    Mr Pips is away in Kent (in posh hotel by sea, but Im not bitter honest!) on the induction for his new job so Pip is keeping me busy!
    Hmmmmm...... if I were you Pips Mum, I think I'd drop some very large hints that you expect to be taken out for a very nice meal when Mr Pips gets back:D Alternatively, you could take BDINI's advice and imagine him working really hard and having no time to enjoy the seaside or the hotel:D

    Hope Pip is behaving for you x

    Evening lovely people :wave:

    Red - if it makes you feel any better, we've had a monsoon here today..... I'm sure the UK is turning into India, boiling hot and teeming rain at the same time :eek:

    beanie - hope you enjoyed your coffee out

    thriftylass - never mind, there's always tomorrow.. onwards and upwards:)

    BDINI - thanks for the fab update :T. Unfortunately my spendy day today has turned into a mega-mega-mega spendy day.... I don't think I've spent so much money in one day for years:eek: I went to Tatco bright and early (well... early anyway;)) to do my normal weekly shop and found loads of bargains that I will use.. so now I have very full cupboards and a full to overflowing freezer... and a very sore debit card:eek: On top of that I've been thinking about buying a laptop for some time as it would be really useful for work so....... I decided to order one today :eek::eek::eek::eek:...... I think I better have lots of no spendy days between now and the end of the year to make up for today :o:o:o:o:o:o

    'night everyone x

    Hi all

    I had NSD no 4 today! Unexpectedly too - I had to go to the post office as I thought I'd need to buy extra postage for sending a document, but no, it just fell within the limits of a stamp (which I'd also taken with me).

    Just a little thing, but it made me happy!

    I'm wondering though, if anyone else saves up their spends in order to do them all on one day. Is that cheating? For example, I need to order a couple of things online for a DIY project we're doing. I could have ordered them today. But I know I've got to buy milk tomorrow so I'm waiting to order them on the same day. Does anyone else do this?

    BTW, how do you get large text? I can get bold, and colours, but not large.
