    2 parcels ready to post tomoz, and someone coming to collect 1 item.

    Not doing too badly on groceries but do need to do a shop tomoz as have some gaps in key items... Bread, margarine, cat food.... will be an asda as need to spend my vouchers.

    Have decided to ban mid week tipples and would love a glass of wine, but no I will be strong. Will benefit my groceries target which have set at £500 again as failed last month however i think I will use some of it to top up the girls squid cards as well.

    Had a really nice email from someone who bought DD3 jewellery (beads and stuff) saying how pleased she was and that her daughter will love it. Also now up to 78 +ves.

    I'll join you in banning mid-week tipples, except my mid-week tipple is usually a bag of crisps. Very bad for me and never necessary. If I'm truly hungry I'll make a cracker but bet I won't be. Crisps are just easy to eat. It'll save me some money too :)

    I subscribe to the 'why eat one bag when six will do' so don't have them in the house :o. Will join you in no midweek alcohol (except for medicinal purposes ;)).

    Not long now till friday........ are we hanging in there Ammonite and GG? Unfortunately GG I have very much the same opinion!

    Nice bottle chilling for friday night, will taste all the nicer.

    up to 242 on ad points (more ads put on tonight)

    Spent far too much in asda, my trolley was up to the brim, cupboards bursting and dont think i bought anything I shouldnt. But then spent £111 !!! Bought meat loaf for £2.30 (in reduced cabinet) and I can say was a million times nicer than my effort. Lots of Tiger food for my boys and a new set of scales as mine are broken and clearly now cant live without.

    2 long days now so DH needs to do post office for me.

    TONIGHT????? Surely the weekend starts NOW?????? So, when would be a suitable time to hit the bottle, bearing in mind the song 'It's 5 o'clock somewhere' ;).

    Unfortunately have to work first, its a shame but they get a bit pernicky about me attending.

    I've been VERY good so meet you all tonight! Dont forget to put your best PJs on! and your most glamourous slippers.

    Unfortunately due to current economic climate (in my house) you will have to BYO (mine will be delicious by then), see you tonight..

    No. We're still paying off the cleaning bill from your place.

    (I think we've got away with the broken table folks, she hasn't noticed the pile of bricks instead of a leg ;))
