1 each we'd probably make £100

Just made the chicken korma from the hairy dieters, i must say it's rather yummy, even more so as it comes in under 500 calories with rice! Cost me a fortune to get all the spices, but now i've got them it'll be a cheap dinner, and even though it's taken me 2 hours to cook, i think it'll be quicker and easier if I make up the sauce in a batch and freeze it!

hi his missus,
Still not sure what I'm going to do. I might just reduce it to £100. I really don't want the temptation! I do have a credit card with zero balance for emergencies eg. Car issues, etc. but my new philosophy is if I haven't got the money, I can't have it.
To be truthful the amount of money I've thrown at my debt this year, I'm going to be quite flush once they are paid off.
