  • Wow, well done on the Lighterlife! That and sorting debt out too, I'm impressed!

    Mirning allk! Went to report in last night but forgot the forum was down for maint. Oops

    Peach..... Yeah... I'd increase the social budget too and have a fab time. :)

    Yesterday went totally down the pan. I have 10p left of the budget :eek: :rotfl:

    I went for a bag of hoola hoops (40p) but realised I'd given OH my £5 note to get an ebay item for me near his work place. I think the change feel out of my purse at home in the morning, so I needed to get out cash. But money burns holes in my purse... so it back a can of coke (55p), a bag of crisps (40p) and a bag of Mars Planets (55p)... so spend of £1.50 instead of 40p :o

    Okay, pulling up socks... I've made my sadnwiches, already have ryvita in the drawer that I didn't eat yesterday and will see if I can find another bag of crisps lurking somewhere. Coke will have to be tea. Problem is, as of yesterday I am training a new starter and he's not had his log-on's yet and I feel bad just wandering away from my desk to make tea etc.... REAAAAALLY hoping hi's account are ready for him today so I can geta bit of breathing space. Maybe the NSP will be easier to have as I won't feel embarrassed making my own tea (and then saving the tea bags in a tuppaware box for my compost heap :rotfl: ) and having frequent trips to my drawer to riffle through the food (that would be the food that's left after my boss "the ganet" has been down there and helped himself :rotfl:

    I'll report later if I get a chnace to get back on the net at work before I go home, otherwise tomorrow as the in-laws are down tonight and I've got some errands to run too
