The Unneccesary Challenge

Well, We had big day out which dear Friends paid for 'cos they were celebrating.. we've been to the dogs!!

I took £5.83 from the 'shrapnel jar' and came back with £3.71.

Dh paid for my drinks.. OK chaps it was early so not drinking at usual speed!:rotfl: He got quite ars*y 'cos not winning and then put a whole £4 on a silly bet and won £87.57!!

Always thought I had an addictive streak, but don't think I could ever get into betting big style.. I resented my 5p per go on each of the races despite it not being real spends.

After lovely day out went back to friends house - don't get me wrong, love them to bits, but was relieved they didn't come back to our house 'cos we hadn't tidied up!!

However - if they I would have felt guilty for all of 1 minute when they walked in, but 'cos they would have been welcome and we would have given them drink & food who would care??

Jet, take what suits you from old style board but don't get obsessed with house work - see above.

Kaz - i'm a mother in law - god forbid i'm as selfish as yours!! Suit yourself dear 'cos she obviously does. OK - need to keep DH on side ..but...

Joe - as a mum I would love any sort of flowers - it is the thought that counts - my late mum loved flowers but would berate us if we bought them for mothering sunday or easter ' cos she knew they cost so much more then.

Planb - I guess if you had a word about the nice but unnecessary prezzies a lot of your workmates would be relieved!
I'm the 'boss' where I work and deliberately don't instigate a group pressie or thank you collection. If they need to be done ie weddings or funerals I set a limit to a couple of quid. I felt mean at first but now think it works out for the best.

Welcome to Nugg too!!

Good Morning All,

Well just about...
Day off for me and staying indoors as weather is very gloomy outside.
Might get on with some housework and laundry today. Although all I feel like doing is being really lazy and eating junk. Of which I have none!

Having a bit of a blah day with thinking about money and debts etc....need a hug....

Hope weather is better for everyone else though xx

Just spent ages reading all the posts since Saturday, shattered now :rotfl:

Done well again last week and had £6.06 left form my £10, so have added them again to this week's budget. Should have a nice saving by the end of the month (she says - hopefully )

I decided to treat myself this morning to a hot choc with little mallows on top. All made at home so feel virtuous for that!
Its Mango and Ginger flavour too, my favorite....

Confess to being very VERY lazy. Just about to get dressed and have no plans to do anything today!
