    No promotion has ever been worth sleeping with any of my bosses! *shudder* :rotfl:

    Still, 12% get it, you say? Hmm... :)

    Can I ask? Is it only beer offers that supermarket put restrictions on quantity. I only ask because big pots of porridge are currently 50p in Asda . I now have 15 pots of the stuff!

    Maybe a restriction if you bought 50?
    I think they reserve the right to restict as they see fit?

    So when did everything get SOOOOOO expensive? (well apart from my porridge obviously!)

    So I have a house with a 'bit' of stuff. Double garage sized storage is £36 per week :eek::eek:. Frankly I'd want to be living in it for that sort of money.

    This has focused the mind.
    1. I only need one bed
    2. I can flatpack shelves, chests of drawers, chairs, tables etc.
    3. I need some help with the above. I am notoriously bad at asking.

    So, I need to dismantle some stuff this weekend and get the BHF to come and collect a desk. We need to work to bear minimum left in the house or flatpacked in the house.

    House can go to rent with bare minimum in and can invite folk round to flatpack the rest of it when it's let. I get the impression I am going to be very tired by Monday, probably every Monday for the forseable future!

    But hey easy week this week. Journey to deepest darkest furthest Lincolnshire tomorrow, so far infact I'm practically in Norway. The next day I'm 100 mile round trip in the other direction. Better check the tyres tonight BEFORE the pub quiz.



    Off to have my spud.
    • Spud and cottage cheese £1.80
    • Gregg's cheese bean sausage melt £1.07
    What's all that about then? Yes you're right Anna Soubry poor people are just fat because they're lazy. Nowt to do with the price of food.

    Well have driven 192 miles today and feeling a wee bit tired. Have to do this next Thursday too. Is starting to look like hitting my targets is a possibility this year. Nearly got a free lunch too (must move quicker) pigeon pie - took a nice shot of them sat on the wardrobe in the house we were looking at!

    This morning I packed bananas and butties for lunch (how appropriate!!!) and had one of my 50p pots of porridge. Only bought one coffee and a bag of crisp (because only 'customers ' are allowed to pee at the petrol station I was at!)

    Very tired now!

    p.s. Landlord update - It appears he knows my name. El you should get hubby to progress his weight loss at more like this speed...or maybe not. I want to know why telepathy doesn't work.

    Wearing the gorgeous white dress from last night? I love it but would be willing to let Butti have it for an evening if it worked;)
