Sounds like a lovely weekend ahead. I am working at the other house and also gardening - blumming austerity. Its a pain in the nethers. I want to go see star trek but thats next months budget...

Thankfully I don't have to do any gardening - OH does all that. Have to say it looks well And the 2 wee trees planted in Feb time, apple and plum I think, are sprouting/flowering!!
Just somehow need to get rid of the slugs :eek: They seem to like our flowers a tad tooooo much!!

(Am a teeny bit jealous; it's been years since I went to a bike race).

If I can ever get myself organised enough, I'll try to get one of the videos uploaded onto YouTube for you for a nosey. Not that there's much to see considering the bikes are just whizzing past!

Hope it stays dry for the fireworks, and that you have a great weekend!

Thanks Robin I did have a good weekend. And it stayed dry! :j Portstewart was seriously packed! But lovely to see the crowds too

Has he called you yet? Told him you're a wanted woman and he's gotta get in there quick!!

:eek::eek:

Can't believe I just done that!!

Was at the Post Office for OH before lunch and they had the 'Sweets for Life' bags for Barnardos at the counter. Bought a bag of fruit and nut with choc coating. Have eaten the FULL bag of sweets in about 5 mins flat!! And that was after my sandwiches and all

EDIT:
So, needless to say I have a serious problem with snacking at work!!

Dunno what the solution would be, other than smaller portions in a multi-pack!?! :rotfl:

Bought mints at lunchtime in the hope that they'll keep me from overdosing on junk food. No I'm not saying they're healthy either but a couple of those instead of a full bag of something else should be an improvement. Have also bought yoghurts and Oddities to try them out!

Oh! Got Tesco clubcard vouchers at the weekend, and it included a £2.60 voucher off Bacardi 70cl. Which has already got £3.50 off rrp of £17. So got the bottle for £11.40! Bargain! That's the next night in/out drinks sorted! :D

please-let-me-be-lucky

Och I wouldn't worry about the Barnardos sweets - sure they count as a 5 a day .

No call from Guy yet! Must be building up the courage .... :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl: I like your thinking PLMBL! Maybe I should've got 2 bags....!!

Hmmm wonder what's keeping him... :huh:

Skint_but_Optimistic

Men arent reliable. Bags of sweeties however, are.

Reminds me on a mug a friend bought me years ago...

:rotfl:

Unix - finally got my Boots vouchers so got my straighteners :j Got these ones. I think the Argan Oil bit is just a load of bunkum, but never mind! If they last as long as my previous Remingtons I'll be more than happy!!

Currently munching on a bag of dates! Huge bag so really gotta stop eating and put the bag away Sooooo tasty though!!

Not doing so good with the spending/not spending this month. I'm doing well with my NSDs, but the days I am spending, I seem to be spending huge amounts Plus hoping to go on holiday in the summer with OH so I should be saving for that!!

Seriously - is it still only Tuesday!?

please-let-me-be-lucky

Was anything decided about the holiday? Xx

HeadAboveWater

OH asked the girls again the other night, and they both said 'no'.

I know not everyone will agree with our decision, but OH and me will go anyway. Don't get me wrong, we're not gonna be jetting off on a 1 month round-the-world trip or anything. We figure max 7 days away. Even 5 would be ok!

I'm off a week and a half in July so I have suggested that on some of the other days that we're all off, we just do day trips or something

It would be great if the girls wanted to come and we could have a proper family holiday, but in a way I think me and OH need the break ourselves too It sounds awful me saying that and I'm nearly crying as I type, but I've been struggling on and off and things have been difficult. So hard to know what to do

Skint_but_Optimistic

Its hard isnt it. Its important you and DH have a break and enjoyit. x

please-let-me-be-lucky

Hey, you've extended the invite and they've refused of their own free will. That doesn't make you bad people of you go alone. I agree it will actually be good to get some time just the 2 of you. Xx
