    So hoping she doesn't need to go :rotfl:

    Noooooooooo don't say that!

    I will be forcing tea/juice/water/wine down her throat. Failing that, I will be forced to sit on her bladder.

    My bathroom MUST be admired ASAP. As soon as the kids arrive home it will once again resemble a towel laden, mirror splattered urine-fest so will have to be quick of the mark:p

    PS. I am on page 18 of your diary and it's all thanks to you I haven't being buying magazines. You are my new 'must have' read:D

    Well, it's another beautifully sunny (but very cold and crisp!) day here on the East Coast of Scotland, so more washing has been done and is hanging out to dry.

    Where in Scotland are you? We are in the East too :D

    You poor soul, you need to get out more :eek:. Had a look to see where you were up to, depends on how many posts you have per page though. Have you reached the accidental house yet :o.

    Hope your friend appreciates your efforts :D.

    I can just see a Gally Girl magazine available in all good retailers coming soon! (with an Olympic sports souvenir edition available of course!).

    Hope your laptop lives!

    Ha ha, at least you're too busy to spend any money :rotfl:. You forgot to mention my Tesco's DTD stash - believe it or not I stil have 1.5 boxes of dishwasher tablets left :D. None of the wine I got paid to drink though :(.

    Not size 12 anymore (actually, never was apart from 1 pair of jeans :o).

    Edit: Sigh, I liked the pink skip :)

    My bathroom has indeed been much admired:A I am half expecting Kim and Aggie (or similar) to contact me regarding the exquisiteness of my work.

    On the money saving food-front, I cooked a pizza tonight which was 4 DAYS OLD:eek: In the olden days of last week, this would have been well chucked out, but not tonight dear reader.

    Obviously I never mentioned the lack of freshness to my daughter who happily wolfed down, and so far we have both survived (although it was a veggie one and I figured that vegetables are a bit daft, so will probably be unaware that they are out of date).

    Anyway the moral of this tale is MWHAHAAHAA that's £2.50 into the O/P pot (although still have to contact Natw*st to make certain they ARE receiving my over payments).

    Away to catch up on other diaries

    What??? I must have missed the Tesco DTD stash and wine....or maybe I've not reached this chapter yet? Was this 2011 as I'm not quite on 2012.

    Vegetables can't read so don't know any better. However, don't eat them if:
    • your hand goes right through them :eek:
    • they have more fur than Robin William's arms
    EEK

    It was at the same time as the accidental house purchase, so got glossed over a bit in the scheme of things :rotfl:. Basically Tesco's were doing Double The Difference on things so all you needed to do was find a full price in Tesco with 1/2 price elsewhere. £9.99 dishwasher tablets, £4.99 in Asda, all my money back please :). Same with Disney electric toothbrushes (sold on ebay). Best was a couple of wines, £9.99 in Tesco, £4.50 in Asda. Double the difference was £11........ don't mind if I do......... so I did......... a lot :rotfl:. Funnily enough, though I had more wine than dishwasher tablets it's the dishwasher tablets I have left :doh:. Trouble was, they wouldn't refund more than you had spent, and you could only get £20 DTD per transaction , so you had to have a list of 'same price' items and shop very carefully :D. Oh what fun we had :).

    My diary is very boring this year, I wouldn't waste your time if I was you ;).

    Congrats on the clean bathroom, I hope it lasts longer than a day or so....

    I wish I'd been wise to those DTD ideas in dishwasher tablets, wine etc - you just have had a ball GG.

    Natty, I booked a spa treatment today and thought of you....... A chocoholic body wrap, yummy! It's not for newly a month when we go away, but I'm really looking forward to it.
