    Well was going to stay in, have an NSD and sort the bedroom.....BUT LOOK AT THE WEATHER.

    So going to hang the washing out....put a bottle of water in my bag and a couple of bananas....and go and have a look at some local villages with potential house purchases on my bike. Will need to test out a pub or two so maybe not an NSD. :beer:

    Sounds a nice day out but we must be having different weather as it's currently grey here and looks like it might rain later.

    Places are always further away on a bike than they appear on a map! (Inappropriate use of the word 'local' earlier methinks)


    Ah well.....guess I'll sleep well tonight!

    Well...preparing all the information for year end at work, making sure if we are audited my schemes will be okay. I will get audited, I do every year...it shall be a minor miracle if I'm not.

    Not paying off my debts as fast as I want....I'm not one of those people who has a microcosmic mastery of all my bank accounts and everything on spreadsheets :D. I think it's a rebelling type thing. Must try harder.

    Even so....should have paid off credit card no.1 by Friday and will then have to look at how much I can pay off and still go to Germany at the start of next month.

    That's the problem....now my finances aren't being squeezed like Vanessa Feltz into a size 10 I am a bit more relaxed...and I have a social life :beer::beer: and I like it!

    So NSD tomorrow with a packed lunch.
    Pub quiz tonight with about £8.
    Pub quiz on Wednesday with about £10.
    Comedy night on Thursday which I think I will drive to so I don't drink any more than a half.

    Friday .....a day off...:j:j:j:j:j:j
    Trip home to see four friends (if I plan it right) my brother and my dad.
    Next trip home I think June.....when I shall see other friends and no dad. :D

    Is that a problem? No. You need to get used to doing your finances in moderation - not binge and starve money-dieting. Now is as good a time as any.

    I knew I should have cycled to Edinburgh!!!

    Well I have another NSD today...and am balancing that with a comedy night on Thursday. A good night out with nice people (as long as we don't sit on the front row!)

    I don't normally recommend TV programmes but this week is an exception.

    I'm sure there used to be a talking toupee on Spitting Image.
    Anyway it has obviously been busy since the demise of that programme getting its Equity card sorted. Its playing a silent partner at the moment on Dr David's head in Secret Eaters

    You heard it here first!

    It would have stopped you getting picked up by strange men at night. You may even have arrived by now too...

    Or go to the loo at any time during the turn.
